I've learned the hard way and have walked in over 12" of snow for 4 city blocks in heels...It was nasty....I finally bought 2 pairs of boots and now I won't wear heels again unless there's a gala.
The boots make me feel like a dominant bitch!

Don't wear your heels in the snow, it's a bad idea
I beg to differ!
My wife has a pair boots with 3" heel that she wears regularly walking in snow/ice. The boot was designed with traction in mind.
I think that platforms would be better to rise above the snow!

I think the whole idea of wearing heels is to 1. do what GG's do, 2. look more like a real girl, 3. feel like a real girl. That said, real girls don't wear heels in snow. Well, except for the really stupid ones, anyway. Besides, there are plenty of very pretty boots out there. I liked the ones with long fur all over, as if they are sasquatch feet (can't find a picture). Or mukluks,
Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
If you're just driving, or if there is less than 1/8 inch of snow on the ground, you can wear your pumps. Any more than that and you risk ruining your shoes.
But, do bring a pair of sneakers or warm boots with you even if they are your guy boots, just in case the weatherman is wrong, you get 3"-4" snow, and you get stuck in a snow drift. This has happened to me and I was ever so thankful that I had some comfy, flat, warm yet ugly black boots in the trunk. I was at a wedding. It was clear as could be when I went in the building but when we came out all the cars were buried under snow.

That's a ..rookiemistake!? If you are stuck on high heels then you need to get some high heel boots.

My wife wears heels in the snow all of the time. And so do I :-) I say do what you feel comfortable with.
I wear heels in the snow, a great chance to wear high boots with cute socks and leggings, long coat. Love it!
I wear heels all the time ... except in the snow and ice. I've just learned to accept that in the wintertime, I need to carry a tote bag with an alternate pair of shoes or boots. I change into my heels when I get inside where I'm going, and back into the winter gear before I go outside again. It's a little clumsy carrying both a purse and a bag with shoes in it, but that's just the price of looking good in the wintertime (and keeping my kiester and other body parts intact when negotiating icy sidewalks and parking lots).

That's a major reason why I'm waiting to do any real excursions out until we're past the snow-and-ice part of the year...
I oughta know, too; I had a bad accident with black ice, and I wasn't even wearing heels at the time. I slipped, dislocated my kneecap, and ripped two tendons in my knee that needed surgery to fix. So no wonder I'm a bit wary!

I was out night in flats, but my girl freind was in 5" spikes, slipted on ice and twisted her ankle. Quick end to the night.
That said, I do love walking in fresh snow in heels and looking back at my foot steps. Pointing toes and a hell dot.

Boots are a must have in the winter. Even boots with a heel are better than pumps in the snow. Boots are sexy too, so a double win.
