Traveling West for work. What do men do about dress shoes and snow? I don’t want to ruin nice leather shoes with snow/salt/etc. Bean boots look weird with suit

Wear boots, bring dress shoes, change in office. Literally everyone does this.

I wax my leather boots in the wintertime. It helps protect them from damage and being overly worn. Granted we get more rain than snow, but it snows occasionally

Dress boots or generally I wear Tingey overshoes or Swims galoshes. They are rubber covers that fit over your regular dress shoes to protect them from the elements.

Snow? Sounds terrible. Move somewhere with nicer weather

Where are you going?

Here are your options:

1) Bean boots
2) Dress shoes and just Uber/go somewhere without slush
3) Dress shoes with those weird plastic covers
4) Dress boots (I typically do this), especially if they have some form of waterproofing on them

Everyone understands, you won't be the only person dealing with the snow.

Yep! Client meetings. Not from a snowy spot so don’t want to invest in snow boots. May just wear some shoes that I don’t care for and change in the lobby

I use waterproof wax on work boots/chukkas

I have a black pair of Rockport Chukka boots that are waterproof - with a slight shine on it works great for nearly all purposes up here in the Northeast. Rockport also sells waterproof formal dress shoes, but when talking about snow and slush the ankle height is definitely nice on the boots.

Dress boots with vibram soles

Sorels for me every day in winder. I change into my work shoes when I get to the lobby.

I have been told not to bill for this but if I didn't have to spend time to do such things my billable hours would be higher

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?
