BUNDLING UP EARLY THIS YEAR

Sweaters, coats and boots are going fast. Among the big sellers are snow boots and waterproof boots.

So far this year, Naturalizer Shoe Store in Valley View Mall has sold about 25 percent more boots, said Courtney Burt, assistant manager.

"People are getting ready for another big winter. They are asking for snow boots - the kind with fur on the inside and good rubber for traction on the soles."

Last year, the store ran out of the boots by the end of December. "This year people are coming in and saying they want to get them early."
