New boots!

Amy and I have decided to visit Davos for our NYE celebrations - HOORAY! But the downside is Davos is a ski resort and it is guaranteed to be covered in snow. Thick snow. Specialist boot-requiring snow. People used to the amount of snow I would be facing looked at the boots I currently wear in the snow and basically said, "You are going to slip, fall, and die." That could only mean one thing - TIME TO GO SHOPPING!!!

But snowboots aren't exactly the cheapest of shoes, so I wasn't sure if I wanted to invest in a sooper-dooper pair if I was to never to go over 1100m again. However, having been created to be functional, snowboots are also not particularly chic - and if there's one thing I strive to be, even when it's -10C and blizzarding, it's being chic. Once everyone stopped laughing and telling me to go to Prada, Christine told me there was a sports outlet store, near the Ostbahnhof and perhaps I'd get lucky.

Well, I got lucky! 

Behold - my proper snowboots!

Okay, they're not *chic* in the standard sense, but a pair of hardcore Columbia snowboots reduced to €70? Sold! And paired with Garfield/Basketball, my bright orange North Face backpack, I look the right snow pro! But that's not all folks! We also headed over to Kaufring on the other side of Orleansplatz and I found these boots which were reduced 50% to €50 :D

As Amy said, "They're like giant, mutant uggs...that snow pattern is cute!"

Two pairs of snow-appropriate boots for €120? I'd call that a mighty successful day's shopping.
