Have a pair of tall straight black boots, low and wide heel, with a bit of gold trim at top. I need to wear boots..walk along a stretch of road to work that has no sidewalks and there are trucks. So sometimes I do walk through the snowbanks.

Have had these boots for past 5 years...and many men compliment me on them. To them, it looks like English riding boots.

I love them because they are so walkable across ice, snow and I have to wear customized orthotics to walk any appreciable distance.
