Let's talk Boots...

I am not really into UGGs at all.

But my feet are always cold in the winter plus I teach in Brooklyn and there is no parking so I usually have to walk a few blocks in the snow to get to work....

Mix that with my irrational fear of falling and breaking every bone in my body and well -- I should just get a pair of boots.

I don't want anything dorky...

And 2" stilletto black leather boots wouldn't work for me either...

So what the heck else is there out there?!?!

I have the same problem! DH wants to go to the Timberland outlet and look around.

Re: Let's talk Boots...

Are you planning to change into regular shoes once at work? Or, do you want them to be "indoor/outdoor"? If you plan to change, I would suggest Totes. They are not the cutest, but the ones I got are plain black and are warm and waterproof. They work for trucking through the snow/sleet/rain and they typically blend in with my work clothes. Although I wouldn't choose to wear them all day at work.

I'm a sucker for the duck boots at LL Bean...they're comfy and warm.

Re: Let's talk Boots...

I got my DH a pair of boots from LL bean that actually look OK with jeans too -- and on a snowy day I can totally wear jeans all day at work so I probably wouldn't even change -- so I might be able to do something like that.

I haven't checked out Timberland, Totes or Columbia so thanks for those ideas! I'll be doing some web surfing tonight!

I bought a pair of Khombu boots from zappos last year and I loved them. I'd wear them to work and then change to regular shoes when I got to my desk.

I could wear them all the way up and they fit under my boot cut pants. They are very warm and comfortable.

You're welcome!

I never heard of them until I started searching for good winter boots. I went to a few ski shops and found a few good brands, then I looked online for the same boots (found much better prices online).

I like checking out shoes on Zappos.com because they give multiple views of the shoes from different angles, and they give user reviews.
