I know, kind of silly. Here I sit, having been a beach comber girl all of my life, and I have not owned a pair of rubber beach boots - EVER. Until a month ago.
I first saw these in November when I was in Seattle shopping with my daughter in downtown for Black Friday. Really against my shopping credo - not my favorite day for shopping, I don't care what the "deals" are. Honestly, we just went down to Westlake Center and Pike Place Market to do a little people watching, have some lunch and maybe shop for some special seafood gourmet tools at
Sur la table. Tom had put some kind of fancy salmon-boner tool thing on his Christmas list... (more on that "thing" later!)
It wasn't our fault that we just had to walk by Nordstrom's Rack, and well, we didn't want to pass up a good sale, did we? Here's the funny thing - I had flown up on Alaskan Airlines, and had not checked a bag, so wasn't sure how I was going to get them home, so I didn't buy them. (I did take a picture though, so that I could remember what they looked like)
Then about a month ago, I was desperate for a new pair of tennis shoes - and there they were. The Sperry Topsider boots that I had been craving - just waiting for me to take them home from our local Nordstrom Rack! And they were on sale - only $29.95!
Now look at what I can do with my new boots - I can actually climb all over the rocks and get some awesome tidepool photos. Very excited - feel like a little kid when I can splash all over the place and not worry about getting my feet soaked. Or worry about sliding off of the rocks - much bigger danger for me, as I am a total klutz.
Here's a few of my other favorite
Sperry boots - what do you think?
Blue and White Stripes - totally nautical! (looks like these might be on sale too - $49.99)
Grey and Black Cheetah print - for more than just the beach!
Pretty in Pink - Kingbird Rainboot $51.99
Love these bright orange ones!
Nordstrom Rack has several colors, magenta, green, orange, purple -

Do you have a pair of rubber rain boots? There are so many pretty ones available!
