As many of you have probably heard, California is suffering through an epic drought at the moment. But the weather folks keep promising that this winter should be a giant El Nino season (i.e. tons of rain). When I saw that these rainboots were on a price-matched sale at Nordstrom, I figured I'd order and give them a try. I've got a pair of rainboots with a taller shaft, but I think a shorter pair would be useful for quick on and off as well. I was briefly tempted by the leopard print but went for the oh-so-trendy sangria instead. Maybe this will encourage the rain to come?
