Hmmm....

Just checked Twitter and we have a special weather advisory of 1-2 inches of snow between today and Sunday. Fortunately I have these now. They're just a bit tight in the toe area, which is odd, as they are extra wide, but I think they will stretch a bit.

Yes, they are aggressively purple, even more so in better light. And shiny. Definitely shiny. I could have gotten black, of course, but you know me, if purple's an option, I'll go with it. :) But this way I can trudge through snow and not have to spend a lot of money on Birks that may or may not work, and just take my current Birks to work in my backpack to actually wear at work and other places.
