Leaving for Ireland in 2 days. We're in Orlando. Any idea on store names where we can find waterproof shoes/boots on short notice and not too expensive?

Why not wait and make the shoes a souvenir purchase? There will be more practical choices over there!

Are you serious? Any sporting good store, or travel store. Or maybe Burdines, Dillards, Sears, Penney's. Waterproof shoes are not a big deal.

We've used waterproofing spray from the shoe repair shop on leather sneakers with good results.

I agree w/ both Patrick and abram. Waterproof shoes are available everywhere. But you can just waterproof any old pair you already own - or you can have a shoe repair place do it for you. But I just use waterproofing spray.

My wife just bought some Land's End waterproof clogs at Sears for $24.50. They also have waterproof mocs for $29.50. These will be here walking shoes on our trip to Italy, Switz., and France in three weeks. She also has a waterproof pair of hiking shoes from Montrail for the trip, but I doubt you'll find those either a)quickly or b)cheaply! She loves the Land's End clogs, but the mocs would probably give a little better coverage if you're expecting more rain.

Thanks all. We ended up going to Timberland Outlet store here in Orlando and I got waterproof zip-top brown suede-like/leather shoes for $45 and my husband got a pair that looked more like regular men's casual lace-up shoes, but waterproof, for about $55.

Then we stopped in at London Fog outlet and picked up a couple waterproof jackets. His was basic and around $30 and mine was little more stylish, but was $75.

Probably could have gotten cheaper at Penney's, Dillards or Burdines, but I actually thought Timberland Outlet would have more selection.

Not inexpensive at first but Eccoes are waterproof. I have had mine for 3 solid years of wear. Pretty cheap at that.
