Boys snow boots MIA during winter!

I know I have posted about the frustration of shopping for boys before and I have meant to post about snow boots for awhile but keep forgetting.

I and my husband spent 2 month, starting in October and giving up in December, trying to find my 16 month old snow boots.  Yes I said snow boots.  This was a ridiculous game we played that is not a game I want to do again.  We looked everywhere and I am not kidding.  We went to every Walmart and Kmart within 30 miles, which are a lot.  We went to Burlington coat factory, gymboree, children’s place, carters and other stores I don’t know the names.  I even called my friends with boys to see if they had boots that they did not use anymore that would fit my son.

Just a side note, we could have bought my daughter boots in every store we went too.  They had a ton of girls boots.

We then hit every thrift store within that same 30 mile radius and could not even find snow boots there!  WHAT!  I guess all parents who have boys are boot hording for the same reason! LOL

I then ventured to ebay and craigslist, craigslist continued to have NOTHING or if I did not see the posting within the first day of its posting they would be sold.  Ebay was just as expensive as the stores and to add shipping was ridiculous.  I did find 2-3 boots for him but they were $25 or more and if you think I am buying a 1 year old boots for that price you are crazy.  They would only fit him for 4-6 weeks and then I would need another pair.

We ended up back at walmart just before Christmas and bought some girls brown boots and cut the poofy balls off the back and that is what he has used for boots.  Does not look bad.
