Instead I've been wearing what are probably the least "winter-worthy" option, Frye 'Molly' boots which are very comfortable but slippy with leather bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-any-interesting-winter-worthy-boots-lately#post-1877381 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 17:23:08 +0000 Diana 1877381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale, heh now that you mention it I think I might actually have tried the Tevas at some point in the past and didn't keep them. &nbsp;I don't remember why. &nbsp;They do seem quite familiar!</p> <p>Kkards, that smoke color is gorgeous! Unfortunately that type of sole tends to be really slippy on the sidewalks here.</p> <p>Staysfit, good idea to check eBay for the burgundy blondos. I do vaguely remember them from a few years ago.</p> <p>Aurore, those are really lovely! &nbsp;Thanks for the brand recommendation - I hadn't heard of either brand before. &nbsp;I wonder if there's somewhere I can find them with free/cheap shipping/returns in the states...&nbsp;</p> <div><br />LP, I am on the fence about cognac. I have a pair of tall laced cognac boots (which are too cold/slippy to wear right now) that I don't think gets worn enough and I don't know if it's the color (too close to brown maybe) holding me back. &nbsp;I do like them though..&nbsp;</p> <p>In the meantime, we are having a weird warm week right now and the sidewalks are pretty clear so I'm taking the opportunity to wear some of my other boots. &nbsp;It's just a brief respite though as we are supposed to get back to arctic temps next week.</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-any-interesting-winter-worthy-boots-lately#post-1877380 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 17:20:23 +0000 rebekahphoto 1877380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>my tall waterproof boots that I have worn to death are from Sebago, you might check there</p> <p>I saw they have a shorter burgundy style <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Sebago-Laney-Mid-Boot-Burgundy/dp/B01B8WXDLG/ref=sr_1_10?s=apparel&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1515604652&amp;sr=1-10&amp;nodeID=7141123011&amp;psd=1&amp;keywords=sebago+boots+women">https://www.amazon.com/Sebago-.....038;ie=UTF</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-any-interesting-winter-worthy-boots-lately#post-1877377 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 17:14:26 +0000 rebekahphoto 1877377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>seems that Teva is an older model, sold out most places! :(<br />I did find the shorter model in burgundy:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Teva-De-La-Vina-Mosiac-Low-Womens-Boots-Size-8-Waterproof-Leather-Gray-MINT/292389791808?hash=item4413ca2840:g:QskAAOSwyXNaIFiR">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Teva-.....-Gray-MINT</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Teva-De-La-Vina-Mosiac-Low-Womens-Boots-Size-8-Waterproof-Leather-Gray-MINT/292389791808?hash=item4413ca2840:g:QskAAOSwyXNaIFiR"><br /></a></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-any-interesting-winter-worthy-boots-lately#post-1877306 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 15:15:07 +0000 LaPed 1877306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blondo has several tall riding boots in "Butterscotch" (sort of a dark cognac) that caught my eye.

I'm not sure you would like their (quite massive) design and they are only available in brown and black,&nbsp;but I included a photo (#3) in case it could sparkle an idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-any-interesting-winter-worthy-boots-lately#post-1877263 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 12:11:10 +0000 kkards 1877263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok, i know you said not brown....but these are so good looking i'm throwing them into the mix anyway<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.overland.com/products/womens-bos-co-hudson-shearling-lined-waterproof-leather-b-58129.aspx?WT.mc_id=00007&amp;utm_source=froogle&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=froogle&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAkNfSBRCSARIsAL-u3X9dJ66SRiGq4NiMVBcF6GJITjJTBNPd-JwKT7dUOe0FaJiMiNQvAo0aAk2FEALw_wcB">https://www.overland.com/produ.....b-58129.as</a></p> <p>but i think this pair, in "smoke" is probably more what you have in mind..<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.overland.com/products/womens-overland-regan-fleece-lined-leather-boots-50307.aspx">https://www.overland.com/produ.....50307.aspx</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-any-interesting-winter-worthy-boots-lately#post-1877259 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 11:29:31 +0000 Chris987 1877259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are black so not your preferred color, 8" shaft (not 10" as you prefer) but I am loving them. Great traction, warm, waterproof, and do seem tough although I've only had them for a few weeks. They run just a little big.&nbsp;The&nbsp;ankle strap means they&nbsp;can be tightened up a bit in that area although I don't need to.&nbsp;Some of my pants stay tucked in and some do not, and I'm still experimenting with how to work with that. They also look great with pants outside the boots if they are slim pants at the right length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-any-interesting-winter-worthy-boots-lately#post-1877242 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 10:11:51 +0000 Staysfit 1877242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, at one time Blondo did make a burgundy colored boot.

