Hi-Tec Women's Sierra V Lite Fabric Boot

Advantages: My feet are in love with these boots
Disadvantages: They're not cheap

...of talent and growing to be 5 foot 8. Personally I think I have really nice feet but I struggle to find shoes that won't fall off and I'm utterly rubbish at heels. Boot Problems ************ Women's boots are usually built to be lower round the back of the ankle than men's boots. This is something to do with anatomy - not so obvious as a bit of extra space in the crotch of your jeans but whatever the reason, it seems to be established practice with boot makers. Common practice believes boots need to be stiff around the ankles in order to give support - but then if they are too stiff, they rub like heck and my bony little knobbles get reduced to red raw bumps of pain. Luckily, I have strong ankles as a result of playing ice hockey for years and building them up so I don't want too much support. Feet have been getting longer and wider... Read review

..., but not once did I twist my ankle. The boot has a great deal of support around the heel with lots of padding on the fabric inside lining. The overall boot is durable and also waterproof.

...I have owned a pair of karrimor ksb walking boots for about 4 years now. Mine are a sandy colour and will no doubt have been superceded by a new model! They are very minimalist in their design and not at all flashy, which I like. I use them maybe 6 or 7 times a year and they are still holding up well. I use them for hill walking in the spring to autumn in Scotland. As they are fabric boots you might expect them to let water in however I have never had any problems with this. I don't tent to go walking in extreme conditions, but them I have set out on glorious summer days and been caught out by thunder storms. My feet have always stayed dry, even when splashing through puddles. I find these boots quite narrow, which suits my feet, but this may not be suitable for all. They are very cushioned on the inside, even 4 years... Read review
