These Boots Weren't Made For Walking

So my mom has been trying to find me snow boots to wear outside - and for our trip to Colorado. The problem is they don't make actual boots, like water proof keep me warm in ankle deep snow kind of boots - or most practical shoes for that matter - in any sizes smaller than a 5. That's not very nice of those shoe/boot/sandal making people out there considering I am a fully-functioning walker who's in a size 3.5. I thought people liked small feet!

Anyway, Mom finally found some in a size 4 on Amazon so she ordered them up - and they were purple too! I got really excited when she showed me the picture... until they arrived and I had to put them on:



They may look cute from afar, but let me tell you these suckers weigh about 5lbs - each! That's about 1/2 my body weight in boots. I'm a tough girl, but even I have my limits. How am I suppose to walk around in these things on dry flat surfaces let alone the bumpy snow covered ground of Colorado? Who thought that a 5lb boot in a size 4 was a good idea? Here's a video of me trying to even lift my foot up while wearing them. I had to strip down to just the boots to shed all excess weight...



Guess it's back to the internet to continue the search! Come on boots! I know you are out there!
