Are wedge boots really all that practical for the snow?

I'm from Miami, and we're going on a ski trip in Vermont for my senior trip. (We're renting the ski boots/pants/equipment etc.)





I am totally unused to cold, and my feet seem to hate socks since I sweat like noone's business. And I actually despise the cold, but I got out-voted for the trip...so yeah...





Anyways, are the cute wedge boots practical for the snow and sidewalks and stuff around the lodge area? I really don't feel like falling on my ***. But I don't want to get any horribly ugly boots, since I don't exactly have a big reason to get boots in the first place so they better be cute for the few times I DO decide to venture North.





And I'm really short (5'1) so I'm not exactly liking the idea of wearing flat boots, after the height takes away most of my leg length and makes me look stubbier.

Sorry, but wedge boots can be dangerous. Sidewalks and roads can be icy and it would ruin your vacation if you fell and broke your head open or something. Don't worry about being unfashionable, because most people will be wearing flat boots. Have fun! :)
Reply:no. wear flats
Reply:yeah , just do a lower wedge , i live in the chicago suburbs and i see ppl wearing those kinds of boots all the time
Reply:I live in a place that gets lots of snow and all my boots are wedges. They work just fine. The only trick is to look at the bottom and make sure they have some traction. But yeah I wear them every day and we have 4 feet here. Good Luck. Have fun on your trip.
