If I had more money, I would lust after...a beautiful pair of mukluks.

I've always wondered how suede-like leather would hold up in slushy snow. Some of those designs are so lovely. The snow in our region does tend to be drier..but not all the time. But there's a pair that full leather grain. And they are lined for warmth. I would wear a dress coat to work with that too... (Really, I'm past walking with stylish higher boot heel in the winter among rocky ice and snow.)
And I didn't need to look to an off-shore company, for unique winter boots....
