Dynamite5 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I know some of you shoe hounds out there have some winter favorites--please share! I'm looking for shoes for winter that aren't boots, that I can walk a lot in and be comfortable, but are stylish. What are your favorites? I'm not looking for simple flats.

Janie Grace Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Hmmm. The only thing I wear during the winter that aren't boots or flats are sneakers. I have grey low top Converse, navy Vans, and a pair of the new Rifle Keds (which I adore). I have the Kickstart Queen Anne ones. They go with everything and I love wearing gold jewelry when I wear them -- makes me feel coordinated. :lol: I wish those wool clogs were still in style. Those things were the best.

Familia Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Low heeled boots are less commitment than high boots. They look adorable with both pants and skirts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I am looking for the same thing. I have boots. I want a shoe that isn't a sneaker, but that works for winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I'm thinking maybe something like a loafer? But I haven't found one that quite caught my eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catz Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I had something made by Solomon similar to this for a few years and they worked great. I'd actually love another pair. I had them in woman's sizes. https://www.zappos.com/p/salomon-snow-clog-black-black-black/product/8906809/color/24150?ef_id=V0JlQQAAAHiaHmlF:20171120200808:s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopmom Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) LL Bean, as always. We like these: https://m.llbean.com/product.html?bc=&skCatId=58464&csp=a#58464 They also come in a Mary Jane for non snowy days Edited November 20, 2017 by Hilltopmom 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamonlyone Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I second LL Bean. I love their comfort mocs. I have them in brown and black suede—super comfortable and last forever. They did redesign the women's version, so I ordered the boys' model when I purchased my black ones. I prefer the roomier toes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiguirre Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I just got Land's End's slimmer women's moc and wore them for the first time yesterday. https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-comfort-slip-on-shoes/id_289534?sku_0=::AJ2 I really like them! They're less bulky than the traditional slip-on mocs but they're still sturdy enough. I pair them with wool blend socks in wild prints like these: https://smile.amazon.com/Buttons-Pleats-Womens-Socks-Pattern/dp/B00RAAQC4Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1511272750&sr=8-2&keywords=buttons+and+pleats+socks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Salomon water proof trail runners do well in muddy weather, but I don't think they are really warm enough for snow. They're cute, though--I always get compliments when I wear mine. Very colorful but not over the top. Definitely warmer than, say, canvas sneakers. I find for cold, slushy weather leather flats with waterproof soles rather than leather ones are my best bet if I don't want to wear boots. My favorites in that category are made by Earthies, Bjorn, and Sofft. These would be great with pants: http://www.earthbrands.com/item/earthies-santana-womens-oxford/49884/PBL These are the ones I wear most, and they are super comfortable. They go with suits, flowy skirts, pencil skirts, pants, and jeans. I have them in four colors and I wear them 6 days per week: http://www.earthbrands.com/item/earth-shoes-bellwether-leather-ballet-flat/24440/119 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word Nerd Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I've lost count of how many products I've ordered over the years because The Hive recommended them, but I can add the LL Bean comfort mocs to my list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite5 Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Now I'm looking at these oxfords. I like how sturdy they look, without being a boot. They get good reviews and I can wear great socks like the ones chiguirre posted about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get good reviews and I can wear great socks like the ones chiguirre posted about. Those ARE cute. I tend to walk right out of shoes like that. For some reason (I think maybe my narrow heel), I do best with flats, tied shoes, or shoes with straps. I would wear the great socks with the tied shoes for sure, but not as much would show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
