i need new boots and i've seen some new rocks for 70€ that i might get....but....

do they last a long time
are they really comfy
can you wear them lots
and do they work with lots of things.....

or can you sugest a much cheaper alternative.

and i can't buy shoes online because my feet are really weird but anyway....

not really.

no.

if you want.

and do they work with lots of things

well, you can wear them with skirts, skirts or skirts :p

cheaper, sturdier and more comfy alternative: military boots. you can get them second hand off ebay, or from most army surplus shops. they literally last forever, and mine are waterproof to the mid-calf, so come winter, i'm sorted.

that's where army cadets come in handy :)

over here you can find them from about a size 1 (euro size 34). there are a few on ebay.

My friend has a pair and for the 1st couple of weeks or so she had to wear plasters constantly because of blisters.
They were £125 which is pretty much the standard price if you buy them new.
They do last though, but that is probably because people can't wear them 24/7 cause after a few hours your feet are gonna ache lugging them about :p

They can look pretty good though depending on who's wearing them and what they are wearing them with.

I've had my New Rocks for about 3 years now and they're as comfy now, as they were day one. They're like slippers, I wear mine pretty much all day everyday.

They are hard to get used to, if you're not used to wearing heavy boots/shoes, or platforms.

Mine cost £119.... Worth every penny.

i know. and thank you for doing so.

i've found some dirt cheap new rocks on ebay which i might get but i think i'm gonna get some cheap dm type things as well.

i walk far too much to be wearing new rocks all the time.

Ahh but if you get used to your new rocks the weight of them will tone up your thighs and bum:D:thumb: I'm worn mine everyday since a week before x.mas and my arse looks fab!

They are comfy but I have to wear thick man socks cos I have bony ankles and they rub ever so slightly. But I've not had them long so I gotta wear them in.

I can wear them with anything, skirts, trousers, dresses.....not pedel pushers tho....that would be a bad bad thing,

I love mine personally. Slowly wearing out now, after two years, though, and I'll probably buy more.

Oh, and I never found them at all heavy, but everyone you meet will immediately ask 'isn't it hard to walk in those?'
