My birthday is months away, but Wendy got me a present and she made me try it on because it's a 30-day return policy. Now I can bike to work in the winter in style: http://outdoorsurvivalcanada.com/product/nevluk/ Yes, it's fur (at the top) and goose down, but I tried to go the vegan shoe route and the shoes just fall apart and they were made in Pakistan. Fair trade, sure, but flying stuff from Pakistan can't be good for the environment. From what I understand, fur is way better than synthetic for not freezing up when wet. I don't need something rated to -40 when I'm biking anyway, but I'm not going to argue with her about it. :)
