The duxbury's look fine enough, but don't seem like what I'd want to wear in snow. I didn't see anything that said waterproof or similar, but I admittedly just glanced at the description

I'd probably get some snow boots...

or at least some of those goretex lined merrills. Neither of those pairs is going to be any better than wearing loafers with thick socks.

a pair of comfortable slip on moccasins or loafers to keep under my desk at the office.
slip out of boots and into office shoes then back again to go home.

I had a paid of tall slip on Bass snow boots for a few years
Dec 11, 2018, 2:15 PM

they were warm, waterproof, and pretty #### comfortable...
however, since they were kinda loose above the ankle once they were one, all the movement would inevitably cause my socks to slide down and bunch up under the arch of my foot.
that was a deal-breaker, and they were sold @ a garage sale.

they are so tight around the ankle that I had to wedge them between the door and the door facing to get them off. I pulled a hamstring trying to use a boot remover thingy.
They are warm, they are dry, they are a Pain in my ###

You know what Carville said about PA - "Pittsburgh on one side, Philly on the other, and Alabama in between" - true fact.

if you're lucky a volunteer fire department will have a chicken and waffles dinner while you're up there - prepare to pack on the pork.

a single pair? i had 3 pairs. a pair of snow shoes for just

everyday getting around in the 1/2-1" of nuisance snow. I had some Keen high tops for the "hmm. this is actually what 4" of snow" looks like snow. These are also now my cold weather and/or rain boots for down here. And then, finally, I had some knee high (hold on, it's not as sexy as it sounds) wool lined Sorels for the "I'm not getting caught in a blizzard again with the proper attire" boots. The last ones I only wore once. The others, I rotated through often during a couple of the seasons I was there when we got a lot of snow/had a good bit a snow pack during the Polar Vortex. A lot of times, I had to trade out when I got home at night. Let one pair dry out.
Of course, I walked A LOT. either walked, rode the bus (thus walked to a bus stop) or rode my bike to work every day. so that made a difference.

lady try to get around in downtown State College with them (or something similar on)
the only time I didn't bike is when I knew there would be big patches of ice on the trail. Cold, light snow, or light rain, I was good. I didn't have a parking pass for campus until 6 months before I left. I stayed in pretty good shape back then.
random fact, btw - i biked past joepa's house on my way to work every day.
