Save vs Splurge - Duck Boots

This week's Save vs Splurge is all about those duck boots you're seeing all over Instagram and Pinterest. They're a great alternative to the LL Bean boots that are always backordered around this time of year. They're also the perfect boot for rain or snow because of their durable materials. I own a pair from Sperry Top-Sider and I love them for rainy days and I can't wait to wear them when the snow hits the ground. I'll be comparing a pair from Sperry Top-Sider with a pair from Steve Madden. Keep reading to see if my favorite boots hold up against the competition!

The specs:

PU upper with quilted side panels                                                    Leather and textile upper
Fabric lining                                                                                 Micro-fleece lining
Waterproof rubber sole                                                                  Waterproof rubber sole
1/2 inch heel height                                                                       3/4 inch heel height
5 inch shaft height                                                                         6 1/2 inch shaft height

The verdict: My pick is the Sperry Top-Sider Saltwater duck boots only for the fleece lining. My feet are always cold no matter what socks or shoes I'm wearing so I need all the help I can get. I would actually like to buy a pair of the Steve Madden boots since they have an amazing grey/black colorway! I've also got my eye on a pair of the Saltwater boots that comes in camo! Both styles come in a multitude of colors so there is literally a pair that would suit anybody. What's your favorite pair of duck boots? Leave your answers in the comments below!
