My main problem is when it's cold I don't want to wear any shoes without socks. The cold just kills my ankles! Then it creeps up to the rest of me.
The part of Washington I live in rains---cold rain--- a lot. I went searching for something that wouldn't get my feet wet, can hold up to rain, and keeps me warm and toasty with plenty of support.
I found leather uggs. There hard to find. I believe it's the "brooks" style. They have wonderful lining, and great support. Mine are dark brown leather, and have held up great. I wear them constantly for 3 years and they're even better now. They even look good with khakis for work every now and again if I'm having a tough day.
Also... look at palladium. I think I spelled that right? They have great flats with elastic straps on the top. The flats have great support. Plus they come in super cute patterns. I always get compliments on mine. They don't look too stylish on the website, but they are so cute and go with everything. I've never found any other flats that have such great support and fit with being cute. I found some dark brown ones at DSW on clearance for $10 so you may want to check there (dsw.com I believe)
