Gotta level with you. As a guy, winter is, by far, the most depressing time of the year. I realize that sounds weird, especially since 'tis the season to be jolly and all, but at this time of the year not even the ghosts of Christmas can lift my spirits. Why am I so glum? Because winter is when women hide underneath bulky jackets and an unfathomable number of layers. Even their shoes ?usually the be all and end all for women save for oh-so-bitter December ?goes from cute flip-flops and sexy heels to galoshes and other god awful plastic boots. Is winter so bad that it's too hard to even make an effort to wear a decent-looking pair of women's waterproof winter boots?
Yes, admittedly, it's the layers and layers of curve-concealing clothing that bums me the most. But it's nothing short of devastating to throw away all pretenses of vanity and style just to stay warm and dry. And you just know things have gone to heck when women's shoes look every bit as worn out and crappy as the average guy's does.
Now I know that it's a lot harder than it sounds ?I'm well aware of how easy it is to lose a toe to the cold out there ?but why can't women just hold on to their vanity even for just a bit so that we men can have a bit more reason to be jolly? I'm no arrogant jackass who thinks women dress only to please men, but really, is the request that unreasonable?
Please, ladies, throw out those god forsaken galoshes and strap on some women's stylish winter boots to remind us all that there are still attractive women beneath all those layers. Because in all seriousness, with all the bulk and without women's stylish winter boots, how are we supposed to tell you apart from the guys?
Fortunately, there are women who make the effort. Although, what some of them do is a bit extreme. I mean, yeah, they look great in women's stylish winter boots and all, though I feel like a complete jerk when I see how my seemingly humble request keeps them cold and puts them at risk of frostbite.
Fact is, there are way too many winter boots that are not warm enough and are not waterproof. So what happens when the wearers get caught in the middle of a snowstorm? Human popsicles, that's what. As much as men hate to see cute girls hide their appeal beneath clothes that look like they came from dad's closet, we'd hate it even more to see the season leave them cold.
Then again, there are women who know exactly what they're doing, going out in the cold wearing the latest in women's waterproof winter boots. Seeing women like those who still care to stay stylish despite the weather is like waking up to see beautifully wrapped presents under the tree on Christmas morning. Naturally, the presents themselves are what really matter, but it looks all the more appealing when they're exquisitely wrapped ?as opposed to being wrapped in old newspapers.
Ladies who sport women's waterproof winter boots, however, not only look great, they feel great too. These boots manage to keep women warm and dry while allowing them to stay smoking hot. It's a wonder, really, why more women don't wear them.
So until that day comes, when more and more women gravitate toward women's waterproof winter boots, us guys will just keep wishing that winter would end sooner than we know it ?so that bikini season, when women could stay hot all season long, could finally get underway.

eh, screw you
Dude, I agree, and I want to be stylish and cute, but I also want to be warm and not fall on my ass. It seems that boot companies that sell in Canada don't have the slightest clue what a winter here is like. No lining, no good tread on the bottom of boots?
I love these cute slouchy boots with buckle details that show we have legs and ankles (unlike the big nasty sorels and god-awful Uggs), and I suppose I can wear super thick socks and leg warmers, if they'll fit, but what about grip? Sidewalks and roads get icy!
So please know it's not for our lack of trying. If the product isn't out there to buy, we can't wear it. I've thought of starting my own company but I wouldn't know where to begin.
Winter boots. I love high heels. High heels last about 2 weeks before the plastic or rubber heel part gets worn down by road salt. Think soles of any kind, you can feel the salt underneath your feet. Leather looks good, but it's never waterproof no matter what they say. If you get salt on them they're finished. You can never get it off fast enough. Waterproof boots are usually plastic with heavy soles and lots of cheap looking faux fur. Most go to the bottom of your calf (the widest part), so if you attempt to wear a skirt, they make your legs look like sausages and they make your feet look huge. If it's -30 C in Canada, I need decent boots, especially since I don't drive. I have a nice coat. It's suede with a quilted lining and a fur collar that goes calves and makes me look slim since it cinches at the waist. Nobody, however, looks good when there's a -40C windchill and they have a toque and scarves around their faces to stave off the windchill. They make 'em, I'll buy em, but they won't. I went through three pairs of winter boots last year alone
When a man is buying my wardrobe I'll start listening to their style advice. But as long as I'm making 85 cents to your dollar it's in one ear and out the other.
