Help me decide (on winter boots)

So yeah, this is kind of lame but whateves.

My sister likes these shoes

, and I think they're okay but I also like these (more, actually);

.

Or should I get these because they're cheap (for columbia, I guess), and also the nicer (looking) brown ones? I walk a lot because the bus system scares me still, but also I'd like some shoes I can wear in the winter that don't look lame.
Also, I wear a black pea coat a lot, so would it look terrible to wear the first shoes with it (I'm thinking yes)? Or does it not matter when they're half covered in snow, anyway?

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 7:07pm

Oh, there is an extra r in there. I guess it's to make it fit in with the three letters per line thing.

Also, why do you hate me?

lolz

marblecargirl on Dec 18 '08 at 7:09pm

i like the second ones!

marblecargirl on Dec 18 '08 at 7:09pm

also, i am really bad at paying attention to if things match =\

radiostaticstar on Dec 18 '08 at 7:12pm

the first one is "serious business" boot.

the second one is a "day to night, check me out" boot.

this reminds me,

i need to dig mine out as my toeses has frozes in my canvas slip-ons...

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 7:13pm

Haha... I guess I don't care terribly much if my stuff matches, but I have nothing else to do for three weeks but worry about what shoes I'm getting, and packing for college again already.

Also I am sort of self-conscious about my footwear not matching my other clotheszes.

Also, yeah, I like the second pair too.

I'm wondering if my dad would mind buying me... TWO PAIRS of shoes, ah ah ahhh.

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 7:15pm

haha, radio.

I need a pair of boots that will enable me to trudge up a hill every day, and walk around without getting frostbite. Also, maybe not look like a man-girl. That's a plus.

marblecargirl on Dec 18 '08 at 7:15pm

TWO PAIRS FTW!

chelly on Dec 18 '08 at 7:16pm

black and brown matches fine

i'd go w/ the first shoe because they'll keep your feet warmer and don't look like they require any waterproofing

the third shoe looks like a lot of hard work

the second shoe is more feminine

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 7:16pm

Are these terribly ugly?

I generally have to get men-shoes because my feets be huge.

Also wimmin shoez are all for riding in carriages and being carried over thresholds and stuff.

chelly on Dec 18 '08 at 7:17pm

you can make the first boot look more girlie by swapping out the laces w/ something colorful

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 7:19pm

The second shoe is the only woman's shoe, and thusly I am drawn to it because of the rarity of me finding woman's shoes in my size.

My sis basically said, yeah the second ones look cool, but they might go out of style (not that I'm terribly concerned with that, except I probably won't get new boots for a long time after this). The first boots look well-built but might make my feet sweaty... which is better than frost-bitey.

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 7:20pm

Oh, awesome idea chelly! I kind of love colored shoe laces anyway.

Also I'll probably try to wear my jeans/other pants over them most of the time, anyway.

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 7:20pm

Anyways: 2

me and grammar: 0

iPear on Dec 18 '08 at 7:21pm

I don't hate you! don't you lie to yourself, star child!

chelly on Dec 18 '08 at 7:22pm

i don't think the womanboots are good for actual winter activities, honestly

amaliaslash on Dec 18 '08 at 7:23pm

I really like how the second ones look...do you have a link? HA my dad just offered to buy me some too and it's been hard to find winter boots that aren't butt-ugly. I tend to wear my Doc Martens but he's feeling generous and they take forever to lace up.

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 7:23pm

wut

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 7:24pm

Here you go, Amalia!

My dad sort of is being the same way. I think it's the guilt. hehe

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 7:26pm

Also, same here. I don't like Uggs/any permutations thereof, and that's what most woman's boots are nowadays because they're wildly popular for some reason.

chelly- yeah... At least these have a decent-looking sole, but I wouldn't want to get just these and have a pair of boots that don't work for walking in the snow or over ice or something.

d3d on Dec 18 '08 at 7:28pm

i like the second pair, the dark brown. the others look like what everyone wore every day in the 90s if they didn't own Docs.

amaliaslash on Dec 18 '08 at 7:28pm

Uggs kill me and I doubt they would hold up well in deep snow. I wouldn't know, though, because I never plan on owning them on account of how ugly they are!

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 7:30pm

Haha. I wore light-up LA Gear shoes, I think. In addition to other stuff. I was pretty young there for a while.

marblecargirl on Dec 18 '08 at 7:31pm

i think someone should invent light-up Uggs

amaliaslash on Dec 18 '08 at 7:31pm

I like how these are cut, and they claim they are waterproof so they'd be cool for winter, but they just look so measly in comparison. I really need black stylin' winter boots, though...

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 7:32pm

THANK YOU!

One of my three roommates just had to get a pair of them, and now I can't Ugg-bash as much as I would like before making sure she's not lurking somewhere where she could hear me. I already made fun of her boob-length jacket-shirt thing when she was like 15 feet away, on accident. like this, but worse because she's not a tiny Asian.

Okay so are the black ones a no-go? I guess if the consensus is that black coat + brown shoes doesn't look horrible I won't worry too much.

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 7:37pm

I also considered

these, but like the second pair in the opening post more.

amaliaslash on Dec 18 '08 at 7:38pm

Brown and black are FINE together.

marblecargirl on Dec 18 '08 at 7:39pm

oui? o no?

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 7:40pm

These are awesome, but probably useless in the winter.

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 7:41pm

Those look okay, Aubs, but I wear 12s, haha!

amaliaslash on Dec 18 '08 at 8:15pm

Oooh, link to the last pair? (I have 5 boot tabs open and this could be my 6th.)

amaliaslash on Dec 18 '08 at 8:21pm

HI CHRIS!

A girl needs boots sometimes.

mlnewco on Dec 18 '08 at 9:14pm

mlnewco on Dec 18 '08 at 9:15pm

or these

Krimson on Dec 18 '08 at 9:23pm

Rocket boots are the only way to go.

Nocti.luca on Dec 18 '08 at 10:13pm

I bought these... before they went on sale.

boots

Nocti.luca on Dec 18 '08 at 10:16pm

If you have a black coat, I'd go with either black boots or a camel colour or a light shade of brown.

[+duracell-] on Dec 18 '08 at 10:18pm

Girls don't seem to understand that while they may think these types of boots are "cute", guys think they are horrendous. They are called Uggs for a reason. Hopefully you don't care.

cassiepaige on Dec 18 '08 at 10:20pm

I prefer boot #1.

hanzabean on Dec 18 '08 at 11:29pm

Duracell- I'm never getting Uggs, so... no, I don't care. I think they are horrendous, too.

However, the white Yeti boots are pretty sweet.

hanzabean on Dec 20 '08 at 3:14am

Okay so I found the first pair of boots for cheaperz on another site, and they black as well as brown. So... black or brown? aagh.

Mosquito88 on Dec 20 '08 at 3:32am

did you say.. winter boobs?

coffeecandle on Dec 20 '08 at 3:33am

I like these a lot, not so much the other ones.

hanzabean on Dec 20 '08 at 3:36am

Yeah, the "Jaci" ones are pretty awesome, but I walk a couple of miles a day and I need shoes that are going to last/keep my feet not frozen when I'm going to class or walking around campus because I have nothing better to do.

Maybe I'll get my mom to buy me those... hehe.
