Brrr. That pretty much sums up how we - and our toes - are feeling right now. Since it pays to be prepared when temperatures dip below freezing, what might help, as well as a big winter coat to bundle up inside, is a toasty pair sheepskin boots. (Just typing that sentence makes me feel warmer and fuzzier inside.) The best news is that because you'll probably only wear them for a few weeks every year when the weather is truly glacial, they'll be something of a forever-purchase.
