temporary switch from sneaks to boots

[cimorene]

Hi fleeps and dweeps! Fall is in the air: in my climate, time to make sure you have some shoes warmer (and more waterproof) than sneakers around before it starts snowing. So for the next little while I will be posting fall and winter boots instead of sneakers daily. It's not permanent, or anything. Probably I'll get bored after a while and start mixing sneakers in. We'll see.

Shoe consultant reminder! Got a shoe quest in mind? Need help navigating the ropes of shoe-shopping on the Internet? Drop me a comment and I'll happily spend some of my weekly shoe-store-browsing time budget on you instead of, uh, just aimlessly like usual, haha. Just because I'm sort of philosophically opposed to heels doesn't mean I don't look at them, save pictures of them and occasionally admire them. (It does mean I don't wear them and probably can't talk about their comfort or fit though.)

All of these are really nice, but I particularly like the first ones, aesthetically speaking. I'll have to investigate how much duty would be bringing them into Canada.

For the record, my usage scenario is that I'm walking 1.6km to work every weekday and by all accounts it rains a lot here. I wear jeans to work. And am vegetarian.

I bow before you, shoe consultant.

Ahhh, yes. Well, then you don't want, say, rain galoshes, but boots are OK as long as they're not uncomfortable. Gotcha.

Also! Duty may not be necessary. Simple is a pretty big brand, so you might be able to find a Canadian retail outlet.
