Winter shoes: unfortunate necessity

Snow is pretty and sledding is fun, but I hate when it sticks around forever.  Having to tromp through several feet of snow to get anywhere is exhausting.  Repeatedly slipping on the 3 inches of ice coating my landing has caused my rear end to turn several shades of purple.  Worst of all, I am confined to these boots for weeks on end.

I hate hot weather and do like the long, cool spring and fall here and the rarely-above-85 summers, but I might be convinced to move someplace with a real summer for a few more weeks of weather I could wear these shoes in.

They’re so sweet and pretty and impossible to even get out my front door with 4 months of the year.
