I spoiled this post a few days ago when I posted my duck boots! I've had these LLBean Boots for a few years but I hardly ever get the chance to wear them in South Carolina!
Although it probably wasn't even "cold" by most of y'all's standards, it was CHILLY for us here! Read: I actually had to wear a winter coat. YUCK!
They had been calling for rain on-and-off and so I decided boots would be the best choice.
I have the LLBean 6'' Boots and they work perfectly for my climate and usage. I didn't need lined ones nor did I need really tall ones. Mine are EXTREMELY comfortable, especially the fat rubber heel. To me, they feel more like heavy running shoes than snow boots.
If you aren't on the Bean Boots bandwagon (say that 5 times fast!) you'll need to know that if you buy yourself a pair, you'll need to go down a size(s). I normally wear a 10.5 and actually ordered the women's 9 believe it or not. They still fit with fat socks. They aren't roomy, but the fit is great in the 9. The laces will also take a little getting used to, but they're nothing a double knot can't fix!
I think Bean Boots might be the ONLY perk of it being this cold!

I've always wanted Bean Boots! Since I've moved to London, I may need to finally invest in some!

I received my first pair as a birthday gift in November not knowing whether they would be used here in Hotlanta. They've been used plenty! We are expecting ice and snow tomorrow so they may be used again. I have the 8" ones as I am tall with long legs. They also fit over my swollen ankle (surgeries).
I can't decide if I'm gonna buy the short ones or taller ones. What do you suggest?

I'm the same way! I only get to wear them so often, but I love wearing them when I do....especially the preppiness of them! :) And yours are good and worn in, for only wearing them a little while!
