I also got fleece bootsocks for them, and down-filled puffy bootsocks as well - so they take me through early, early spring right into early winter; the only thing they can't handle is prolonged outings in proper snow. Super-versatile and well worth the money - especially if Costco has a good deal on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guide-dog-school-capsule-phase-3-refusing-to-be-plain-in-the-rain#post-2027675 Thu, 16 May 2019 14:58:00 +0000 greycat6 2027675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo what others have said about how miserable uncomfortable rain boots can be because there is no forgiveness in the fit. Don’t go there! </p> <p>Here is a link to the Hunter short play boot in light gray. This is a pull on boot with a 6” high shaft. The sole has a 1” platform. The Bay web site also has this style in yellow and pink with limited sizes available. </p> <p>Eta: Nordstrom web site says the short play has a 1.5” heel and a 0.75” platform. There are five colors available on Nordstrom web site: black, yellow, pink, orange’ish red, gray. Hope this helps. Good luck! </p> <p><a href="https://m.thebay.com/hunter-original-short-play-boots/product/0600090676120?R=5054916381321&#038;P_name=Hunter&#038;Ntt=women+hunter+boots&#038;N=0&#038;pdp=1" rel="nofollow">https://m.thebay.com/hunter-or.....#038;pdp=1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guide-dog-school-capsule-phase-3-refusing-to-be-plain-in-the-rain#post-2027642 Thu, 16 May 2019 13:27:13 +0000 Angie 2027642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for short Hunters.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guide-dog-school-capsule-phase-3-refusing-to-be-plain-in-the-rain#post-2027628 Thu, 16 May 2019 13:18:20 +0000 KikiG 2027628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please don't cheap out with rain shoes.&nbsp; Years ago, I really messed up my feet with some L.L. Bean-like slip on rain moccasins that also happened to be trendy and fashionable, so I wore them frequently.&nbsp; It took multiple years of not wearing them for my feet to slowly recover.&nbsp; The Hunter brand is pricey, but classic and will last for years.&nbsp; I understand that Ugg makes wool insoles that make them warm in the winter, but vent in the summer.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>As an alternative, you may wish to look for a shoe or bootie that has Gortex.&nbsp; My husband has Ecco brand Gortex lace up short boots and they are wonderful in bad weather.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guide-dog-school-capsule-phase-3-refusing-to-be-plain-in-the-rain#post-2027552 Thu, 16 May 2019 04:42:32 +0000 Michelle 2027552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glory, I'd certainly consider it!

I worry about my feet getting and staying wet and developing blisters because these are not likely to “breathe”. Once your feet get wet, you may be stuck with soggy socks the rest of the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guide-dog-school-capsule-phase-3-refusing-to-be-plain-in-the-rain#post-2027534 Thu, 16 May 2019 01:51:17 +0000 Anonymous 2027534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have been busy. The rain boots are pull on with some elastic inserts on the sides. White lug sole with a bit of a wedge heel. The mist color is a shiny light grey. The blossom is a floral print on a pinkish grey background. There are pinkish lavender lilac flowers with blue-green leaves interspersed with the outline in white daisy- like flower and black or dark brown leaf or twigs. The design screams spring so they would look odd at other times of the year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guide-dog-school-capsule-phase-3-refusing-to-be-plain-in-the-rain#post-2027407 Wed, 15 May 2019 12:39:51 +0000 Anonymous 2027407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blossom is a cherry blossom type floral print on a cool toned shiny lavendar background. The stems are burgundy and flowers are teal, pink, white. The soles are white with stripes of taupe and cognac-with a low wedge. They're pretty! I like those the most of the colors. They look like something Bijou would wear :)</p> <p>Mist has same sole but is cool toned medium grey. In contrast, dove has same sole but is more of a light taupe. Walnut is dark taupe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guide-dog-school-capsule-phase-3-refusing-to-be-plain-in-the-rain#post-2027397 Wed, 15 May 2019 11:44:47 +0000 April 2027397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, my question is whether you've had good fit experiences with the brand?&nbsp; Rain boots don't stretch at all, so if they press in on your feet it will not be a comfortable walk.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I actually find that both my tall and low rain boots often feel best (briefly) with no socks, so that they're not squeezing my feet.