The Perfect Rain Boots

A few days ago, Joanna Goddard, the wonderful writer of A Cup of Jo posted this piece about rain boots. I am the proud owner of one of the pairs of boots she wrote about and want to attest to their greatness!

Here is my pair!

Loeffler Randall LR Rain Bootie, in Black
This is my story. In August I began searching, searching for a good pair of winter boots. My parents reminded me again and again that a good pair of boots was essential for my survival and happiness in New York's colder climate. I searched website upon website searching for a pair of warm, waterproof boots for the upcoming winter. I am known to be particular about clothes and jewelery and I am certainly overparticular about shoes. Settling on a pair of boots without absolutely loving them was just not an option. 

In came Loeffler Randall. When I saw the green lace up LRs I was intrigued. When I saw the black lace ups, I knew that I had found the shoes for me. Although they do not have the 'ultra warm lining' that I originally thought was necessary, they are *waterproof* and functional without being clunky. They are technically rain boots, but waterproof anything works in snow and this pair does a bang-up job of keeping my feet dry. I have a whole sock drawer full of cozy woolies to wear under these babies to keep my toes warm.  Undoubtedly, these have become my very favorite winter shoes. I've spied other winter boots that ladies are walking around the streets in these days and am not envious of their choices. Although our winter has been mild, I have worn my booties almost everyday we have been in New York. Loeffler Randall, you have supplied me with a most excellent and elegant winter essential. Thank you!
