there’s not much that could make me wish for rain in a city like portland.  but leave it to loeffler randall to manage it!

i can not get over how much i love these sweet little rain boots loeffler randall debuted today!  the tall boot, a rubber version of their now-famous matilde boot, is my clear favorite – that back zipper detail is just beyond.  but the short version is perfect if you like a bit of edge in your style.  best of all, you could so easily pull either these off as an all-day shoe…so no more toting heels in your handbag on rainy days.

they’re not quite a bargain, at $198 and $168, but when you remember that the original matilde runs about $700 these days, it’s a drop in the bucket that’s definitely worth your rainy day savings.   if you’re so inclined, i suggest you splurge while you can…no question, these will be sold out long before the first winter storm descends.

now, to work on convincing myself that my overworked hunter boots deserve a break!
