the rain boot

a few days a month it rains ALL DAY in the big apple.
if you wear flats they get drenched and ruined.
if you wear sneakers it's the same.

the only way NOT to ruin your shoes on a rain filled day is to wear rain boots.
luckily they're gorgeous!

<------ so i have a pair of nice Lady N Hunter boots, BUT if you look at me walking down the street my legs are not swimming in the shoes. They're actually quite tight around my calf (sigh). therefore, i have come to the conclusion that i must find short ones for the lady on the go go.

here are my finalists:
<------------the ARGYLL short boot that I can only find in men's so I need to try it on some time at a store before I venture to buy. i'm even thinking of ordering them from the England. $69.26 at Zappos.com


today i found a pair that i think are the ones: TRETORN----------->

they are lined
and they look canadian (not sure though)
they're cheaper than the short trendy argyll

i'm convincing myself just writing this.

$60 at REI.com

not shiny ones at amazon for $54.99, oh amazon, so reliable...

$59.95 minus $20 using paypal = 39.95 if you buy at shoebuy.com

Hunter does make a wide calf edition...they are called, unfortunately, (or not?) the Huntress. I own them, they are stellar: http://www.hunterboots.com/2/2/Shop-Online/for-SPORT/Huntress/BLACK/W23179_BLK.aspx?pindex=0&sw=W23179

But those Tretorns are lovely, too.

OMG thank you for commenting! (no really!)

i can't believe i missed that about hunter boots. i feel like i'm in on some secret now. i think it's time to reconsider my options.
