New leather boots!

2026-07-17 23:46 UTC

I just bought some Duckfeet boots for these flippers, and I can’t help but love them. I love the colour and the comfort, and there’s so much room for toes. All of my shoes are either dying or not fitting well, and because adulting and becoming more environmentally conscious, I wanted good quality shoes that will last and can be resoled. I’m still a bit conscious that they are not shaped like a “regular” shoe and that I’ll stand out, but I’m at the age now where I’m saying more “Who cares, and if they do, why do their opinions matter?” "Marble"y pattern isn’t as prominent now after I’ve conditioned them, but they’re still pretty and cute… 👉👈

Wide-toe shoes for a more natural fit are hip to those in the know. Those look comfy as heck.

Barefoot shoes as a general cut/style are starting to become a lot more mainstream, so I wouldn’t worry about the shape. All my shoes, and my medium warmth pair of boots, are this style now and my feet feel great. As a bonus, a lot of their soles are minimalist too, with no foam layer, so they last a decent amount of time. Granted, you can’t really resole sneakers. I will have to give these boots a look. Rando pair of shoes in this genre:

I love the threadwork on that! Looks like a Goodyear welt? Should last a long time. I’m actually a big fan of that toe style in my own shoe collection because I’m a size 12 and I think that helps shorten my vertical line, so it can be a really flattering look. I have an everyday pair of leather boots from Thursday, hiking boots from Jim Green, and heels from Red Wing and love them all. It’s an addiction xD

Omg, I love them so very much! I have a pair similar, that are green, but just made by Colorado. They have a similar shape and I was lamenting not being able to find anything similar anywhere. I am so grateful you posted this. I just bought myself a pair of blundstone boots because they last forever, they’re designed to last forever. I’m on a path to buy things that last, I’m right into barefoot shoes. Those are so cool!

As someone with very messed up feet, these look like heaven … do they rub on your ankles at all? Right now I’m enjoying being a convert to clompy sandals that let my toes roam :-)
