I love my boots and hate when the weather is warmer and I have to put them away. Its the only time my toes are warm, March its still the depth of winter here maybe May wink

Sandals whenever I can as they're the only things that don't hurt so much.
I go around barefoot when possible as even tights and stockings are painful on my feet.
Come to think of it, the only time thet don't hurt is first thing in the morning before I get up!

Fed up with it!angry

Boots - and I wear them all year round with trousers.

About the only thing that makes winter bearable is that I can wear boots - I love them! Knee boots, casual ankle boots, mid-calf boots, smart ankle boots with heels, comfy dog-walking boots, even Wellie boots! The only ones I don't like (probably sour grapes ) are Uggs - or Ugg-alikes.
I have loved knee boots since my teens - do you remember The Avengers and kinky boots? I thought them the epitome of elegance.
Why do I love boots? I can wear oddsocks or pop socks or tights, boots support my legs and disguise the fact that they are not sylph-like.
Then March comes and suddenly I remember that I have legs and look out some shoes again and feel about half a stone lighter!

Boots or shoes for you?
