I want girls fur/fleece lined wellies or moonboots.

I give up! This is the second day this week I have trudged all over town to get boots for my little girl and come home empty handed.

I want something practical not fashionable. Something like a wellie but lined. Or a moonboot.

Clarks had a pink version which were a bit short but they would have done, but not in daughter's size.

Any ideas on where to try online?

  • Have you looked in Next? Not always a good choice on the highstreet but their directory and online has a decent choice.

    Thanks Louise but I have tried Next too. They do have 1 boot along the lines I'm looking for but a friend's little girl has them and they're not that great tbh.

    You wouldn't think it would be so hard but the shops are full of suede stuff and furry yeti boots. :rolleyes: Do these stock buyers not realise Mums will still want practical to keep little feet warm and dry when they play in the scool playground that is covered in snow??????

    Grrrr!

    Asda had some in this week. They were a welly at the bottom with fur lined waterproof fabric at the top. They we're very pale pink with a little pretty pictures on them, same height as wellies and looked very nice. They would be ideal for wet mornings and bit of snow but not very practical for deep mud.

    Try WARM BOOTS on ebay. DOn't know what age your dd is, so just pulled up girls ones.

    Some look okay. Some look awful, but there may be soemthing!

    No Asda anywhere near us unfortunately.

    There also seems to be a shortage of size 10 boots on ebay, lol.

    There's some nice pairs of Dolce & Gabanna ones but they're not her size which is probably just as well. :rotfl:

    Bummer!


    Do you have one of those Sports Soccer shops (or whatever they're called now!) near you? They had moon boots in there last year.


    Or what about a pair of Muckers or Shires muckers. My daughter has a pair of these for cold or wet days. They're much warmer than her wellies and decent treads.

    We have JJB, I think that's the only 'big' name we have.

    Those muckers boots are exactly the type of waterproof bottom I'm after but they're very short. I've bookmarked the page though...just in case. :)

    Those shire ones are jazzy :rotfl: ......but short and not in her size.
