If you're walking through slush and cold puddles, I'd go for the Wellies. Love them, Jesse.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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: [link]
I have had good experiences with Hush Puppies in the past, and am considering these: [link]
My other coworker swears by Blondo, as superwarm and superwaterproof: [link]
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.

I can't work with patterns on boots, I'm sorry.

I have to admit, rubber boots for winter freak me out a bit. I can't help thinking of wearing regular rubber boots in winter which are always cold and slippery. But they would be superwaterproof, which is vital here is slushland.
