With my tight beer budget and champagne taste, I stalk and then shop for higher end winter items in summer for the best deals. Amazon has some great prices on the sublime Aquatalia brand weatherproof boots right now.
I bought the casual 'Starry' in black leather and loved them so much I sent a pair to my daughter in Chicago for her winter commutes and city walking.

This morning when the prices dropped on the dressier 'Upstart' (Angie recommended and featured on her blog) I hit the buy button but minutes later decided to cancel because I think the shaft on this will be too narrow for me.

Anyway, there are enough sizes left that I thought I'd give you guys a heads up. This brand runs small and narrow so going up a half size has been my experience and with thicker socks or an insert going up a whole size on these boots wouldn't be off base for some.
