They are just Aldens for crying out loud. Wear them. Wear them anywhere and everywhere.

You all need to go get yourselves a few more pairs

Now, this is only a suggestion...I am not saying that it is right for your lifestyle or if it goes well with a backpack.

Again, a suggestion only, because we all care.

I would suggest adding a nail or two for traction, but that appears to only make the problem worse:

Wearing longwings with a backpack?

No wonder you fell. Forward balance can be achieved with a robust wool and tie scarf set (may I suggest the rare 49 1/2 oz Harrisons' gunclub).

Either that or try this:

Look, let's not let this thread degenerate into ridicule.

Why don't we keep solutions to shoes, shall we?

Thanks.

OP, just get a second pair of Alden longwings, like so:

Foo has several duplicate pairs of longwings just for such a purpose.

You'll need to keep your knees bent, but this will allow a swift, frog-like motion on the snow and ice that will render your usual modes of public transportation unnecesary.

I just remember some falls I had down the stairs - please immediately disregard this suggestion.

A less messier solution:

I would say get a dedicated snow shoe or get something like SWIMs, so you can get better grip.

I have one of those (she's in the avi), and I can assure you that they're considerably more costly than breast implants.

Children are NOT cheaper than breast implants.

+1...as much as I love wearing leather sole footwear, when snow or ice build up is on the ground, common sense should prevail...smile.gif
