Boot dilema! - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

boysRsmelly · December 15th, 2007, 06:50 PM

I've been looking at boots all night! Why? Well, I was going to school last week right after it snowed and they didn't have the walkways cleared off yet... and do you know what I realized? Strange as it sounds, but I haven't had any boots for years! LOL! And it snows here all the time... but I guess I hadn't needed to tromp through the snow of quite awhile.

Anyway, I want a pair of boots that are:
1. Warm and water proof
2. Cute and can go with jeans
3. Are functional... sorry, but I'd probably fall on my butt if I was trying to walk throw snow in high-heels
Any suggestions?

I was looking at these Sam Edelman boots on Zappos... but I'm wondering if they are a little too wild:

And then I thought maybe... ::gasp::... Uggs! But the little less Ugg-ly ones... they do actually make somewhat normal looking boots:

I also saw these Sketchers:

Other ideas that I haven't thought of would be appreciated!

Out of all of them, I think these are the cutest! I like them

2nd choice would be these:

I'm not a fan of a lighter colored boot, I think they'd show dirt more.

The light colored Ugg you mentioned comes in tan, dark brown, and black too. I don't think I would get it in the light color, that was just the color pictured.
How's this:

I actually love UGGs when it is cold or snowing. They might be ugg-ly but they are super warm and comfy and keep your toes toasty. I would def. go with a darker color. The light ones are too difficult to keep clean.

I like these.

I really like this combo!

JessLR · December 15th, 2007, 07:39 PM

^^Same here! Those are cute too! I actually like those best.

boysRsmelly · December 15th, 2007, 07:59 PM

Okay, I'll check them out tomorrow maybe. Do you think they'll still be in style next year? With my luck I'll buy them and then it won't snow again all winter! LOL!

Zombiegirl · December 15th, 2007, 08:04 PM

Winter boots are always in style...especially when it is snowing!

boysRsmelly · December 15th, 2007, 08:18 PM

LOL! Well this is a such thing as ugly winter boots. I hate the classic Uggs, myself... but everyone still wears them.

boysRsmelly · December 16th, 2007, 04:42 PM

Okay... they were completely sold out of the pair you girls picked out.

So I tried these ones on and liked them:

Do they look alright? I thought they looked better than the other pair they had in my size... this one:

OMG! I can't believe I just bought a pair of Uggs.

How embarrassing!

Jennifer · December 16th, 2007, 05:06 PM

hey brs, those boots are kindof cool for snow-wear. i know I've said before that I'm not a fan of uggs, well I dont like the classic pair (that everyone has - went through that faze in highschool

), but I like those pairs that you posted. come to think of it, when i was going to school over in central washington they were perfect for snow and so warm (snowed like 2-5 feet per year), plus don't be embarrassed their alot cuter than other winter-boots out in the market.

you will love your new pair.

boysRsmelly · December 16th, 2007, 06:08 PM

Thanks Jennifer! I was kinda bummed about them being sold out of the one the other girls picked out. Well... I guess I can't say they were completely sold out. LOL! They did have a size 11 left.

I just liked how they laced up the side and had the cute little button things. It says they are still available on the store's website... but I don't know if I want to risk buying them, having them shipped, and then they not looking the way I had wanted them to. I wish I could have tried them on in the store.

VivaLaJuicy · December 16th, 2007, 11:09 PM

I say as long as you wear them, their great! I bought furry boots a while back too, I was really wanting some UGGS, but I was a bit low on cash... I got some other brand at Dillrds... I think thier cute... they're different, and not commonly seen around!

Zombiegirl · December 17th, 2007, 09:23 AM

bRs- Do you like how they feel on your feet? I had a pair like the ones you bought and they didn't feel right around my toes. I bought them about 3 years ago so maybe they have perfected them by now.

Congrats on your new boots!! Don't be embarrased...if you like them and they feel good then be proud!