(I need 7.5 or 8.). Of course they're available in many sizes I guess what? Black and brown. Bummer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-any-interesting-winter-worthy-boots-lately#post-1877198 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 04:19:36 +0000 Diana 1877198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions!</p> <p>Rebekah, I like several of your options. The Teva and the Pikolinos especially. I had considered those red Bos and co boots but I'm not sold on the brown sweater trim - I really don't do brown, plus it just reads a bit too casual to me somehow. </p> <p>Jaileen, I love blondos and they fit me well but am annoyed that most of their options only come in black and dark brown. I don't want a bootie for this particular purpose though, as they don't work with my deep winter pants which are mostly skinny and slim and need to be tucked into the boots - because of my skinny ankles, my pants are all a bit loose at the ankle which means I can't tuck them into short booties. I prefer booties with crops or bootcuts, neither of which are practical in this weather.</p> <p>Greyscale, I actually do have Frye motos. They're super slippery though,even after I had the heel plates replaced with more rubbery ones. I AM considering getting some other motos though! And I'm a little hesitant about more Docs - the pair I have (an 8-eye style) are very heavy and too wide/deep for my low volume feet (plus no half sizes, boo) so they're not as comfy as I'd like. Still, I might pull them out anyway for variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-any-interesting-winter-worthy-boots-lately#post-1877178 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 03:39:13 +0000 Greyscale 1877178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found boots recently that fit none of your actual criteria but solve the same problem for me - Frye Campus boots. (They're black, wide in the ankle, and barely fit my calves despite being huge on all the models!) But I know exactly what you mean about needing a change. I didn't want to wear my old knee-high boots but I wanted something in the same vein.</p> <p>How about calf-height motorcycle boots? Dr Martens or Frye, or maybe not those exact brands but something similar but more weatherproof, perhaps.</p> <p>(Oh lord, as someone who's sensitive to most scented products... I really hope this trend doesn't spread too far! I had a lovely pair of boots once that were baby powder scented. It never really faded and I never really wore them.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-any-interesting-winter-worthy-boots-lately#post-1877159 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 02:42:26 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1877159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well. Lemon Jelly has not previously come to my attention in the winter this year. I’ve mostly been focused on footwear from Icebugs and La Canadienne for my day to day needs. I hear you on avoiding the all-black-trap. I have some navy Bos boots from last year but they don’t fill the gap between the La Canadienne terribly beat up shearling motos and the wicked ugly, carbide studded, get me down the driveway Icebugs (both are black). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-any-interesting-winter-worthy-boots-lately#post-1877156 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 02:34:37 +0000 JAileen 1877156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought these grey Blondos at NAS. I had to pack very lightly for Christmas and took only one pair of shoes, these. They were very comfy, and of course they’re waterproof. I actually didn’t need waterproof as it was very balmy in Northern California at Christmas. They’re sized big enough that I can wear my hiking socks with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-any-interesting-winter-worthy-boots-lately#post-1877151 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 02:02:21 +0000 rebekahphoto 1877151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm following as I'm also interested in similar boots....<br />a couple more moto styles I came across. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-any-interesting-winter-worthy-boots-lately#post-1877053 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 21:56:23 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1877053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not sure what you’d consider “interesting”.
