My feet will be warm and stylin' this winter with CAT Boots!

If insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results then you can colour me crazy! Every year I swear I will start shopping for winter boots early, inevitably end up waiting until it snows and end up with limited choice so I buy a pair that I don't particularly like and aren't what I wanted out of desperation!

Not this year, there's no snow yet but I  already have a pair of boots in my closet awaiting the soon to be falling white stuff! And strangely from a company that you might not have thought made anything except work boots:

CAT Footwear Carolina Boots - $175 - available in black and brown with full grain leather uppers, regular width and in full and half sizes from 6 to 9.

It's hard to find boots that look cool and are comfortable - usually you have to pick one or the other - but these are both. They also appeal to my inner rocker chick, look great with jeans but equally good with tights and a skirt - and the rubber tread on the bottom makes it much harder for me to fall on my clumsy ass!

And to make sure your feet stay dry all winter, it's important to waterproof new boots - don't bother with the crap that comes in a can and promises to waterproof - just rub them with beeswax and bake them in the oven on low - no more wet feet!

Available at shoe stores across Canada - check out www.catfootwear.com to locate one near you or to order online.

They look adorable with pants and skirts or even on their own at the nudist colony as you see here...
