You and your DH sound like assholes.
Her DH sounds like a latent homosexual. I can just see him wiggle his hips, pull out that index finger, give it a twirl and proclaim "No, she din't!".

PP, only in D.C. would SHE be wearing the Wellies and skimpies and the observer would be called an a**hole. Now THAT is funny!

You don't. You just suck it up.
I was in an elevator the other day at a hospital. The elevator stops, the door opens up, and this man walks in - long gray hair in a ponytail, a T-shirt with a big green moose on, and running shorts so short they were barely covering his butt. And they were also the flimsy, almost see-through, kind.
Now, THAT was great entertainment.
Oh, and I like boots. Unless they are Duck Boots, then I take issue.

We should request a change to the chain of command. Its not Fashionably correct to be wearing boots in summer.

Need to work on reading comprehension. People may "not like" boots, but it's not possible to be "against" boots. It's not like being "against" abortion or something.
I do think it weird to see people wearing heavy suede boots with sleeveless summer dress in 100 degree heat this summer. Call me square, but I refuse to follow the fashion lemmings off the cliff.
I was referring to the poster from Oregon who basically didn't think anyone should wear boots ever unless they're skiing and to the poster who felt boots in the workplace were unprofessional. Sorry for my misuse of against, it was mostly in jest. I will happily work on my reading comprehension. Thanks.

square? What year were you born? Be honest.
Puleeeze, don't even try to shut me up by calling me old. You may be younger or older, who knows.
But I value comfort over fads. Let's not lose our common sense just because it's the hottest trend at Target.

I lived on a mountain in Oregon for 6 years and never wore boots, even in the winter when I was snowshoeing. I wore hiking boots. IMO boots belong on the slopes and that's it. Unless they're rain boots. But I realize different strokes for different folks and if you want to look ridiculous wearing boots of any type then that's your prerogative. I won't force you to wear my comfortable and functional shoes and you can wear your boots.
I lived in Oregon, too! Eugene, that is. I never even owned an umbrella! Of course, it didn't rain torrents like it does here.

I come at this from a different angle, but agree with OP. No boots now, but that's because they look dumb without tights underneath, and it is definitely too hot for that.

Just people with ugly legs.
Not the poster you are quoting, but I happen to have what you would call "ugly" legs. Boots do not fit me. Never have, never will. I happen to like boots and think they look really good when worn well. Even though my body is not perfect, I still can appreciate beauty when I see it. I was born with large calves. I cannot change them. You are not a very kind person, are you?

I think people with skinny legs have a hard time finding boots too. So lets leave the name calling out. People can state they find them ridiculous either now or at work without being called fat.
