I know what you're thinking. Didn't I just write about summer going on year round in this country? Now I'm blogging about rubber boots. But oh, not just any pair of boots... ok, ok, that's just a little melodramatic. Ahihihi, but then again, it's the tropics. It can rain anytime it wants. Anywhere and at any intensity. Tropical depressions. Typhoons. Rubber/rain boots have always been an essential part of our household. Even when I was small, I had my own boots. And mind you, during the great flood in our town back in 1991, rubber boots was the only way we could go about the streets and buy that precious bread from the bakery 5 blocks away.
With my own family, I still insisted we each have our own rubber boots. The trusty helper and nannies included. Wouldn't it be comforting to have a pair on hand just in case?
Last March this year my friend from the United Kingdom helped me ship my very own pair. Well, I just thought I'd level up on my own pair of rubber boots. And as peking order in this household goes, my senior helper (this only means, she's been with us for a long time hehehe) gets my old pair. My kids are still too very young.
My very own pair of Hunter Wellington Boots. Pricey but very well worth it. What's a girl from the tropics doing with Britain's symbol of country life? ...hmmm, just rockin' it, actually. Ahihihi... oh but it is very useful. It's been raining so very hard lately carrying my kids from the car to the door in 3 inch rain is nothing but a breeze for me. They can walk in their own boots but they love to see mine get wet. Ahihihi...kids!!!
I got myself the original tall in color black. Very very lightweight I tell ya! Fashion definitely meets function!
Real leather (so be very careful in opening that box, cover your nose if you're allergic to strong scents). Waterproof and strong enough to protect you from industrial chemicals. I love my Hunter! And are you ready for this? It is the most comfortable boots Ive ever tried on. Believe me, I've tried on more than a dozen!
