In winter, few things aid a person like a pair of good boots - and by good we mean well-fitting and sturdy with low heels.
The other day in the grocery store, Cait came to the aid of a woman who slipped and fell while wearing what Cait calls “Floozie Boots” - high-heeled, dress boots that are an accident waiting to happen in winter.
The floor was dry, so it didn’t even take ice or a slick spot to topple this woman off her floozie boots. Cait helped her up and she walked off limping and embarrassed.
Cait didn’t think she was in the mood to hear her Gimpy spiel about heels. If you’re in the mood click here.

I never “got” those boots. Well, I never understood high heels in general, but high-heeled boots seem beyond oxymoronic. If you’re going to be so insulated from the elements (going from house to garage to vehicle to parking ramp to destination and back again) that you don’t need safe, sturdy, waterproof and warm boots, why bother with boots at all? Shelve ‘em if you have ‘em, but better to leave them on the store shelf in the first place!

This winter i swear i wore snowboots from the first week of december until the last of february.I found some so comfortable and so secure on ice and in snow finally!Columbia Cascadian Summit boots.very light weight but very warm and waterproof as well.i do not have good balance and i feel very steady in these.yes i have friends who mince along in heeled boots skidding across parking lots,its crazy chic but really makes no sense.my niece once took a walk with me in deep snow in pink ballet shoes.L
