cheap vintage 1940s 1950s winter snow and spring boots under $50

I've been wearing my vintage snow boots all winter and now that spring is almost here, I'm excited to get into my wedges and pumps again. Although I'm an open-toe shoe kind of girl, there are still some occasions that call for a fab pair (or two...or three) of vintage style boots.

 I am so excited to start my garden again, play in the rain with my little puddle ducks, go camping and romping through the meadow at my mom's house in the country.

Here's a collection of vintage inspired kicks for your muddy play days. Wear them with your overalls or pair them with a vintage dress for morning trips to the farmer's market and afternoon picnics by the river. When looking at all of these vintage boot ads, I was surprised at how some of these styles have only changed slightly through the decades! The original ads range from the 1930s to 1960s. The modern counterparts are all under $50- available from Tidestore
