What is it with women and rain boots…?

On June 30, 2009 · 25 Comments
Hello Darlings, Today was a rainy day and it seemed like every girl from the age of 2 to 202 was wearing rubber rain boots. WHY? I just don't understand why people wear rubber rain boots as a fashion statement...even if it is not raining. I am pretty sure that rain boots are becoming the new Uggs, since I've also seen them being worn in the winter time. What is it about rain boots that women love so much?
Today as I was doing some "casual shopping" (shopping without a purpose, except just to buy something) I saw three women arguing over a pair of $150 Juicy Couture rain boots.... Why would 20 year old women argue over a pair of shoes? I meant sure you want them, but come on it is not the end of the world. Not only did I realize how much women love rain boots but also the price tag that designers put on them... Why does rubber cost $150? sure they are "designer" but it's like paying $100 dollar for a rubber duck only because it is designer... CRAZY I would say!!!
SO WHAT IS IT WITH WOMEN AND RAIN BOOTS????
I am not criticizing or passing judgments, I am just strictly curious. I do understand that having wet feet sucks, but there are so many different styles to resort to without having to wear rubber, pink, butterfly boots. I understand if you live out in the country and concurring mud, then rain boots are practical and cute way to do it. But if you're in a city and walking on the side walk, then usually there is no mud to concur. Plus, do you wear your rain boots once you're indoors, lets say in an office building, a coffee shop, a restaurant, a lecture hall, a mall??? or Do you switch foot wear???
I think that the only place that I would wear rain boots is :
♥ waking my dog when it is pouring and muddy, but even then I usually wear leather water-prof running shoes. ♥I am out in the country and mud is unavoidable. ♥At the cottage and out for a walk during of after the rain.
I don't see why grown women wear rubber shoes to walk from a car into a mall.... I just don't get it. But then again I don't understand why people love Uggs. Are rain boots even comfortable to wear???
My rain boots substitute.
As for me, my rain/winter boots are my Michael Kors duck boots ... I love them because they are so uniquely "ugly".... nothing about them is cute or pretty, but I absolutely adore them. I love because they are " ugly", water-proff; warm and comfortable.
It's been raining all day and although I don't quite like the rain, I was excited to take out my duck boots. I wear them every chance I have.... :)
I am wearing: Spring& Clifton V-Neck Cardi; Black Silk Slip underneath; Michael Kors Duck Boots; 14k diamond ring courtesy Ice. com Jewelers. Eeeky... playing in the puddles is not that fun.... :P
Fingers crossed that tomorrow is going to be a beautiful and sunny day.
I wish you all a lovely day!!!
With Love... Marta
