Would you pay $325 for a pair of winter boots?

Electrically heated, rechargable battery.

1. No, but if you would I've got some beachfront property in New Mexico you may also be interested in.

:)

Just kidding. Bit pricey for me, but then I don't live where they'd really be needed.

2. No. I've used boots here in WI when it was -20 and my feet kept warm.

And that was standing around while I was flooding a skating rink. If I had lots of disposable income and anticipated being in subzero weather for a long time I might consider them.

3. no

6. No? Asskicking with an electrified boost -- and you say no?

4. If I had $325?

Sure, but only after I paid for several other things I need like immediately.

*A desk

*A new computer

*Startup costs for my new side business

*A new domain name (I got in a fight with my registrar over premium services (proxy registration) which I no longer wanted and they were making it impossible to cancel so I lapsed my domain which was promptly swept up by a reseller/wholesaler. Too bad I don't want it back and there is no market for it to anybody but me.)

*New clothes for work.

After all that, yes I'd gladly pay half a month's rent (utilities/internet/cable included) for heated snow boots. My 'rents live on top of a mountain in CT and every time I go home, I have to shovel them out...they're the sort to let it accumulate until the roof collapses and they forget where the edge of the 4-foot-high open-front porch is. It takes 15+ hours and it's never not windy and it literally snows daily whether it's snowing anywhere else in the Farmington Valley. Mountain-effect weather.

5. That's more than my monthly grocery budget.

So, no.

7. If I lived in Fairbanks, AK, yes, I would.

It can be many degrees below zero for days on end there. You betcha I'd buy a pair of those boots. Beats losing toes to frostbite.

[name not needed]

8. Yes, provided it's not those boots.

[Brickbat]

9. Hell no. And I live in northern Minnesota.

[pokerfan]

10. I spent more than that

on a pair of plastic climbing boots. Of course, that price included crampons.

[Lucinda]

11. Not unless I lived in really heavy snow & ice conditions

And probably not then either. I do really well with smart wool and regular boots when its super cold though. I also don't think I'd like the heater.

[Lucinda]

12. ...

duped answer

[DeadEyeDyck]

13. Yes, if there was a beautiful

babe standing in them, wearing nothing else.

[shugah]

15. absolutely

if i had the $ at the time and they were awesome boots. those at the links - not bloody likely!

i pinch pennies everywhere i possibly can, boom or bust. but when it comes to footwear...

16. Not in Texas, but invent a self-drying flip flop with a fan, and we can dicker.

[Richardo]

17. I might pay that much for 5 pairs of winter boots.
