Well, Seattle has made it through our 2012 snowstorm. With it came power outages, downed trees, major commuting challenges, and flooding. It also brought some fantastic footwear choices as Seattlites braved the wet, cold streets on their way to wherever they happened to be going. I saw lots of hiking boots and rain boots, and even a vintage pair of moon boots. Now these brought back memories of late elementary and middle school (I wanted a pair of these so bad!). If you grew up in the 70's/80's you remember these too, and if you went to ski school, like I did, you saw a lot of these (they were popular on the bus for the way up/way back from Stevens Pass). I couldn't believe a pair of these babies still existed, much less would be seen out in their element...but welcome back moon boots, your presence here in Seattle's snow is welcome!
