Although, I despise not being able to reach things on the top shelf or having acquaintances pat me on the head, one of the advantages of being shorter than the average adult (5’0!) is that oftentimes I can fit into clothing (and hiding spots) that others cannot. The perfect example of this showed up at my front porch this afternoon.
Since college I have wanted a pair of hunter wellies, but the price point was just a little too high. After some research I discovered that my size 6.5 foot would fit into a pair of children’s boots for a mere $60 (compared to the adult price of $115).
I ordered a size 5 youth from Zappos.com on Saturday morning. They were even nice enough to upgrade my free UPS ground shipping to overnight for free! The boots arrived right when I got home from work and fit my short calves perfectly. No one would ever be able to tell that they are technically children’s unless they noticed the reflectors on the back.
With all the heavy rain we’re supposed to get tomorrow in Boston I can’t wait to tromp through some puddles on my way to work.
So ladies, if you’re a size 8 or under I would highly recommend forgoing the traditional Hunter boots and getting yourself a pair of children’s. You can spend the extra $55 on another pair of shoes!
-ps- here’s where mine came from:
