If you don't wear rain boots do you just deal with your pant legs getting wet? Or are you not outside long enough for them to get wet?
Re: S/O Rain boots
I just deal with it I guess, BUT a couple things:
- I'm probably not outside that much because I just walk to and from the bus. My pants do get wet, but oh well.
- I don't have to wear nice clothes so either I don't care if my jeans get wet
- While I often wear cute flats to work, if I know it's going to be a really rainy day then I just wear tennis shoes, which gets my pants off the ground more and/or if they are wet I can't feel it
That said, I went to UW for undergrad and had to walk around in the rain all day and still never got rain boots, lol. I don't know, I just never have wanted to wear them.

I don't think I've had any since I was itty-bitty. I just deal with my pants getting a little wet, although once rainy season starts, I switch to shoes with a thicker/higher sole so it's not as bad.
However, there are two pairs of ridiculously expensive DAV boots that I want. I'd be happy with either, but I'm not paying $80 for rainboots, even if they are AWFULLY cute. I've been wanting a pair of rainboots for the past year or so just because it's much nicer to go look at tide pools. Now that we have a yard, I can justify the need better...but still not quite $80 better.
These are my first choice: English Snow Leopard (at $85 plus shipping, yikes!)

With my second choice: English Geometric
I guess maybe I'm just being a baby. My jeans are all hemmed to wear with my heeled boots and they still get soaked. My dress pants with flats aren't as bad and actually dry out quite fast.
I do ride the bus and that leaves me to walk anywhere for lunch or errands.
I don't wear dress pants usually; the ones i do are hemmed such that they aren't a problem. I also usually don't wear flats with them (but one pair i do and they are hemmed shorter). Jeans and the like i just roll up so they don't get wet, then roll them back down when i get to my destination. I know that's totally ugly, but it works.
Well, it usually works. When i'm walking in the rain for any distance then the backs of my pants still get tiny splatters all over them. Boots would help with that (though it's only really an issue for me when it's muddy splatters).
