I hate winter! No wait, I utterly LOATH winter. I can’t stand the cold, the snow, the dark and the all around craptastic-fullness of this season. I could go on and on and have written several great rants in the past about the winter. I will spare you any further whining and share with you my new ally in the battle against this sinister beast. What is it you ask?
My new waterproof boots! Yep, boots. I don’t know what it is about having warm dry feet that makes all the difference in surviving the winter. Yeah, they may look like moon boots or galoshes for adults, but it is well worth a little bit of friendly shoe-drobe criticism. I think of them as my snow going tank treds. No longer do I fear stepping in that puddle or snow bank. The one that will get my feet wet causing countless hours of freezing misery. I have even been shrugging off wearing a coat, because these boots are so warm. No, I can’t crawl into them and warm up my whole body, but the amazing -40 below Thinsulate® lining keeps the cold from sneaking in through my feet. I also get to sing a little Mr. Rogers tune as I change my shoes when I get to work. My wife also got some. She looks a lot better in them than me.
If winter is consuming your soul (no pun intended), then I suggest a great pair of winter boots.
Mine are Kamik ® - Wausau ® (Men) and you can see some great pictures of them here.
