Billow boots
      #273536 - 08/12/2008 19:03

Has anyone tried these yet? I read about them yesterday in the Sunday Times and have ordered a pair. They are made by the same people as FitFlops which I bought in the summer and practically lived in - walked around Barcelona in them for 5 days in 28 degree heat and hadn't an ache or blister. I'm hoping the boots will be the same. They are a bit pricey but I'd rather pay a bit for really comfy boots than buy 2 or 3 cheaper pairs that rub or hurt!

Are you mad? I'd be in casualty in no time if I wore those!! No, the boots I'm talking about are at the other end of the comfort scale!!

I still don't know what billow boots are?????

Are they a sort of duvet boot which keeps your toes toastie??

No, they are the winter version of the cult Fitflop sandals. Short boots somewhat like Uggs - have tried them on and seem very comfortable - and warm, I'm told. I'm sure if you look at the Fitflop site all will be explained ...

They actually have them in our local sportswear shop - but if you want to see what they look like just google Fitflop.

My boots have now arrived and are welded to my feet - very warm and comfy.Wore them Christmas shopping yesterday and they were great. Also, unlike some other Ugg type boots I have bought (and donated to my daughter) they don't pull your socks off!!
