Hi, I tried to look for other questions on this topic, but I couldn't get past the first page (it said "the topic you requested does not exist") so sorry if this is a repeat!

I'm going to be in Russia (St Pete's) for about 9 months from October to June, and in the winter I know I'll need warm fur-lined boots or something similar, which I plan to buy over there. However... when the weather is slightly better, what sort of shoes should I wear? Would fashion leather boots or shoes, of the kind women wear in the UK, be alright for, say, October and from the spring onwards? I'm just not sure which of my (many) pairs of shoes to bring with me!

And what about smart shoes... I can't picture women going clubbing or to the theatre wearing great big furry boots, but neither can I imagine them trudging the streets in minus temperatures wearing flimsy sandals or pretty little shoes!

Thanks for your help, anyone who reads this!

Laura

Fashion boots are in during autumn/winter. However i strongly recommend you to bring that 1 pair of comfortable walking boots, and buy the fashionable/smart boots here. High-heeled, fashionable fur-lined leather boots are very easy to find here and are fine to go clubbing in. Anyway I do actually end up buying fashion boots form UK outlets here... Embarassed these are fine and actually quite popular. You'll be ok as long as they have thick winter lining inside.
