Question: What is the ruling on wiping over the shoes during the cold?
Answer: Shoes that do not cover ankles are not permitted to wipe over. It is not permitted to wipe over anything which doesn't cover the entire foot - if it doesn't cover the entire area of obligatory washing. Footwear that the ankles cannot be seen, otherwise such footwear would not take the same name as a "Khuff", and wiping has been legislated over (what is similar to) the Khuff and not over shoes (that does not cover the ankle).
