Maybe this is more of a street style question, but imma try my luck here first. I'm thinking of picking p a pair of L L Bean duck boots, but I'm not sure how high of a rise to get. I'm pretty lazy about putting boots on, so I'm wondering if I can get away with the gumshoe boot (just one step above the moccasin in height). The problem is that I do plenty of walking, and I live in an area that gets a lot of snow (although the sidewalks are well kept, I like walking through the snow). Do you think the gumshoe boots could fly, or should I just suck it up and get the 6"?
Here they are, for reference:

Relatedly, do you guys think there are better options out there? I'm a law school-bound college senior and a pretty casual dresser, so I figure I could wear these puppies until the soles wear out.
Thoughts? I hope that duck boots aren't too egregiously preppy for SF. People outside NE probably don't even know what I'm talking about.
