Review and Giveaway: Sperry Top-Sider Boots - CLOSED

Happy Friday! It's been a hard few weeks, no? I think we all need a bit of a pick-me-up this morning, something exciting to start your weekend off with a bang. I think I have just the thing...


I was contacted a couple of weeks ago by Sperry Top-Sider, who offered up two pairs of boots from their new fall collection for me to review. I was thrilled about this, understandably, and picked two lovely pairs of boots to call my own, the Women's Northstar Boot and the Women's Pelican Tall Boot. Let's talk about the rainboot (the Pelican) first, since I don't have a picture of it with which to woo you (I mean, come on, I wore them during the Chiclone, I think my camera would have just up and blown away if I had attempted a picture). I don't know if you know this, but I broke some rainboots awhile ago. I wore them in January, because I didn't have snowboots at the time, and the freezing temperatures literally cracked the rubber. So I've been in the market for a new pair ever since. And to be honest, I love these. I've only ever had galoshes from Target or Old Navy, and while they do the trick in terms of waterproof-ness, they are decidedly uncomfortable. The Pelican boots are cozy and warm and comfortable, and totally chic. Yes, it's a steep price tag ($75), so I probably wouldn't have sprung for them myself, to be honest, but they are clearly superior to my old, cracked, brokedown pair.

Now for the Northstar Boot. I heart this boot. I plan to wear this boot as often as possible. I want to be known as the girl who wears the same boots everyday, because that means I'll be wearing these boots everyday. Again, in all honesty, they're way out of my price range (these lovelies come in at $180). There's also something a bit goofy about the design, kind of as if someone attached a tall leather shaft to the classic Sperry's boat shoe style, but I'm quickly coming to love that quirkiness, and can forgive the high price because of the insanely soft leather, ridiculously comfy footbed, and undeniably fantastic style.

Now for the good part! Sperry has also offered to giveaway one pair of select Sperry-Top Sider Fall 2010 boots to a very lucky Between Laundry Days reader! All you have to do is follow Between Laundry Days, check out the Sperry-Top Sider Fall 2010 collection, and fill out this handy-dandy form. Then just start wishing away (or pray to the pagan gods, or Satan, since it is Halloween weekend. Whatever you'd prefer). Good luck!
