hrhdhd Posted February 7, 2016 #26 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I live in the Tampa Bay area and we love wearing our boots! It's more of a fashionable thing; not "it's below 60 so I don't want my feet to freeze" thing. I agree. I'm in Central Florida and am looking forward to wearing boots this week. The highs will be in the 50s and 60s. :) For the cruise, I might do more of a hiking shoe. I have waterproof ones from LL Bean that I like. They also sell hiking boots, although they're more for outdoors than for fashion. But they'll last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dogmom Posted February 7, 2016 Author #27 Share Posted February 7, 2016 One reason I love my soft leather no zip keens is they pack quite nicely. I'm also happy to wear boots on the plane if I don't want to take up space in my bag. If you want to wear/ bring boots, there are certainly ways to make it work! (I have global entry so I get tsa precheck - no need to take off my shoes at the airport, but even if I do - many airports don't have precheck lines for international arrivals - it doesn't take me long to get them on & off :-) I was thinking of wearing them on the plane to save on space. TSA pre-check....*swooooon*! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted February 7, 2016 #28 Share Posted February 7, 2016 They also sell hiking boots, although they're more for outdoors than for fashion. But they'll last forever. I have Bean duck boots from high school I got in 1987 that I still wear. The treads are a little worn and the leather is nicely broken in. Love them :-) Also have green suede Sorels from college I wear on the rare occasions I need a snow boot (I live in NC - I need them maybe once every 2-3 years ;-) I do like to hold on to the "classics" :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrealistic Posted February 7, 2016 #29 Share Posted February 7, 2016 You will see a lot of people wearing boots in New England and Canada in October. Boot season starts in NY right after flip flop season. :) http://www.clarksusa.com/us/womens/womens-view-all/Rosalyn-Lara-Dark-Brown-Leather/p/26111587 These could be worn with leggings or skinny jeans or with tights and a skirt. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted February 7, 2016 #30 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Acadia Nat'l Park and Peggy's Cove are the 2 places I was mainly thinking of that a sturdier shoe/boot would be better than a sneaker. I am reluctant to add I have done really great in Acadia National Park in my walking shoes and/or sneakers. We had great visits there. Hope for a clear day as the views are magnificent if there is good visibility. If you want your boots, by all means wear them. I cannot ever recall anyone wearing them on those cruises but that should not matter. Wear what you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a few reviews that led me to believe I needed a good sole as I've done cobblestones in both sneakers and sandals but thought because it was October I could change it up a bit.

Sailor_Sally Posted February 7, 2016 #33 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Just curious but are you a native Floridan ? I have lived in Florida for twenty years and the only time I wore boots was on a trip to Buffalo in Feb.. but I do see a lot of people wearing them and I always wonder if they are native Floridians and boots are fun for them . I lived in New Jersey for forty years and got my fill of boots . I did the Canada cruise three years ago and we had great weather sunny with a chill in the air . I packed jeans and a waterproof jacket . Great seafood . Try the various fish chowders . They are to die for . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my suede, leather, high, over-the-knee, bootie boots! Am I talking hiking the forest, trekking in snow boots? No, no....basically I want something that's comfortable to walk in for 8 hour tours, over slippery rocks/cobblestone streets, but that look fashionable doing it. Basically an alternative to wearing my sneakers is what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your cruise. Funny--I just bought these on Shoebuy.com for about $54; I didn't realize they are waterproof. They are very comfortable; I don't normally wear a such a high heel (for me, this is high), but these work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
