Title: Snow Queen Footwear
Post by: Lishy on November 06, 2008, 06:40:38 PM
So last year my "snow queen" started out as an attempt at a snow fairy.  But alas, wings and I dont get along well, and so it evolved into more of an amazonian snow queen.  You know, fur, velvet, staff, etc.

This year Im going to keep with it since I did receive quite a bit of compliments last year.  However, I need boots.  Being Diabetic, I have to be super careful with my feet, and was hoping someone might be able to point me in the direction of some good winter moccasins.  Id like something with fur on them, and no heel.

Thank you all very much for any help you can give me!

I've got bad neuropathy due to chemo & find that I can wear Uggs comfortably.  They also come in lots of colors.

I checked ebay, and found these...

Not so sure about the hearts, but I suppose you could cover them somehow...

The foot part of those aren't the most attractive, but with a little more faux fur or some glitter, they might not be too bad...

And these are just really cool...if my feet were bigger...

There were plenty of UGGs and UGG-type boots there too, I just searched women's boots - white - flat heeled

Good Luck!  :)

Here's a totally different idea (since this is TX and usually warm) - silver Medieval Mocassins.  No fur, but you could wear them with some sort of sock (and maybe trim the tops of those with fur).  I just think the silver would look cool with what you're describing.
