We all know how awful it is to have soppy wet feet in winter – in Australia it’s inevitable because we get used to dry weather and flimsy shoes (see rubi shoes). Then when the rain starts to pour (like tonight or March 22nd) we start going over our options. Wellies? They look ghastly no matter what prints they have on them. Boots? Most aren’t waterproof or durable enough to get through torrential rain, and those with heels and platforms to get you out of the way of puddles really aren’t practical for uni or a day out just in case it rains.

Well I think I’ve found a solution. A cute, quirky solution that is a cross between boots and wellies and bubblegum. Enter Melissa VW ankle boots.

Delicious, aren’t they? They come in a range of colours and two styles – either the button design shown above, or with a cute bow on the front as shown in the pictures below. Check out www.melissaaustralia.com.au for more info and for more delicious bubblegum scented shoes. All vegan, all awesome.

PS. these do fit a tad snug, might be worthwhile going a size larger as with wellies, space doesn’t hurt. Either way, the girls at Melissa are happy to do exchanges.
