    What are decent types of shoes to keep feet warm and dry in winter. I'm not looking for anything that'll be out of fashion by next year. What types of shoes are there available. I'm a jeans and hoodie kinda girl, so what will go with that?

    No uggs btw!

    I cant imagine jeans and a hoody without anything but converse or runners, but converse have been, in my experience, awful at keeping the rain out.

    I recently got black suede wedges in Dunnes for 18 euro. They go just above the ankle, to be worn under jeans.
    They are so comfy you'd think you were in uggs and warm too.

    suede tends to leak.

    May not be everyones choice, but I have lived in something very like this for the last 3 winters with toasty dry happy feet.I think they work fine for jeans and hoodies.

    If you get a good pair of leather boots, you can keep waterproofing them throughout the season and you'll stay snug and dry :) My favourites are a pair I got in Clarks last year, but there's bound to be some more this year.

    Failing that, try get casual type pair of Goretex, I have a black and blue ones that look bit like a hiking boot crossed with a runner, I can happily jump into puddles in them and stay 100% dry :)

    Thanks to everyone :) The Gortex ones look nice in pics. Anywhere in Dublin sell them?
    I wore converse all last winter. I lost track of the amount of time I lost circulation in my feet :(
