Seasonal snow, ice and freezing temperatures drive women in Minnesota to make atrocious shoe selections. I’ve tried to maintain some sense of style and resist bad shoes with a modest collection of what I call my “big girl” shoes, stylish pumps and sandals that say my ankles are still strong and my ballerina balance is still intact.
