Boots - A Saga in Themselves

Well I tried at Sears with the Easy Open Boots from Lands End - no luck. I ordered two likely pairs in two sizes from LL Bean. They arrived today. No luck. I have a pair of boots that are really just shoes from LL Bean coming soon. I'm fairly certain they'll work. I hope she does okay without protection for her legs - just her feet. But they beat regular shoes since they are waterproof and have traction. Its not too bad of an alternative. Those should arrive next week. We'll see how it goes. Keeping my fingers crossed no snow this week and next.
