Ask Angie: Summer Clubbing with Boots ok?

Hi everyone!

It is summer time where I am. College final exams are over and I plan to do a lot of clubbing and partying over the month of July. I bought a lot of cute party dresses for clubbing. I definitely intend to look my best. I have some fun eye shadow as well. My problem is this. It is summer time and I love to wear my boots for clubbing! I don't like getting stepped on while wearing sandals. It really hurts! Clubs are often crowded and getting stepped on is unavoidable. I also like to wear high heels with my dresses and heels can get tiring. I usually cheat by wearing a pair of thick padded socks inside a pair of high heel boots, along with a gel cushioning insole so I can stay on my feet longer and not get as tired. I can't hide my gel insole and my padded socks in sandals.

Is it okay if I continue to wear my favorite clubbing boots with my summer dresses? I really really want to continue to wear them for clubbing as nothing else feels quite right, is as practical and is as comfortable for me as my clubbing boots!

My favorite boots for clubbing are:

Does anyone else here wear boots for clubbing even in the summer?
What is the best way to integrate these boots with my summer party dresses?

I don't know your location (and I'm not Angie) but I think those boots would be kind of miserable in the summer if it's warm at night...

How about a pair of summer booties? You could do the gel sole still (probably not the socks).

You could also do a flat moto boot that came up only to mid-calf if you want to do a "tougher" look. I'll get they'd be supppper comfy, too!

I think your uggs may be too warm, but I have seen young women wear boots, especially mid-calf boots out and about at night! It does get a bit chilly here at night though (about 10 to 15 C), so I think it's perfectly fine to wear a pair of boots, as long as your toes aren't drowning in sweat :p

I think when you go clubbing, not a lot of people are looking at your feet, so it's important to keep them as "safe" as possible I'm not on the club scene these days, but the places that we usually go for drinks or what not aren't really that crowded - we usually get bottle service and a booth, so we can wear sandals or pumps, or what not ...

Jenava, Lyn, thank you for your replies.

Jenava, I like your idea of lighter colour boots for the summer clubbing scene. I really like to club with heels, which is why I am aiming for a boot that has one, since dancing in heels look prettier. As my summer clubbing dresses are all sorts colours, from bright red to cotton white and midnight black, I guess I should get the boots in a neutral colour, like a white or cognac?

Lyn, the Ugg Savoie boots have a nice leather exterior to protect me from getting stomped on in crowded clubs and the soft lining on the inside is the best I have ever felt, for dancing in heels. The padding is truly excellent! All other heels make me tire out must faster but with this pair of boots, I can wear the 3" heels and a pair of thick socks and last almost all night long. The sheepskin fleece actually breathes much better then they look too and if the boots get hot, I can fold them down

Speaking of those Ugg Savoie boots, what does everything think the best way to wear them with clubbing dresses is? Should I wear them with thick socks that peak out over the top of the boot? Should I wear them with thick socks hidden inside the boot and tights? Should I wear them with bare legs and my clubbing dress?
