Stomping Out Leaks




As a born-and-bred northerner, I have experienced my share of leaky winter boots. No matter how cute, chic or promises of being "insulated" or "weatherproof", there is nothing worse than that yucky feeling when moisture meets socks; UGH!

I am one step ahead of the dilemma, realizing that the most versatile of footwear need not be limited to spring puddles. But what does the woman with the larger, wider foot have to choose from when looking for stylish and functional boots?

The gracious folks at OneStopPlus - who touts the title of being the first online fashion mall for plus sizes - shipped a pair of boots that solves both issues.

Unlike most fashion rain boots, the April rain boot is available in full and half sizes, as well as Medium and Wide widths. For the woman with a wider foot, it has the advantage of side zippers and an adjustable calf buckle, not to mention rubber thread soles. With the choice of solid colors and plaids, they coordinate with any wardrobe.

Now you may think it solves the leak issue, but does nothing for warmth. That's where fleece rain boot liners come in. Available on a rainbow of colors, they are the perfect way to add a pop of color and switch your look from conservative to sassy.

If you want to survive this winter in both comfort and joy, April rain boots are the way to climb every snowbank leak-free.