&nbsp; Bare feet inside wouldn't work for a long walk because rain boots also don't breathe, but for a quick trip to the bird feeder it works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guide-dog-school-capsule-phase-3-refusing-to-be-plain-in-the-rain#post-2027388 Wed, 15 May 2019 11:18:52 +0000 Jessikams 2027388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think rain outfits are aaaaaallllll about the shoes. They must be waterproof AND not slippery! My big complaint about gum boots is that the sole often feels very slippery on pavement. I prefer a hiking style boot or just a leather Converse sneaker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guide-dog-school-capsule-phase-3-refusing-to-be-plain-in-the-rain#post-2027384 Wed, 15 May 2019 11:03:24 +0000 Style Fan 2027384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice looking boots.&nbsp; The blossom is a soft tasteful floral with a violet gray background.&nbsp; I do notice that the reviews are not great on these boots.&nbsp; I bought an inexpensive pair of rain boots from Marks Work Warehouse a few years ago.&nbsp; They have a website and I am pretty sure they deliver.&nbsp; I noticed a few weeks ago they had ankle style boots in their store.</p> <p>I am computer challenged or I would link some for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guide-dog-school-capsule-phase-3-refusing-to-be-plain-in-the-rain#post-2027347 Wed, 15 May 2019 06:10:08 +0000 Jenni NZ 2027347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful boots! And a good price. Is them being ankle rain boots OK? I would call Mist a soft dove grey, quite pale, and blossom a soft almost blush floral. All the colours are nice, you could think about what other clothes you would wear them with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guide-dog-school-capsule-phase-3-refusing-to-be-plain-in-the-rain#post-2027337 Wed, 15 May 2019 04:20:20 +0000 Sal 2027337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The rain boots are shiny and smart.&nbsp; They have a white lug sole - which might get muddy.</p> <p>I like the black, charcoal and mist colours the best.&nbsp; I do like the boots a lot.</p> <p>Dove grey looks a warmer grey to the mist.</p> <p>The blossom to me is similar to what Barbara Diane wrote above.&nbsp; Pretty but hard to match with many winter looks - but maybe with rain boots that does not matter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guide-dog-school-capsule-phase-3-refusing-to-be-plain-in-the-rain#post-2027333 Wed, 15 May 2019 04:09:13 +0000 Barbara Diane 2027333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard for me to tell about blossom but maybe a grayed violet background, pink flowers, light pink? white? flowers, brown stems, teal leaves.</p> <p>Someone else please chime in with a better description of blossom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guide-dog-school-capsule-phase-3-refusing-to-be-plain-in-the-rain#post-2027329 Wed, 15 May 2019 04:01:03 +0000 Barbara Diane 2027329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On my screen mist looks like between a light and a medium gray.

Yes, I know I haven't showed pics yet - I will have to get friends to do these over time, or else have someone come in and just take a whack of shots or something...But trust me, you've all helped! I now have white Sas sneaks that are insanely comfortable, and I love the bronze Emiline loafers y'all persuaded me to try (I just got them today and plan to road-test them stat). I've also found some fun new tops and cropped pants to spruce up my wardrobe, but there is one major area I have left unaddressed. Rain gear. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>You see, we work in all weathers at guide dog school, and if it's bucketing rain on a day when we have a long solo walk planned, well that's just too bad. :. So I think what I really need is a polished rain-appropriate topper that's packable and can be kept in my handbag. I know nice versions of such things exist. I'll be scoping out a warehouse sale next week, but in the meantime, Any tips on where some can be found at Canadian retailers?</div><div><br /></div><div>The other thing I will need, obviously, is rain-appropriate footwear. I do not want to break the bank on these. I do not want them to be tall, because I'd rather leave my myriad calf-fit issues out of the equation. <br /></div><div> </div><div>I did just come across these, but don't have much sense of what they look like. Are they awful or viable? And what on earth are colours like "blossom" and "mist" supposed to be?</div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thebay.com/cougar-kensington-rain-boots/product/0600088595261?R=627381216082&amp;P_name=Cougar&amp;Ntt=rain+boot&amp;N=0">https://www.thebay.com/cougar-.....38;P_name=</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you so much.
