Resolving the Wet Weather Footwear Issue

Anonymous

Now that I live in the Pacific North West, I am definitly encountering my share of damp streets! The other day, I was out running around doing my errands and encountered rain, hail and sun all within the span of 4 hours. But I think I found a nice footwear solution!

They were quite comfortable and as long as you didn't look TOO closely, it was hard to tell they were "drylastic". I think these little boots are a nice compromise between dry feet and almost-fab! I need to track down a black pair as well.

What do you mean, Marlene? Does the fabric look odd, and did you get brown?

I did get brown because that was the only color they had on QVC. But this style worked so well I should get a black version of these as well since I wear so much black and gray.

I liked that my feet stayed dry and I still looked pulled together. A major step up from my bright blue wellies! The fabric looks fine from far away but definitely looks vinyl close-up. "Drylastic" is what Me Too is calling their water-resistent footwear these days. I don't think I can slog through puddles in these boots but for dashing around town they worked very, very well in resisting the dampness of city streets.

Oh! These are cute! And they are from Me-Too, so they are probably very comfy too, no??

I would give these a whirl myself. I have a pair of "pleather" boots I've had for several years now. Keep meaning to replace them for real leather. Like you, I keep thinking "but they're not leather and if you look close everyone can obviously see they're pleather!!"

However, I constantly get compliments on these boots, so I think it's only me that notices they aren't real leather. Plus, they are uber comfy, and - unlike real leather - wear very well with all the salt we have on the streets here in Boston.

That's it exactly! I wanted the LOOK of my nice leather boots but don't want to risk ruining them on really wet days. And yes, they were comfy. I actually forgot to take them off when I got inside the house because I forgot all about them.
