Argh, I just saw these online today, these rainboots are prettier than the ones I ended up buying....I haven't gotten around to try them yet, but they look really nice.

Instead, I bought the Rah Rah Rain Boot by Dirty Laundry, which look like these

They are not bad, but only works well with casual clothes and not good for dressing up Friday night :(. http://www.endless.com/dp/B003TIYGE6/ref=asc_df_B003TIYGE61396424?tag=endlesscj-20&creative=395033&linkCode=asn&creativeASIN=B003TIYGE6 I bought mine for 39.95 through ShoeDazzle's one day sale. They are out of my sizes elsewhere.

The Rain Boots Search

I want a good pair of rain boots to defend me from the endless San Francisco rain. So far it's been a failed search :(. I'd like to find something that looks like real boots but serves as rain boots anyways, something close to the Banana Republic rain boot in the picture. The Banana Republic rain boots are really uncomfortable though, unfortunately. The calves are too small and shoes are too narrow. Too bad :(.

I'm currently looking into this pair http://www.westernchief.com/product_info.php/cPath/83_93/products_id/691 and this pair http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/women/boots/spring-boots/82635973-golka/98

might consider this pair if they get my size in http://www.amazon.com/Chooka-Herringbone-Dual-Buckle-Charcoal/dp/B0025VLGWI/ref=sr_1_30?ie=UTF8&qid=1299650508&sr=8-30

and also might consider getting a pair from Taobao like this one http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=8274504392&ali_refid=a3_420435_1006:1102255123:6:%D3%EA%D1%A5+%C8%D5%B1%BE:e51d81010cbc355756ce014df6e98b64&ali_trackid=1_e51d81010cbc355756ce014df6e98b64 Hmm the possibilities.

I'll post pictures here if I finally find a good pair :).
