I guess I won't really be walking through snow, right? I mean, people clear the sidewalks here....
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.
13 inch calf? Dude, I am ms. skinny legs, and I'm 14+.
Jesse, I like these quite a bit: [link]
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.
Yeah, my first priority would be traction, then snow depth, then fashion.
It's not like I don't own boots with traction. But they aren't Snow Boots! I'm scared.
der. Sorry, Jesse, I linked to the wrong ones, the ones I'd like for me. These were the ones I had meant to link to: [link] I considered getting a short pair for Idaho and the Olympics in Feb.
They don't seem too expensive to me Jesse. I would just make sure they have good traction. I have been shopping around for boots a little lately.
My coworker has these and loves them:

I have had good experiences with Hush Puppies in the past, and am considering these:

My other coworker swears by Blondo, as superwarm and superwaterproof:

But I just tried on a pair and didn't find them super comfy. And for $210, I didn't want to have to buy insoles as the salesperson suggested.
But I am hoping my current boots can make it through another winter.
