[Marina]

Does anyone know what this may be? Thank you.

 

[Clare]

Apparently it's the Melba which the guest let slip in yesterday's show

£66.46 from amazon in chestnut size uk 6 if anyone interested would rather buy the ugg bailey for fit and comfort though

 

[Marina]

Thank you very much Clare and boffy. Is it true that I need to buy a size down?

Thank you very much Clare and boffy. Is it true that I need to buy a size down?

i do with emu but i size up with ugg as the fit is much neater and i dont want to make a hole in my boots with my big toe lol

 

[Clare]

I size down with Emu too I'm a 6.5 so uggs are more true to size for me

I still poke my toe through the bliddy things no matter what size I buy.

My big toes also make holes through the fabric/leather of shoes. I have to darn the netting on the big toe area on my expensive Asic trainers after 3 months. Tried to get the suppliers to take them back for both pairs but apparently some people have toes that make holes in shoes. I remember reading that a woman used to tap a 10p coin in her son's shoes to strengthen them where his big toe is wrecking the shoes.

I’ve spoken to CS to advice me on sizing and they told me to get my actual size.
I did place an order because there was just one pair left.
Please can anyone tell me if I did the right thing, I can still cancel it (I hope)
Thank you x

These are the boots I ordered

I buy boots from a site called Kiwi Sheepskins. They`re in NZ but all prices quoted include p and p plus prepaid tax and import charges. They do sheepskin boots with extra tough soles and reinforced toes and they`re brilliant. Mine have seen me through the hardest of Winters and they don`t seem to go baggy or lose their shape. To order from them you actually measure your foot by placing it on a piece of paper, draw a pencil line at the end of your big toe and another at the back of your heel then measure the distance between them and order accordingly.

A word of advice for the toe-poking-a-hole-through-th-shoe brigade: make sure your toenails are cut short and straight across (and nicely emery-boarded to get rid of the sharp corners and smooth the edges). I'm not being cheeky, but two people I know have this problem, and both of them wear their toenails too long - coincidence? (They always poke holes in their socks as well, so go figure... ). Whereas, I, who keep my toenails short, don't have this problem. Just a thought.

boffy, I don’t really understand DSR. If it’s not too much trouble, please could you tell what I need to do? Thank you.

thanks MarieC but unfortunately not the solution for me. I keep my toenails short. I think the problem with the big toes making holes on the top of my shoes is to do with the way I walk/run. Certainly the sports shop that I attempted to return the £120 less than 3 month old Asics to just said it was a common problem. As I love asics as these are my second pair (same thing happened to the first pair) I darn them as they are mesh where the big toe has made a hole.

Generally my other shoes just end up with a bump where the big toe is and have done for as long as I can remember.

Interesting trailer by QVC showing how the EMUs are handmade with such LovingCare by older craftsmen. They are made in China! according to Google.

 

[donna255]

Yes, and so are Uggs. That is how you spot the fakes, they will always say made in Australia or the US.

 

[candycane]

It beats me why anyone would pay such huge prices for such ugly boots.
