3. Maroon Suede Converse One Stars
If you’re slogging through snow all day long, platforms are the perfect solution to soggy toes. Depending on how wet it is any form of sneaker may be too thin, but these ones are worth a try.

The darker fabric will mask any staining from salty, dirty snow and keep your outfits looking put-together all year-round.

These classy black loafers are the best way to dress up any outfit; they’re chic and professional, but still fun. The platform helps to keep your feet warm.
