Thank you Heidi for the link. What beautiful shoes!

for as long as i can remember in my past shod life i suffered from unbearably cold feet all winter long, even my beloved thick wooly socks failed to completely warm me. last winter, after my first few months of dedicated barefootedness, i capitulated to the cold and took to wearing my fleecy sheepskin slippers everywhere rather than put on a pair of real shoes. found out why they're called slippers: goddam' totally inapropriate for walking on wet surfaces and i took several exhilerating, magical slides across the pavement ending up flat on my ass on hard wet surfaces in full public view. this winter i've been [mostly] sticking to hardcore shoelessness. i get a lot of folks asking in amazement if my feet aren't cold and i'm happy to reply in the negative. i figure a year and a half of freedom has improved the circulation in my feet so much that they can now withstand the temperatures and in fact they get nice and rosy-hued when the weather is chill. also much more secure footing, nothing beats a good toe grip on those slippery when wet surfaces.

take care-
