The sort you use when in the river, typically FISHING for salmon in Scotland say, and your bait would be a fly. It's called "fly fishing". You let the fly rest on top of the water in a fast running river or stream to catch the fish. YOU remarked .... "Just right for fly fishing." as it happens, (reference above) a completely appropriate comment - even if it wasn't entirely what you meant by the comment ... So how surprised was I, and possibly others, when you further commented; "What makes you think I would be fishing?" Well, fly-fishing, is fishing. Why would I (or anyone else) think you meant anything other than fishing? Related: Edited May 18, 2017 by FastFreddy2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacchi Alti Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Norah Batty style in the first picture! Could they do some chest waders perhaps? All in one dungarees/heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in one dungarees/heels After reading a promo suggestion these boots look good in jeans and leggings, a commenter asked how the wearer was supposed to use the loo if wearing these? Good point. That's a lot of boot and jeans to be hanging around the knees while sat down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puffer Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 If you really must wear these 'waders', there are some at an affordable (apparently discounted) price here: http://www.lollicouture.com/shoes-boots-tslo1-m48-14navybluesatin.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good find. I won't be buying, but an interesting site that ships to the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shyheels Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 No, not terribly discrete. And having gone for wild splashy colour on the boots, the sensible thing would have been something neutral and solid on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do both, makes it look like she's wearing wallpaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastFreddy2 Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Seen in charity shop ... Think they might be from Dorthy Perkins.... Seen in an online newspaper, referring to 'designs' that didn't really work.... I think the pink shoes above, might be a style someone might wear to the Oscars, as there is undoubtedly a nod to the statue in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing short of a loaded gun held to my temple, would get me wearing anything that gaudy. I was nearly blinded by the colour mix as I walked past the shop. It was causing a small rupture in the 'time and space continuum' towards the front of the shop. I was certain I saw people disappear as they passed it. Fortunately I have a special tin-foil hat that protects me from such ruptures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever decided on that colour group for a shoe, really had no idea about colour - at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointyboot Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I would like to try a pair of THESE, from Refuse To Be Usual. 7 inch heels, but they look worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFreddy2 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Those boots look divine. Sadly for me waaaaay too much material around the calves. Mine measure around 13½ inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyheels Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Being an utter neophyte I cannot imagine standing in 7-inch heels, but I should think if you did your calf muscles would knot up like balloons so that you’d fill those boot shafts completely!
