Functional and Stylish Snow Boots

Winter usually means two things in the fashion department: layers and sturdy footwear. And let’s face it—neither looks cute nor remotely stylish.

When the weather gets ugly, the challenge of dressing well while trying to not freeze to death is real. And it can be even more difficult if you are about to head off for a few days of skiing in the mountains. Choosing which footwear to pack can become an arduous task resembling a real-life version of Tetris.



The answer is: Choose boots that multitask. If you are anything like me, you probably have a daytime pair of not-so-pretty snow boots that under no circumstances see the interior of a nice restaurant or a bar. This is what your other pair of nice leather boots are for, right?! We get it, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

Instead, opt for a boot that’s rain- and snow-proof and still chic enough for walking straight from the slopes to dinner without thinking twice.


We've rounded up 15 pairs that prove you don’t have to sacrifice comfort over style.

This boot has everything you’d wish for in a winter shoe—the foam-based 8-layer insulation means more warmth, comfort, and better fit, so you can hike all you want during the day without worry about getting cold feet (literally, of course). The auburn color and D-ring lacing give these boots a distinctly cool look.
