Winter Boot Dilemma

Life is not fair.

Or, at least, life is not fair when you're a thrifty shopper who makes a point to never buy anything at full retail.

Three times this season I've struck out on winter boots because I failed to act quickly. In my defense, however, I've never seen cold weather boots sell out this fast in my life. Perhaps because this season's styles are far cuter than what we've seen the past few winters.

If anyone sees any of the following boots around town over the next 48 hours in a size 9 or 9.5, call me immediately. You will be rewarded for your efforts if boots are obtained. All styles are available in other color schemes, but I kind of have a black/gray thing going on with the rest of my winter outerwear so I'm pretty firm on these colors.

Sorel Tivoli in black/white:

Sorel Torino in oyster/wild orchid:

Sporto Kim in black/white plaid:

All boots are faux fur-lined, waterproof and contain no leather whatsoever. Of course.

I am, of course, leaning towards the purple and black ones in the middle. It seems they're the hardest to find in any size.

I think I saw all these styles at the walking store at the MOA on the first floor! Not sure of the name of the store off hand but it's past H&M just a bit! Worth a looksy.

Alas, Zappos, in all their overnight delivery glory, does not have my size :(

GF reader Scott just left me a message-- he's got a hot line on some Torinos at Rosedale Herberger's. I'm gonna investigate!

You could always get them off of ebay. One of the main stores is right out of Chippewa Falls, WI.

Great picks! I love love love the first 2 (esp. the purple/black). Now I want some - I'm a 9.5, so let me know if you do find them.

I thought Columbia at MOA was selling Sorels this year...were they out?

The second ones shown are the ones from Herbergers right? I thought they looked great on you! Sorry i didnt have time to catch up, work, work, work!
