Finally Friday: Penny Boot

I was intrigued to find these Sam Edelman boots in Zappos best sellers list. Among heavy hitting perennial favorites like Hunters, Uggs, and Sam Edelman’s very popular short Petty boot, these tall, flat boots are new to me. (There’s also a wide calf version!) The lining looks soft and warm, and I believe the Zappos video lady’s words were “squishy bottom,” which sounds good to me (at least in the shoe context). The boots are $150, and available in black and brown, sizes 5-10. Sam Edelman Penny
Psst: It looks like Zappos has limited sizes — note that Nordstrom has sizes 4-13, as well as a darker brown color.

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Question/vent for you all with kids in daycare. How do you manage the drop off/pick up schedule when you travel for work? We had previously relied on grandparents, but my parents are now watching my brother’s infant nearly full time, and my husband’s parents are not always available (rightly so of course) due to their own travel plans. My husband’s job location and long hours makes it impossible for him to handle it. We have had sitters, but letting them drive my car (and my child!) and handle the evening routine all by themselves just makes me nervous. Advice? Commiseration?
Can anyone speak to how 18-24 month versus 2T sizing works? I’m trying to buy ahead to get some end of season winter stuff for next year and I’m trying to guess how things will fit. My DD is 17 months and so far has been consistently 55th percentile for weight and height. She tends to start fitting into stuff right about when the label says she should. For instance, she’s 17 months and all of the 12-18 month stuff is getting snug, but is still mostly wearable, and the 18-24 month stuff is a little large, but also mostly wearable.
Should I expect her to wear size 2T all of next winter? (For reference, she turns 2 at the very end of August.) I understand that the cut for 2T versus 24 months is just a bit trimmer and longer. Will she really not grow more? Should I expect to move into 3T sizing before she’s 3 or will 2T really last for the whole year? Does it matter when she potty trains?
Thanks!
These boots are great! Very nice leather and a great shape. I ended up not keeping the brown, which I’d ordered, b/c there was some (intentional) discoloration on the toes that I didn’t love. Still, I can definitely vouch for these from a style and (perceived) quality perspective.
Ladies, have you seen this? It nearly made me cry (in a good way). Try to ignore that it’s a formula commercial. (You will.)

TJ – For my 2nd child, 6+ years later (same husband, if that matters), do I start a registry list online at the usual places?
We don’t know the gender of the new baby. I’m not expecting any showers. People are being generous and giving some stuff. We’ll need some new stuff for different reasons – this baby coming in a different season (literally 6 months later in the year), gave old stuff away, new living situation, old stuff is just kinda old and whatever. Do I register? Do I register and not mention it? Do I tell people? I really am not sure of what to do and don’t want to appear either greedy or clueless, like people want to give me stuff and I’m not letting them – I’m happy to take it, but don’t want to appear greedy or expectant.
