Rockport...who knew?!

I went into Browns, B2, Town Shoes, Aldo, Little Burgundy and FeetFirst looking for waterproof or water-resistant shoes. Every salesperson looked at me with a blank stare and replied, "they're out of season." Excuse me? According to worldweather.org, it rains an average of 10-12 days/month in April-October, which as a percent to total equates to 36%. Out of season?? If that isn't a business opportunity, I don't know what is.

As a last resort, I walked into Rockport: A place I thought was a "Dad" store. Not only was the salesperson educated in the product, she showed me some stylish waterproof shoes:
