This past weekend I headed home to the brutal winters of MN. Crazy how things have changed in the past 4 years that I’ve lived in NY yet home still feels the same way it used to.. almost like it’s been trapped in 2016 since I left.
For instance, winter is just as cold and dry as ever, the Christmas decor is the same as it’s been since I was a kid (nostalgic in a way because so many of the decorations were made in daycare), even topics of debate and speculation are all the same… Really the only thing that’s changed is Lexi has a little more white fur to her face, but she’s still as chipper a pup as ever (thankfully).
One major change for me this year, however, is owning and wearing my own pair of winter boots c/o Lugz. Ironic considering I grew up in one of the coldest states in the US and had never prior owned a pair, I usually just wore my favorite sneakers into the ground. But not this year! This year I might actually not have to deal with 1st-degree frostbite, hooray! Thanks, Lugz!
So far, I’ve been wearing them to walk Lexi and honestly they have some impressive grip. It’s weird to walk outside and not have to brace myself for a fall or do the delicate eggshell walk to avoid it. I can simply stride along without a worry. They’re also incredibly warm, I wore them without socks the other day (I don’t know why I just didn’t feel like rummaging through my luggage to find the spare pair I packed) and I still stayed warm.
Now for the fun copy points!:
All Lugz can be purchased at DSW. I’m wearing the “Empire Hi” boot in Pink. The shoes are lace-up and feature a water-resistant finish and a slip-resistant rubber sole (hence why I wasn’t falling all over the place). Oh, and they’re superrr comfortable because they have a memory foam insole?! How sick is that?
Anyway, hoping these boots quite literally carry me through this holiday weekend and through the mayhem that will be flying back to NY next week. Ta-ta!
