Half way through last year we decided to move home, as were we lived was very rough so when my brother in law asked us if we would rent his house in a quiet area, we jumped at the chance, we moved into his house on 1st December 2008. This meant that the kids had about 10 miles to travel to school, and although this wasn't a problem, it is time consuming. altogether it takes 4 hours to get t...

My daughter knew I really wanted a pair of Ugg boots but they were just not in my budget. Last Christmas, she got me the next best thing and that was a pair of Bearpaw boots . Bearpaws are basically the poor man's Uggs. They come in different styles and colors and they are made of suede and lined with sheepskin just like Uggs are.The pair she gave me is from the classic collection and ...

I have had these winter boots for over a year. I needed something warm to work outside in the snow, something sturdy and not too heavy / bulky. These Herman Survivor boots fit the bill. I also liked the pull-on design - no strings or zippers, just pull the boots on and go. The boots turned out to be very warm, excellent for cold winter. I only use them in the coldest weather - otherwise, my ...

This is not the prettiest pair of boots, and not the lightest one, either. However, when it comes to safety, it is one of the best. We are required to wear safety boots at work, with steel toe protection in case a heavy piece of machinery decides to fall right on your foot. The store had several types of safety boots available, and the company would reimburse us up to $100 for them. I picked Ca...

I love boots so when I saw these boots at the ALDO Outlet, I just had to have them! It didn't hurt that they were on sale, marked down from $150 to $59.99 either. They had one left, and it was in my size. These boots are made of soft black leather and has a bit of shine to it (but NOT like patent leather). The toe of the boots is the rounded toe style that was popular last fall. The heel of...

I am not much of a hiker, but we have nice walking trails at a state park close to where we live, which my wife and I use once in a while. For those occasions, I have a pair of Ozark Trail High-Top hiking boots. They are comfortable for walking, well-fitting, with durable rubber outsoles and padded tops. I especially appreciate the latter; some high-top boots have these hard tops that can rub y...

We have a HUGE Swap meet here in town every Sunday during the spring and summer months. There are all kinds of vendors, and you can find some really good deals on just about anything you can think of. My husband found these Establo Boots. I am not familiar with the brand. All I know is that my father in law bought a similar pair (different brand) for $200 dollars so we were thrilled that my h...

My daughter received a pair of Carter's rain boots from her aunt for Christmas.  She absolutely loves them!  They are bright and colorful and very girlie.  She even wants to wear them in the heat of the summer when it isn't raining and when it's 90 degrees outside. These boots are cute, but very functional as well.  They have little loops on the tops that can be ...

I am not a winter person, by nature. I live through the winter by, pretending it is not really cold and icy outside. This winter, I needed some boots to wear, so I wouldn't turn my good shoes into crap, from trying to clear out the driveway, so the cars could get in and out.I did not want anything too expensive. I wanted a good pair of winter boots that would do the trick.I got a pair of C9...

We have two young boys, and their snow boots need to be durable, easy to put on and off, durable, and--did I mention, um, DURABLE?  The Land's End Kid's Snow Flurry Boots use a velcro closure that allows the children to slide their boot in and then close the boot, making it snow-tight even for toddlers.  Our children have used these boots since they were two years old, and eve...

Talk about comfort and warmth.  Try these, the ARIZONA 'Yukon' Suede Ankle Boot at a set price of $60 and on sale for $19.99.  During those cold, winter months I love my feet to be enclosed by these little wonders.  They are so warm and I really like the way the look.  When you walk in them they are so comfortable. Be sure to see if you like them just as much as I do...

Last winter (2007/8) my old winter boots were worn out and uncomfortable. Since I am a cheapo, I had bought them at one of those pay for less places. Anyway, I decided that this time I would buy a boot that would last a long time even if they were expensive.So I went through the stores looking fror a pair of boots that had an even heel (nothing high because of my dizziness caused by medications...

I must admit I used to laugh when I heard of anyone doing a Billy Blanks workout. I was much younger and thinner when the Tae Bo series was released.After many years and many pounds, I decided to give Billy's Boot Camp a try. I liked the idea of being in a team enviornment without leaving the comfort of my living room. I am also an Army veteran so the boot camp theme really appealed to ...

I have gotten boots from Aerosoles in the past, but these are the first pair that I have a love/hate relationship with.  They are comfortable, the leather upper is fairly fine quality and the stitching is pretty neat.  But the soles are a different story. The description states "-1" stacked heel and flexible rubber sole."  The rubber sole does not have enough tract...

About most everyone have heard of Ugg. They are a famous brand of leather boots originated from Australia. It took me awhile to finally buy them because the price is pretty pricey and I want to make sure it will be a good investment. I had to search three malls before I could find the right size for me. I bought the UGG® Australia Ultimate Short Boot (Women). It was the last one they had so...

I recently purchased the Alpinestars SMX Gore-Tex Boot for a ride across the California coastal highway. These were my first pair of sport boots, and they are very reliable. I’ve rode up to four hours using these boots and they remain comfortable. They are not very heavy, and they have a very nice amount of padding. In terms of style these boots are very cool looking, they are black and...

I purchased these boots a week ago for motor sport racing, they are very good looking. They are very comfortable and they have exceptionally good looks, and looks aren’t just skin deep. These boots perform with the best of them, these boots are very supportive and they provide excellent heel support for long races. The amount of padding in these boots is great and I really think the man...

I tried these MSR Hi-Point Boots recently at my local Kawasaki dealer ship, I was really impressed with the styling and the quality and I really liked these boots. The boots seem great for all around riding, they are not advertised as being water proof so I have not driven these in water, but they seem sturdy so I assume they could handle a little rain. The styling is very good looking, both ...

Years ago, I purchased a Shawnee "Puss & Boots" cat cookie jar at an estate sale. It was my first piece of Shawnee Pottery and the beginning of a quest to find other pieces of the set. The cookie jar was made in the late 1940s. Later, I purchased a "Puss & Boots" creamer and salt & pepper to match the cookie jar. All of the pottery pieces are very well made ...
