You know what a second semester means? A second round of some fabulous shoe blog posts! Some changes will be made though to Art in Motion this time around. I will try to write about more shoes with reasonable prices, show more men’s footwear and unveil some great shoe purchases for college!
With the month of January upon us now, it means we have to endure this treacherous weather that comes with it! Treading through the snow though doesn’t mean we need to give up our fabulous footwear, it just means we need to refine our favorite fashion accessory to make it both practical and fashionable.
What’s the perfect winter accessory to pair with our warm gloves and hats? Hunter rain boots!

American entrepreneur Henry Lee Morris created Hunter rain boots in 1856 in Scotland. During World War 2 production of these boots skyrocketed as they were seen as a sturdy suitable boot for the flooded trenches. Now over 150 years later, Hunter Wellington boots are sold and produced in over 30 countries around the world!

Hunter rain boots are my go-to shoe for this crazy winter rain and snow! Unlike other high end rain boots like Burberry and Gucci that come with a heavy price tag of over $250, Hunter boots range from $100-$135! More than half the price!

What else makes these boots great you ask? They come in almost every color of the rainbow! This means every girl can find her perfect color to brighten up these gloomy days.

Hunter boots are also known for there “welly socks”. These are soft, warm fleece inserts for your boots that fold over the top. This helps not only to keep your feet warm and protected from the cold but adds a pop of color or pattern. You can find them in stripes, zebra, cheetah, solid print, fur and more!

Men can also enjoy Hunter boots! Sorry boys, they don’t come in the fabulous rainbow and bright colors but instead dark manly browns and blacks. Now when your walking to class through the snow you wont have to worry about your Nike’s getting soaking wet!

Hunter rain boots are perfect for this cold weather sneaking up on us. They help keep your feet warm; they wont soak up the cold rain like our Uggs and defiantly look adorable with any puffy winter coat. If you don’t have a pair yet hurry up! The snow isn’t going to stop falling to wait for you!
