For the longest of time, I’ve been on the great hunt for the perfect rainboots. You know the ones that are not only astatically appealing to the eye but also won’t bunch around your ankles when you walk. The latter part of the statement being the hard part. Since I do a lot of spin classes and hiking, I’ve got muscular calves-which is a problem in high fashion, why? Because I don’t have pipe cleaners for legs and even though it looks great on Mary-Kate, Misha, Nicole, Paris, and (insert celebrity name here) it doesn’t work on me when I try to rock the same fashions. In fact, it looks quite horrid. So instead of crying my eyes out due to my lack of pipe cleaner-ness…. I work around it.

Rainboots are wonderful, especially in the uh rain. And every time I try on a pair at some swank department store, thinking it’s a better quality it should fit better, I get  bunching at the ankles (and it’s tight at the calves) due to the whole lack of pipe cleaner legs. So it took me about a year and I should kick myself for not thinking of this sooner but I swung by Target (or as we shi-shi ladies call it “Tar-jay”) and found the cutest and well fitting rainboots…. My pick were the navy anchor rainboots and even though the site recommended sizing down, I stayed with my true size knowing that I would tuck my jeans in or wear socks so I wanted a  touch more room for my toesies.

Each time I strut my stuff in the rain with my cute boots, there’s not a single ‘sole’ who doesn’t think they are the cat’s meow… or the sailors ahoy or whatever sailors do. And as an added bonus, I didn’t have to break the piggy bank on them.

The rubber boots also come in a wide array of colors and prints…
