Are there any cool stylish city snow shoes?

Snowy NYC
My bedroom window today
The big apple has its first snow storm of the season....its white, fluffy and anowy everywhere which is fun but the biggest problem with that (at list for me) is what shoes do you wear to go out??? Shoes/boots for snow are probably the hardest to find....actually let me rephrase this sentense - STYLISH city shoes/boots for snow are almost imposible to find! The reason is....there are barely any. I'm not really sure why but snow shoes (just like down coats) that will protect you from the snow and will still keep you stylish are something that brands just don't care for....yes i know that Canada Goose coats (you should have seen yesterday how stores were selling them like cupcakes...) and Sorel snow boots are everywhere and everyone have them and treats them as if they are the most stylish items out there (did anyone seriously thought that Ugg were stylish???)...but come on now let's face it they are perfect for this weather no doubt about that but they under no circumstances look good! They are bulky and make even the skinniest person look like a blimp with potatoes as feet and the colors they are offered in are just horrid (or at list for men cause i have seen some women's that are not bad)! And no i don't believe that they have to look like that, they can absolutely be designed to look more stylish and cool....So after ranking for a little bit here are my solution (which i will admit took a little while to find), featured shoes  in this post you will be able to comfortably wear for a snow storm in the city and keep your style COOL!
Timberland has a couple of nice not too bulky and colorful options: 
I really like these....

Ralph Lauren collection for team USA

New York city streets wore white this morning as if having a welcome ceremony to the upcoming Winter Olympic games (This Friday the 12th).... Fifth avenue looked like a ski slope, Union square was ready for some cross country skiing competition and every sky scraper looked like a ski mountain....everything was covered in a soft, bright white snow..... just beautiful and purifying! I'm not a fan of the winter, but i will admit.... the snow part is kind of cool! So, as i was flipping through WWD and putting on my snow boots (from Keen) i saw the uniforms for the US Olympic team designed by Ralph Lauren. I'm not a big fan of the RL style but there is no doubt that RL is a true American brand and it seemed only natural for this brand to to get the call for this job! ...and I think they did a great one, simple, classic, all American athletic look..... on the money! (well...except for the knit hats with the moose print.... i mean come on...Christmas was almost 2 months ago.... and even though i know its very trendy now i just CAN NOT stand those type of patterns.....).
The line is available for all on the Ralph Lauren site and stores, and includes down jacket, chunky wool/cashmere knit sweater, beautiful classic merino wool shawl cardigan (my favorite), a white cozy pima cotton fleece pant, some down vests and a bunch of other tees, hoodies, boots, ties and hats, all off course in the patriotic color scheme of red, blue, and white, decorated by the team USA's official logo and the pony Polo logo.
So go and shop to be inspired, relax on your couch and let the games begin........

The snow rover from keen

I have been looking forever now for the perfect winter boots…..I love shoes and especially boots and every year when winter is here I’m facing the same issue of finding a cool looking casual winter boots to wear with jeans and a dressier winter boots to wear with pants. While the last ones are really hard to find the first ones where much easier - The Snow rover from KEEN ($150) makes a great casual snow boot made of Leather and canvas upper and faux shearling lining they combine fashion and function in a winter boot. KEEN.WARM insulation keeps cold from seeping in. The dual climate rubber outsole hardens in extreme cold to bite into packed snow. The KEEN.DRY waterproof barrier keeps the weather on the outside for lasting performance. Available in 2 color ways dark shadow/warm olive and Potting soli/silver mink (in picture) which is the only down side about these great shoes……why not offering some kind of a grey/charcoal/ version as well???? btw they are available for women as well so here is your chance to keep your lady’s feet warm and dry as well…..
