I purchased my first (ever) rain boots last year. It's a pair of ordinary tall black rain boots that I got for $20. It's good; but they're heavy and get uncomfortable when I walk more than a mile. So I thought of getting a pair of Crocs rain boots. I got a blue one. They cost around 40-bucks. They're good when walking short distances. Then again, I learned the very hard and painful way that you can never walk far (I am talking about walking around five miles here) with a pair of Crocs rain boots. My feet felt like they're going to die on me. So when I was released from work early, I ran-- no, I did not; I took a bus-- to Tani and tried on their rain boots. I have seen people wearing a pair of Hunter boots, so I tried a pair on. They're good except it's a little down on comfort (at least for me). I tried a pair of Aigle ('EAGLE' in English and pronounced 'Eh-gleu') and fell in love with it. I am a size 7.5 but with Hunter, I have to get an 8, which is way too big (it's the same with Crocs; my first rain boots were an 8, too). With Aigle, I got 7 and my feet, still, have some more space to wiggle inside (anticipating winter and thick socks). And so there I was, with eyes firmly shut, I paid for my first pair of Aigle boots. I got the Bison in Khaki (Olive Green). A mid-calf pair of boots. It has a cotton lining and cotton insole. I was wearing my pair of Crocs so I decided to use the Aigle right away and got to test the comfort when I saw my bus ride about to leave; I ran as fast as I could! And my feet were happy and I am happy. (Heh-heh) It's still summer here but it's been raining a lot. Good thing about rain boots here is that you can wear them (almost) any time. |
