winter shoes

ridiculous footwear foisted upon us this winter:

1. suede and/or fur snow boots (EEEDGIOTS!!)
2. "peep-toe" slingbacks or pumps (the very *term* for the shoe suggests it's shortcoming as a winter shoe; your freaking toe *peeps* out into the bitter cold. why have these been marketed the hell out of all winter? why?!)

i would like some pumps with a wedge heel. (are they still called pumps then?) but i can't find any that are not "peep-toe." it infuriates me that they make something so insidious sound so cute. aawww, they're "peeping." eff you, shoe industry! and why didn't you make ankle boots this year either?
