New Rainboots!!

I have been wanting a new pair of rain boots ever since I moved to Seattle, well over three years ago. I have tried on pairs here and there, but never found a pair that fit my calves (yoga & mini tramp have made them a bit too muscular for normal boots) and also were comfortable. Not to mention they had to look cute.
After the recent heavy rains, with my KEEN Amsterdam shoes
I searched a few websites and came across a few boots I wanted to try on. I especially liked the Chooka Rain Boot.
Anyway, I left that day without boots and flew to Michigan the next day. Literally, during my flight, a winter storm had hit the area and 4 inches of snow dropped during my 4 hour flight. Then another 10 dropped later that evening (schools were even closed.) As soon as the roads cleared, I asked my mom (yeah, it's like I'm 16 when I come home) to take me to the mall and I wanted boots!
I walk into Nordstrom again and the Novi, Michigan store has rain boots on sale, and a lot of them. The store was less picked over than my normal Seattle location, probably due to less of a rain boot demand here in the Mitten, oh yeah and that whole Michigan economy thing.
On the sale rack was a pair of Sperry Top-Sider Sadie Boots.
I am SO happy with this purchase. I've literally been wearing these three days straight. First, they are comfortable!! I feel like both my foot and ankle are supported and the do not hurt my feet at all. I feel like I am walking on my own cushion. In addition, I love that the heel gives me a bit of height.
I have been trekking around in 5-6 inches of snow without a problem and my foot has stayed warm and dry!! These boots actually make me look forward to stomping through puddles and slush.
The boots are on sale at Nordstrom for $60 right now (originally $80) or Amazon for $63. I highly recommend.
