There is at least one DSW in my city. I have never been there, but I should go sometime soon.  
 
If I am outdoors (such as walking to the pool in my complex), I don't sniffle. But indoors with the AC on, I do. I even wear socks inside my house all the time.

 Either like a teenager in Catholic school or an older woman.  Either way, they're not really fitting for a 20-something young professional woman.
DSW is awesome.  Head straight to the clearance rack.  Really great shoes- you can get great deals! I've gotten $120 shoes for $20, and other great designer shoes really cheap. 
There's a lot of shoes out there that could keep your tootsies warm and still look in style and age and profession appropriate.
I can sympathize- I get cold easily too, and if i'm sitting around (like even last night in the freezing AC in my hotel room) my feet can get cold too.  I always wear hose in the office, and that's enough to keep them warm.  I understand lots of Florida girls have an aversion to hose, but it helps and it's still professional.  
Maybe you need to get up and walk around more on the job? I don't know how much time you're at a desk versus on your feet walking around.  Get the blood flowing, warm you up.
