Didn't buy any boots and not sure what is out there but yesterday finally bought a decent winter coat. Yep for down here. Family lives up north in Indiana and they're cold. In case of emergency, I need to have some heavy winter clothes on hand. Can't stand winter clothes that are heavy and don't keep you warm. quiltingcandy I know your pain. I lost a good winter coat and boots when I went to a winter party. I ended up having to borrow a friend's. I also would much rather wear heavier socks.
