Rain boots

I'd like everyone's opinion on shoes. I need a pair of rain boots for the fall & winter. I hate when the bottom's of my pants get wet and I also have a tendency to slip when walking in the snow or rain. I've been looking everywhere and haven't found much I like. Most have cheesy prints (I don't need anchors or umbrellas on my wellies) or they're too expensive for rubber boots (i.e. the Burberry ones I like). What's everyone think of these:

I like the fushcia. Yellow is so not me and the black is a bit plain. I think it'd make me look like a fisherman wading in the water or something. I found a great pair in Scotland last year that I should have bought, but like an idiot, didn't. Urghhhh!!

Re: Rain boots

I like the ones with the check pattern the best. The fushia ones could mess with what you want to wear that day.

I saw these in the catalogue and I think they are so cute in sage:

Talking Re: Rain boots

Coincidence - I'm looking at wellies too this morning. I always prefer black (to go with everything) but the other colors are nice too.

I like the Sperry Topside Pelican ones.

Re: Rain boots

Paul Smith makes the best wellington boots, they feature his signature patterns on them and they even come in a kitten heel version, they make the rain boot something really special.

Re: Rain boots

I ended up getting the leopard print pair at J. Crew for $48.00 - they're pretty cute and my feet stay dry.

Re: Rain boots

I got them fixed but I haven't tried them on yet to check & see how they look - still in the dry cleaning plastic. I'm bloated now (PMS) and stuffing my face with a co-workers Halloween candy so they probably don't fit.

I was pissed and annoyed and now I'll probably have to buy a new pair anyway if I keep eating like this.

Re: Rain boots

Well, since u are in the PMS mode and eating the Halloween candy, go get the cup cakes and stop eating the candy. At least the cup cakes are much yummier!!!
