Maybe I shouldn't ask this question but doing so probably won't be the most stupid thing I do today so...
I can't help but notice that with a little chill in the air it's becoming popular for women to wear boots. I understood it just fine when I lived in NY and I understood it while visiting family in the Seattle area but I sure as hell don't understand it in Tucson.
The whole purpose of wearing boots is to keep snow (or mud or something else) from getting into your shoe and making your socks all sloppy. I wore boots for that purpose all the time when I lived in NY. I also wore boots when I was in the military because it kept woodland, jungle and desert critters out of my shoes. I can understand cowboys wearing boots so that their shins don't chafe on their stirrups. All those things I understand just fine but I have no idea why a woman who works in a heated office in a city that gets an average of 4" of snow a DECADE needs to wear boots!!!
What is the point of this?
If you're walking on snow or ice you'll kill yourself.
Is it really that important to keep the bottom half of your shin and calf warm? Won't pants do the same thing?
