skinny (white) hightops that can last a wisconsin winter?

[colin]

winter's coming up and the snow will soon fall. right now I dont really have anything appropriate for handling these conditions. I go to college so I do a lot of damn walking. I kind of hate boots so I was wondering if there were any skinny chuck-taylor-esque high-mid tops that are comfortable and maybe a bit warmer; and wont be destroyed in the snow.

Haha, I am also a student at Madison and have basically had the same problem you have. Last year I bought a pair of those "shepra" chuck taylors:

Now i know they're not white, and certainly not everyones cup of tea, but hey they're super warm. Just go check out Jacks Shoes on state street - they have a pretty big selection of Chuck Taylors.

Good Luck!

[norcal]

tretorns aren't going to keep you any warmer than regular chucks...just wear double socks...

just get army boots ...

I also go to Madison. I dont have any experience with chucks, but I think you would need something more waterproof for those sloppy slushy days. However I would get the chucks anyways. Personally, I like them more than normal chuck taylors.

PF Flyers Grounders have a much sturdier sole than Chucks...better traction too. Get them in leather; that should do the trick.
