[quote=Anonymous]by the way, GALOSHES are what you wear OVER your shoes. I can't say I've seen any woman wearing those ever in DC. My dad wore them while commuting in the rain, and I've seen one man in DC wear them in the almost 20 years I've lived here. So I doubt you are complaining about galoshes.

Wellingtons, or Wellies, are the tall rain boots.

when I was in college, we wore duck boots. I wore mine for at least a decade after that when it was wet out (rain, snow, or just muddy). Now I have "wellies".

I would venture that suburbanites have less reason to wear rain boots, as they have attached garages, both at home and almost all of their destinations. Now that I actually buy more expensive work shoes, I am even more likely to wear rain boots.

Since my dress pants are all hemmed for ~2.5" heels, I need to wear boots I can tuck the pants into if I am going to keep the hems dry and clean. Or only wear skirts and dresses when it is raining...

So complain all you want. I am practical and will continue to keep my feet and hems dry in the rain.[/quote]
