How are your Chanel rainboots holding up?

I've still not had a chance to wear mine. No Rain, which I find quite funny! I really don't mind the heel, I know it will get dirty and I'm willing to live with it.

I have given up on them. Was told that they wouldnt work in snowy, icy conditions, so have bought plain old Hunter Boots now.

I was smitten by the Chanel Rainboots too. But did a "survey" with all family and friends and the consensus was it would be ridiculous to wear it for snow/winter. I'm also concerned about how it will smell if worn on warmer weather.
Anyway, I find the rainboots look best/hot with shorts and short dress, not too flattering with jeans or long pants. So I gave up and bought myself a pair of Camelia Thongs Sandals instead. I guess I will get a lot more use out of the sandals than rainboots!

I'm so bad. It hasn't rained but ... I turned on the sprinklers and had the kids and I run around the yard in our rainboots. It was fun. I didn't have any problem with smells - it's been running high 80's where I live in NC.

What is the retail price on these boots? i have been trying to find a pair!

 

[joviscot]

They cost around £220 here in the UK so around $335 or more in the US. Someone in the US will correct me I am sure!!

^^$350 in the states.

Unfortunately, two of my cameras are broken and the other two were having their batteries recharged. I suppose we can do it again - it's supposed to be sunny and high 80's here. I'll add the bubble machine too.
