Boots for those with foot problems
We recently posted a letter from a reader who can’t wear heels because of foot problems and wanted to know if she could wear leggings with clunky flats.
When we mentioned that instead, she should try some flat boots, she ran out and found a pair at Nordstrom’s!
Now leggings and jeans are fine, but what if she wants to wear a skirt? Since these boots are very casual they will be look best with pants…
However, here is a skirt that will work with them too. You could also try a casual dress, like a sweater dress.
Don’t forget to make sure to find opaque hose (not sheer) or tights that match the boots. This will give the leg a longer look.
We went to Boden.com and Spiegel and found lots of great casual styles to choose from! At Boden, you can even “try” the clothes on a fantasy model and see what they would look like on a person!
Here is another combination we liked:

This skirt from Spiegel, would be a good length and weight to balance this boot.
And, for extra comfort and support, don’t forget some Dr. Scholl’s inserts!












You say that the skirt is a good length. Is it just below the knee? Does the leg show?
Hi Susan,
This skirt shown is below the knee, however the length of the skirt and the boot can vary. If you have nice knees, it is fine to have the leg show, if you wear some type of hose. (we like opaque hose best). However a nice fishnet or flesh toned hose can work just fine, especially when wearing boots where the climate is on the warm side, but you want to still dress for the “season”.
