Yay or nay

Coach Rain boots. I'm only leaning towards nay because although Nordstrom has them on sale, not in my size. On Amazon I found for $134.

Re: Yay or nay

IMO that's a lot for a pair of rain boots. I wouldn't pay that much, personally, for something that you pretty much just wear in transit.

That being said, I opened the link expecting them to be covered with "C's" all over and was really surprised...I don't usually like Coach stuff because it's just not my style but these are really nice.

I'm on the fence! I think they're really cute but it's just too Chat Icon for rain gear to me.

Re: Yay or nay

Just like Pearl Jam Chick posted, that's a lot of money for rain gear.
Nay for me.

Re: Yay or nay

I LOVE the bows on the back, but I also can't justify spending that on something you won't wear often.

If they had them in your size for the $99 sale price, I'd say yay.

But even $100 is a bit muc for me for rain boots

I say Yay. Yes it's expensive but also think that you won't have to buy a pair ever again. I have Hunter boots that were over $100 but to me it was a great investment because I don't need to buy another pair and they keep my feet dry.

But just to play devil's advocate, I bought Kamik rain boots for like $69 and to be honest, the quality is just as good ,if not better, than Hunter.
I doubt I will EVER have to buy another pair.
In the year I have had them I wore them like 4 times.
4 times a year- these babies will last me for 30 years!

Re: Yay or nay

I agree that it is a lot of money for rain boots, but those are a classic design. Since you wont use them as often as say, a regular black pair of riding boots, I say yay. Those boots will last you for many many years. Its not something you will need to replace for a long time.

I say no and only because of the bows. I think that they are cute BUT if it is raining and they get wet it would drive me nuts and gross me out like wet shoe laces.

I know the back won't get as wet, but the splashing up when you walk .. I know the back of my rain boots get wet/splashed etc.

Re: Yay or nay

I say Yay - I don't think $100 is a lot to spend on a good pair of rain boots, provided they are, in fact a good practical pair of rain boots and not just "coach" -
I commute to NYC every day, and my Hunters were one of the best footwear investments I ever made. - I wear them ALL THE TIME

Yay or nay

I say YES! I have had the same pair of rain boots from Target for 10 years! I love them and would love a pair of these. This would never go out of style, is well made and would last for years and years. Plus since we moved I need rain boots lol. DO IT!!!!

This is also the reason I need a pair of rain boots. I commute into the city and then from Penn I walk up to Herald Square, then take a subway to 23st and Broadway and walk to 20th and 2ave. I've been through countless wet sneakers, slushy snow, and just nastiness and I'm tired of it.

If you are looking to spend less, but still want quality and practical, look at Kamik rainboots- I have the style Jennifer
I got them on Amazon for like $69.
Super high quality.
But not as cute as these with the bows....but not bad either for the price!

Yay! I don't think the price is bad. I finally caved and bought a pair of hunters last year and they are so worth it.

I think they are adorable but I am too cheap to spend that much on rain boots.
