Now the sad end of my previous pair of walmart rainboots (in which the plastic started to crack and by June my rainboots were leaking rain from the top of the shoe - this is a significant change from my pair two pairs back, which had a hole worn in the sole during the harshest and coldest winter Vancouver had ever seen and I was forced to walk around in a pool of ice cold slush water in my boot for the rest of the day at school), has convinced me that cheap rainboots are not the way to go.
So. I decided to look into Hunter rainboots, because of their fitted shape and durability. The problem with Hunters is that a) they are very pricey and b) they do not have a single colour I like in stores and I refuse to buy black rainboots. Black rainboots may look classy but when it's wet and dreary in Vancouver, I prefer to stomp out in bright colourful rainboots to combat the lack of colour in the world.
And then there are the Brits, who possibly have the most extensive and most adorable collection of rainboots in the world which they refuse to share with the rest of us.
Google has led me to discover this ridiculously adorable line of rainboots by Hunter for the Royal Horticulture Society that is neither sold nor shipped to any place in North America. Look at these beauties:
While I am in love with all of them, the one of the far right is my favourite, followed by the black and white pair and the pastel blue.
I have decided to move to the UK just to take advantage of their collection of wellies (and I'm actually not kidding that much, since I am now considering on doing a term next fall at the University of Edinburgh).
If anyone knows where these wellies may be purchased/shipped to Canada, please inform me and I will love you forever.
The rainboot search continues!
