I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They seem pricey for wellies, but I suppose that's the shearling part of it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The thought was I would change at work, yes. I have no idea what I need! Maybe I will continue to wait and see. I looked at Lord and Taylor the other day, and the only leather ones that seemed like they had appropriate traction were $250. I guess I won't really be walking through snow, right? I mean, people clear the sidewalks here....

Keen, Merrell, Teva all make leather boots now.

You sound like you're doing a lot of walking. There's walking before the snow gets cleared, on packed snow, through the drifts--there are all sorts of places traction is good.. Then there's mushy and icy to consider.

Now tagless for your comfort.

If you're walking through slush and cold puddles, I'd go for the Wellies. Love them, Jesse.

Kat and flea, both of those look slick on the bottom -- I think ice and slippery is my real worry. And I'm imagining getting the one job I interviewed for (cart, horse, I know), which would mean walking up and down a decent hill, including a bridge.

I feel like I need snow boots.

I bought mine at 6pm.com.
