Ankle boots.

[West Cork Paul]

Ideally waterproof yes.
Ones I had before were more trainer style.

I already have longer boots, if I’m honest I really need boots for dog walking and general wear. But handy if they can be worn on the bike too.

If I’m not too late to the conversation and as you said your primary use will be walking the dog with the occasional bike ride, have you looked at Danner ? Particularly they’re military range.

I've worn a pair of Home | Alt-Berg Boots for 9 years and they'll last another 9. Plenty to chose from in all sizes.

My old Nan had something like that on her club foot. I'll stick with buying overpriced Alpinestars.

That’s made me think, whatever happened to people with a club foot (can you even call it that anymore), don’t see them around anymore. Perhaps the shoes just got better? Perhaps they can operate these days to extend the length of the leg

Those of us who were born in the "50's were given polio vaccines some were still active and caused full blown polio, these maybe the victims that you remember?

Good question. She had platform shoes before they were fashionable.......but only the one.

Are ankle boots racist or have I got the wrong thread?
