Skirts and Giggles

You wouldn’t know it from the weather today, but spring is in the air, and in our part of the world, that means a shit-ton of rain. Which means I want to brag about my spanking new rain boots!

I was tempted by plenty of cute floral designs that didn’t fit me properly before I found these lovelies, which seem to have sprung fully formed from the pages of one of my favourite picture books.

These boots are from Canadian company Kamik, who make a wide variety of boots for all types of weather. Usually, rain boots are tricky because they have no internal support and they rarely fit my heels properly so I end up with terrible blisters and stressed out arches. But these (the Ellie model, if you’re wondering) fit perfectly and are so comfortable that I’ve taken to wearing them even on sunny days “because I heard it might rain later.”

In short, in the wise words of a children’s book: “My red boots take bigger steps. I like my red boots best.”
