Winter shoes?

[Silverlady]

Do any of you have suggestions for winter shoes for someone with narrow feet and ultrasensitive feet? I need them for the trip to Mayo. I live in Texas and the weather is never very bad here. We are driving to Mayo and I'm afraid the weather will be wet/snowy.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Have you checked out the Ugg's? I find the fleece and thick rubber to feel like a slipper.

Hi Liza Jane,
Yes I ordered two pair of Uggs and received them today. Super comfortable, but I have extremely narrow feet and they slipped up and down on this AAA heel of mine. I have to send them both back. (ordered 2 sizes to try. If anyone orders them, they run about a full size large) Anyway, if I can't find something similar in a narrow size, I'll have to order a different size. I'm still looking and open to suggestions.
Thanks for the help.

Aw, too bad. My feet are very wide, with a narrow heel, and they're the best fit I've found in a winter boot.
Here's another suggestion:

"Grabbers" are little pads that heat up. I buy them by the dozen, and put them in my shoes in the morning on cold days and they last a lot of hours.
If your feet get very cold, they might be useful.

Great idea, Liza Jane! Toe Warmers, wow!! My toes haven't been warm in 2 years and all I've been able to stand to wear is sandals. Not a good combo. How thick are the warmers? Will they fit inside a boot if I have to buy a soft leather pair?

My beauty operator told me today (yeah, I got a haircut, no dog tags necessary) that she was in Northern Iowa last year about the same time I'll be at Mayo. She took shoes similar to my walking shoes...backless tennis shoes. Snowed 3 inches while she was there. Had to make a quick trip to buy snow boots which are never used in this part of the country.

Still looking for soft boots.
