Practical Does Not Mean Ugly

I just received my new rain boots in the mail (thank you Zappos!). They are Kamik's, a Canadian company that makes high quality outdoors boots (or so Art tells me). I needed a pair of rubber boots to knock around in but I didn't want the regular black rubber, I wanted something that had some personality. I had been looking at Coach wellies but couldn't really justify $200, no matter how cute they were. The Kamiks were much more reasonable but still super cute. They are made of PVC (so they won't crack or rot like rubber), fully lined and really comfy (I did have to stretch out the shaft because my calves are far from stickly). The best part is that when they are tattered and can no longer be worn, I can sent them back to Kamik and they will recycle them.
