Get a grip

Pet peeve: Why do cute boots have no grip?! I live in a snowy icey wasteland city and thus require shoes that stick to the ground. I've fallen over more times than is healthy. And I get that designers are making these boots for people the world over and most are not dealing with heaps of snow. But still. I've slipped multiple times in the rain as well...
After riding on the heel of one shoes down a slight incline, arms flailing wildly one too many times (this week) I decided it was time to get some real winter boots.

Lo...

Man do I ever love them.

Today I'm thankful to be able to go shopping with my mama. It's nice to do things together.
