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'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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.

Ah, thanks. Again too narrow, calf-wise, though. I need to go to DSW.
