  1 0 I find that the ankle-high Xtra Tufs work pretty well and aren't particularly hideous-looking: When I was in Alaska in July, everyone was wearing either these or the full-height boot version. Fisheries Supply is right across the street from Gasworks Park - they have them in abundance. Bill Nordwall answered in Style & Beauty over 2 years ago | Report 2 comments by Sam and Callie Bishop… 0 0 Cute rubber rain boots can be found at The Sneakery on 65th in Ballard. Their kids boots leak after less than a year of adult daily wear. Lands End has really good boots too. Kids rain boots are $15 online there - a kids size 7 is about a women's 9. And they have snow boots too. Sam commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Thanks! I thought about the Sneakery but I didn't want to go all the way over there if they didn't have anything.

  1 0 I haven't seen a lot of rain boots in stores around here lately. Nordstrom and Macy's both carry some cute galoshes, but I think they tend to appear in the fall and spring more than winter. Have you tried endless.com ? I just did a quick search for rain boots and they appear to have quite the selection. I've ordered from them before with good results - it's free overnight shipping and free returns. I think they are an offshoot of amazon. e.strange answered in Style & Beauty over 2 years ago | Report 2 comments by e.strange and e.strange… 0 0 PS - I was walking past Urban Outfitters today and I saw that they have some cute ones, although I'm not sure about the quality. e.strange commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Okay, I found one more option. This one is kind of a cross between a snow boot and a rain boot, and I think it's kind of cute, not to mention 50% off: http://www.aerosoles.com/product1.asp?P=DECADE e.strange commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 Fred Meyer. I saw them at the Lake City location on Sunday. Galoshes are terrible for snow. (Dear British snobs, Wellingtons don't exist in America.) They are for wet weather, if you're going to be tromping around in snow, get snow boots; ugly, utilitarian snow boots. dwight moody answered in Style & Beauty over 2 years ago | Report 5 comments by Callie Bishop, dwight moody, and e.strange… 0 0 When you say "galoshes are terrible for snow" are you talking about the actual galoshes that the commenter below corrected me about? I'm actually just looking for rubber boots. I thought galoshes was another term for them. Callie Bishop commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 I'm talking about rubber boots. They're uninsulated and the open top allows snow to get inside, where it melts and makes you very uncomfortable. They work great for keeping your feet dry in rainstorms though, because rain doesn't drift around like snow. Given how little it actually snows in Seattle, winter boots are a luxury purchase, you hardly ever need them. If you're heading into the mountains for outdoor recreation they'll definitely come in handy. dwight moody commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 I have a pair of knee-high rubber rain boots that are made for wet weather and I find they work great in the snow as long as you're not going to the mountains or something. I wore them throughout Snowpocalypse 2009 and was SO GLAD I had them. They are completely waterproof and have excellent traction. I bought them a half-size too big so I can wear them with extra socks for added warmth. e.strange commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 That's exactly what I was imagining, e.strange. All last year I was totally miserable. There were no rubber boots on capitol hill and, because of the snow that was making me miserable, traveling to get some wasn't really a viable option. I'm trying to be prepared this year. Callie Bishop commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Callie, I think you'll be happy with rain boots for occasional snow as long as you get the right ones. Mine have hiking-boot style traction, which is why they were so great in the snow last year. I have noticed that some rain boots have traction that's more like old-school Keds, so watch out. e.strange commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 I was recently at DSW and noticed the ladies' section had a big selection of rubber boots. The downside is you have to go to Northgate Mall. http://maps.google.com/maps/place?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=dsw&fb=1&gl=us&hq=dsw&hnear=Seattle,+WA&cid=8430309066519682457&ei=4y8pS-flD4TysQOd1LW4DA&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CCoQnQIwBA Joe G answered in Style & Beauty over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by Callie Bishop… 0 0 No - that's perfect.

  1 1 You mean wellies? Galoshes are those weird rubber slippers that go over your regular shoes. Wellington boots are what you're looking for. Let me know if you find any mens size 11.5 ones with with the little frog eyes. I'm a giant child. Super Jesse answered in Style & Beauty over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by Fnarf… 0 0 Yes, and those weird rubbers that slip on over your shoes are the best way to go, because when you get inside you can take them off and leave them dripping by the door instead of tramping them all over the carpet, but without going barefoot either. Besides, they're very stylish.

  0 0 If you have small feet, you can buy them in any childrens' shoe department - they always have snow boots and rainboots for kids. That's where I get all mine, but you have to have (women's) size 6 or smaller feet.

  0 0 It's true that they're terrible for snow. Most have little or no traction, and they're cold. If you insist on traipsing about in them when it's freezing, invest in some knee-high wool socks.

  0 0 I second Target. Saw some cute ones there for about $25. I got mine at Salvation Army and they are even cuter but was probably an isolated incident. Oh, and, there will be no Snowpocalypse 2010. So don't worry.

  0 0 I got mine at target.com for $25. I also picked up a pair of fancier Tommy Hilfiger rain boots for my mom last week at Macy's. They were closer to $40. irongal answered in Style & Beauty over 2 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.
