I’m looking forward to some spring hikes, and here’s a hiking boot that delivers both style and substance.
This fun, retro, waterproof boot keeps your feet dry on damp trails. It has a padded collar, cushioned footbed, and low heel for hours of comfort. If hiking isn’t your thing, these will also work for urban excursions. In addition to gray/purple, it also comes in wheat/black (lucky sizes only).
Timberland’s Euro Waterproof Hiker Boot is $99.99–$129.95, depending on the color. It’s available at Nordstrom in sizes 5.5–11.

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?
What tops should I wear with the Eileen Fisher crepe pants for a business casual office? I got them in black, and I’m a size 16. I would love a silk-ish top but I haven’t found one that hits the right balance of flowy but not tent-like.
Trigger warning: body image/weight.
Hi all, I am really struggling. I’m midway through my first pregnancy, and I feel fat and ungainly. The problem is, I was obese before getting pregnant – was working with a nutritionist and exercising, but not making much of a dent in weight loss. I am thrilled to be pregnant after a long fertility journey, but I don’t know how to fix this and I am desperately afraid of gaining even more weight and never losing it after the pregnancy. I have been seeing a therapist. Has anyone been there?
does anyone else worry about overscheduling their kids? when i was a kid i was in a different activity every day of the week after school but my kids barely tolerate 1.
I would totally have rocked these boots with a safari-inspired outfit in 1988.
