<p>Agree w/upperarlington re: Hunter boots w/sock inserts. Have recently been on UMich and UIUC campuses and they are very popular - they will keep your feet dry and with the sock inserts they will be warm, too. Costco recently had the boots for $79. I don’t see these going out of style any time soon. There are some good deals right now for coats, gloves etc. I would think a longer down coat would be helpful.</p>
