It is time for new shoes...
This winter has been pretty rough on Osler shoes-- I've had three pairs suffer catastrophic failure in the last few weeks, including a pair of boots I have had for about 20 years that suddenly just gave up and shredded.  
I'm open to suggestions...

				The best shoes I have found for standing and wearing all day are "restaurant worker shoes" which cost about $30 a pair a Walmart, look like good black dress shoes, have non-skid, oil resistant soles, and you can stand in them all day.  Take a good shine easily. Mine look almost identical to the $90 dress shoes I bought just before them.
				
				
			
			
			
				 
				for boots - head to the REI or LLBean on-line catalogues.  I have found some great boots at REI on the dale rack.  YOu might also consider a pair of snow shoes.  I just bought a pair for future use.

				Those look very fetching Prof! On a second thought, since you only buy shoes every twenty years I have to say the Medievalist’s suggestion looks a lot more versatile.
				
				
			
			
			
			
			
				 
				Those Mukluks are very fashionable - moosehide and all.  Definitely need to spend the extra 12.95 for the water repellant spray.
