The best winter boots you can buy to keep your feet warm this season
Now that winter is around the corner, the inevitability of snow and slush is becoming a hard truth. Sure, winter wonderlands are part of what makes the season so magical, but keeping your toes warm is part of that magic too. For that, it’s important to have at least one pair of apocalypse-proof boots that will stand the test of winter’s wrath and keep your feet dry during these cold months.
For days with heavy snow, rain, or slush, swap out your favorite everyday boots for ones that are weatherproof. Look for pairs that have chunky rubber soles to get better traction and prevent slipping, waterproof materials that will wick away snow and rain, insulation to keep your feet warm, and—for booties—laces that allow you to adjust fit to prevent snow from finding its way to your socks and toes.
