Our Fave Winter Boots to Keep Your Feet Dry and Warm

Meet Sorel’s do-it-all boots made from leather, suede, and felt, and topped with a faux-fur collar. The rubber bottom grips surfaces so slick conditions won’t be a problem. Plus they’re built for low temps: They’ve got a soft microfleece lining to keep your toes warm while you’re out. One Skimm HQ’r swears by these, saying they feel light on her feet. ($90+, Amazon)

Also made of waterproof leather and suede, these Sorel winter boots give you a bit more leg coverage for walking through seriously snowy terrain. They’ve got the same microfleece lining and faux-fur collar too. Pssst...lots of Skimm HQ’rs ordered one full size up to get the right fit. To account for thicker socks and to be able to slip ‘em on and off with ease, we suggest doing the same. ($143.18+, Amazon)

We rec these for cold, rainy days in cities. They’ll keep your feet dry and warm, but tend to have a bit less traction over ice. So if you need something reliable for your commute and trekking through sidewalk puddles, these are an ideal choice. Don’t forget to check out L.L.Bean’s sizing guide too — they suggest sizing down instead of up. ($249, L.L.Bean)

Another excellent waterproof option, these The North Face winter boots are built to last. If you’re someone who spends lots of time outdoors, this option is great for long wear. Customers love them, noting that they really do keep slush out, so your socks don’t wind up feeling damp. (The worst.) Many love their style too, saying that while they provide great traction and warmth, they also look stylish paired with jeans. ($79.50+, Amazon)

We’re talking more than just a couple inches here and there. They’re ideal to wear after new snowfall, especially if you have a kiddo who’ll have you trekking around. They’re tall enough to keep legs dry and warm, so you don’t have to worry about wearing pants that are waterproof too. They’re also great for hiking and shoveling but won’t feel clunky even with their height. ($114.99, Zappos)

Wet winter days have met their match. These clogs have a stretchy neoprene removable sock that’ll hug your ankle to keep rain out. To keep your feet warm, they’ve got a shearling lining too. Not your go-to in a blizzard, but perfect for a downpour. ($56+, Nordstrom)

Slipping and sliding isn’t much fun when you’re standing on a few inches of ice. These waterproof boots have a Techlite lightweight midsole that’s cushioned and an Omni-Grip rubber outsole for traction. Aka you’ll have support and control. So whether you’re walking one mile or 10, you’ll be prepared. ($99.95, Zappos)

We consider these to be pretty darn cute. They’ve got cheetah-printed faux fur, an insulated body, and a rubber bottom. They’re the winter-ready option that won’t detract from your outfit. ($45.99+, Amazon)

Coming in at a rather low price point, this is an affordable pair that’ll get the job done. They’re not the ideal option if you’re dealing with mounds of snow, but they’re great for drier winter days when you’re looking to get outside for a few hours. We rec them for casual day hikes or long dog walks. Customers love how lightweight they are (but note that if you’re dealing with very wet conditions, you’ll probably want something a bit more durable). ($35.99+, Amazon)

Mini boots, but make them waterproof: The bottoms are rubber and the body is covered in a plastic overlay. The inside is lined with wool that’s made to look and feel like shearling. We love these to keep our feet warm, but wouldn’t rec them for harsh winter conditions. On sunnier days, you can run errands in these without having to suffer from icey toes. ($84.90+, Amazon)

If you’re seeking boots that are weatherproof but don’t make you look like a kid on a snow day, these are the ones. They’re made by Sorel, so you can trust that they’re waterproof and will keep your toes warm on the chilliest of days. Plus, the rubber bottom will keep you from slipping as you’re stomping around. The winter white is so chic. ($180, Free People)

Real talk: Snow boots can be clunky, unwieldy, hard to walk in, and all of the above. These feel like walking around in your favorite Ugg winter boots (thanks to the wool lining that mimics real sherpa), but with a thicker, rubber bottom. Aka we find ourselves not wanting to take them off even when we step out of the cold. The plush top makes them even cozier. ($249.95+, Nordstrom)

Newsflash — these are the definition of cool. We want to sit at their table come lunch (no joke). They have a water-resistant upper and a chunky rubber sole, but, take it from us, they’re insanely comfortable. They look just as good paired with slouchy denim as they do with sporty joggers. Grab the matching pullover, and you’ll fit right in with the popular kids. ($220, Revolve)

Dr. Martens are known for their durability, so this one is no exception. What makes it special is the added sherpa interior for warmth. While the leather outer is not necessarily waterproof, the signature Goodyear welt bottom is. We’d recommend these for really cold days or the aftermath of a snow day. You already know.
