When it comes to winter boots, they’re not all that hard to find if all you want is warm feet.  However, this past weekend, in the midst of that record breaking blizzard, it occured to me that warmth is important, but dryness is key.  When blizzard conditions hit, you don’t just want something fleecy and cozy– you want something made to shield you from the elements.

It’s not as if I was out in the driveway for hours shoveling the car out or had to traipse through the field into town to stock up on provisions.  I was just hanging out in my house reading and drinking tea.  But still, I know of other people that had to do those things and it seemed like they’d be better off had they been wearing the Sorel Caribou.  It’s warm.  It’s waterproof, and until I saw these, I felt like no winter boots were cute.  These make me WANT to shovel the walk!
