these boots were made for...

My winter goal: find practical snow boots (to wear in a muddy backyard and shoveling the driveway). Success. Times two.

I bought these Duck Boots at DSW. Sporto Kim Boot in Pink is waterproof and lined to keep my feet toasty and dry. I'm not sure how good the traction will be, but they will be great for when it's wet out. Waterproof, rubber and coated fabric upper. Lined with synthetic fur. 6" Shaft height, pull on. 10 ½" Calf circumference. ½" Heel. Rubber sole. $59.95

The description for the Totes Rhonda Boot says this boot is perfect for shoveling snow. Get the job done and keep your toes dry, which is exactly what I need. Soft synthetic upper with stitch details. Upfront lacing. Soft fuzzy lining. 8” shaft height, inside zipper. 16” calf circumference. 1½” rubber heel. $44.95
