Sorry for the triple post (you guys have gotten quiet and I don't really have anyone to bounce off of), but I did have another query; I've decided to get the Rockies, they seem like a good substitute for the movie boots. I've got a choice of getting regular ones or waterproof, insulated ones. I don't really wear boots so, would you say investing in the latter is a good idea? Is it necessary, or excessive? If I plan to use these mostly at cons/events, would the insulation/waterproofness be a benefit or actually hinder my activity? The price difference isn't a lot, but I just generally wasn't sure.

Would be great to get some feedback.

As someone who's been doing this for nearly a decade, I'd say go with basic boots, nothing fancy.
Unless it rains a lot ,or is very cold in your area, of course.

It does rain frequently here in London, but not to the point where I've ever felt I needed to wear boots for it. Snow is a pretty rare occurrence too.

You're going to be going to cons, not hiking up Snowdon or Ben Nevis in them, so go for whatever is most comfortable or affordable.

Right, that sounds like good advice. Sorry, my common sense has gone right out the window with this project.
