Footwear?

So what footwear do you all wear on doggy walks?
I don't anything special, either old trainers or wellies. Was wondering what you wear and why?   

Wellies if going to the park and have got done boots for a street walk they are really warm but just started leaking, think I really need done waterproof walking boots x

Call me what you want but I have a collection of hunter wellies with socks, perfect for winter and summer (ish) and matching leads to go with   

How I wish I was joking    

^^^ love it janey. I've got hunters too, or walking boots.

Wellies are the best!

That they are xx

Usually just running shoes but hiking boots on occassion if the terrain is going to be rough.

I got some purple Hunters for Xmas so always wear those now (hubby laughs cos I have to have matching hat and gloves - perfectly normal I think!)

There is definitely a hunters theme going on   sadly I can't afford to join you, basic old wellies for me I'm afraid

Brasher boots for moi, can't get the hunters in half sizes otherwise would have a pair   

I've got a selection of boots and wellies   

I wear muddy puddles boots they are kids hence the name! but am going to invest in some Hunters (posh Janey!)    

They are really comfy   

Definitely do piglet they're very comfy not to mention posh

I've got Hunters for the beach or mud and some ugly trainer things. I still haven't got around to waterproofing my walking boots that I bought ages ago   

Right that's me getting hunters then, being a posh bird I need to have some

Got some Joules wellies but don't wear them very often, usually head out in trainers and at the moment it's my waterproof Nike trail shoes all the time

I wear walking boots on long rough walks. Otherwise its hubbys wellies, or my waterproof snow boots.

Oh yes I forget to mention my snow boots, warmer than the willies too

Waders !!

  much needed I'm sure right now!

Oops sorry don't know why that repeated!   

Berghaus Walking Boots but when I hit the fields some Town and Country wellies (cos they were on offer). The walking boots I have had for 15 months now and they are still going strong.

Walking boots, Berghaus also - 1 million years old but reliable and rather comforting.

Or trainers if it's summer and dry.

Or these Hunter wellington boots. I think they're ok. I have a mental block where knee high Wellies are concerned. They may be a little pretentious or something, but I can wear them on my way home from the park and vaguely blend in with people who are not wearing the same gross mud-smeared parka I'm wearing, and so on...



Janey: I have to admit I love the fact that you are all colour co-ordinated. I have been trying to fend off my natural instinct to buy leads that match with collars that match with my scarf, or whatever. But now I know that you do, I can let go and start with the fashion experiments on my dog walks. Thank you!

I've just cleaned up my Brasher boots so they look great in the summertime too

Wow, I feel like a positive pauper reading through this thread!    

Here's me with me Dunlop Wellies (And they ARE bloody uncomfortable to walk in) and my Karrimor walking boots.

Having said that, my £25-00 (on offer) Karrimor boots have had some real hammer and are still going strong after 18 months.  I've only had to waterproof them and they are ready for doing again.  I very rarely go out in trainers due to me being diabetic and have to look after my feet, also where I go walking, the path is a disused rail track so the extra support for my ankles is a must.

I need to buy a better pair of wellies though

I have just bough a pair of karrimor boots so glad to hear yours have lasted   

today i wore flip flops ...

after having a lot of problems with my feet i got a pair of skechers. I was told they were really good but was doubtful. It turned out they are great and so comfy. I`ve just bought another pair for myself and a pair for my daughter who loves them.

Flower bud love the typo     

  Oh yes!!   

thongs
'strayla!

plus they're quick to get off and hold aloft like he's about to receive one when up to mischief ....

I live in my Dublin river boots, but about to splash out on some Dublin pinnacle boots...I tend to get them on offer at equestrian shows, but I've found that they're a great investment. Have had mine for over a year and I wear them for several hours every day. They're made of leather but are waterproof like wellies.

I tried some town and country wellies but they made my legs sweat (ewww!) although to be fair I was wearing them while mowing the lawn on a very hot day...so prob not the best test

Vix

I always get burghuse boots , but got myself some hanwags this time Thayer quite expensive but I've worn them for a year and Thayer still like new

I use my old work boots but recently found they leak so I may invest in some £10 wellies. I have some old trainers I waterproofed by rubbing a candle over them and then heated with a hairdryer until soaked in and left to dry.
Got to save the pennies now the pooch is here. She eats better than I do some days lol

After wearing the wrong type footwear for a considerable amount of time and injuring myself, I invested in a pair of Nike Air Max's (with the air going across the whole shoe) and can honestly say, they are the most comfortable trainers I've ever worn; it literally feels like you're floating/walking on air (I suppose that's the point of them lol):



Yes, they are super expensive, I paid £160 and a tad chavvy but if you've got the cash to spend and don't care what people think, i'd definitely recommend them!
