New leather boots! (lemmy.world)

I just bought some Duckfeet boots for these flippers, and I can't help but love them. I love the colour and the comfort, and there's so much room for toes.

All of my shoes are either dying or not fitting well, and because adulting and becoming more environmentally conscious, I wanted good quality shoes that will last and can be resoled.

I'm still a bit conscious that they are not shaped like a "regular" shoe and that I'll stand out, but I'm at the age now where I'm saying more "Who cares, and if they do, why do their opinions matter?"

"Marble"y pattern isn't as prominent now after I've conditioned them, but they're still pretty and cute.. 👉👈

If my experience with motorbike boots is anything to go by, decent quality leather that takes a while to break in will last really well :-)

No worries on the review, I need ventilation for my messed up toes, so wouldn't be looking for the exact same sort of thing ... plus I'm guessing these are American, so not easily available to me

Yup, I'm hoping the same. Once they break in, I'm hoping to fall absolutely head over heels for them.

These boots are from Denmark! Found them here in Australia, so yes, the price is higher than likely anywhere else in the world coming from that far away, but so far, worth it. :)

Oh awesome, I'll go and see how much they are here then!

Edit: 240€ ... thats a spicy meatball! Hmm, maybe when I've moved house off the mountain then. Because the rocky trails here chew up shoes like nothing else :-/

Danish. You can get them thru the EU. Also in the US, they have a bit of a niche, cult following here.

Then hope is not lost!

Thank you :-)

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
