What customers are saying: “Very comfortable shoes, warm and practical for winter weather. The grip is good on snow and ice, and the material feels durable. Overall I’m satisfied with the purchase.”

As a trusted brand for decades, the classic aesthetic and practical features are standout selling points for the Sorel Tivoli boot. A gripped sole so you won’t slip, a pre-waterproofed exterior, and a warm, cozy interior are all reasons to invest, and it includes a 1-year guarantee.

We love a textural moment when it comes to fashion detailing, and this quilted bootie from The North Face is practical too. Featuring the brand’s signature down warmth, both the ripstop upper and rubber sole have been weatherproofed for supremely practical wear.

Size Range: 5.5–15

Colors: black, mushroom grey, summit gold

Materials: polyester ripstop upper, down fill, rubber sole

What customers are saying: “Purchased for cold weather. They’re stylish, warm, & comfortable. They’re true to size, but I’ll have to wear thick socks because my feet are narrow. I ordered the 1996 retro Nupste to wear with them. Will wear with leggings & jeans.”

Blending aspects of both sport and style gives this lace-up boot extra edge. Not only is this Chelsea boot trend-forward, it also has a genuine shearling lining for extra warmth. No cold toes here!

Another slip-on style, L.L.Bean’s take on a winterized Chelsea boot blends function with a stylish silhouette. Featuring a cool lug-sole and seam detailing for fashion-forward appeal, winter’s ever-changing weather is no match for this adventure-ready style. It’s also completely waterproof.

Size Range: 6–11

Colors: black, saddle, taupe

Materials: nubuck upper, polyurethane insole, rubber outsole

What customers are saying: “I had been looking for a Chelsea boot that could hold up to wet and dirt, but wasn’t so heavy that it was constantly slipping off my heel. This fit the bill perfectly and held up to long travel days with a heavy backpack. Also has removable insoles and enough room in the toe that putting a more robust insole in was no problem.”

You can count on Keen to always offer functional styles that work with the elements, but this slip-on boot is also environmentally-friendly. The premium leather upper is certified by the Leather Working Group, then lined with recycled fibers for extra warmth–not to mention all the weather-proofed detailing, making them worth the investment.

They also have plenty of grip for icy sidewalks. I find they are easy to pair with everything from trouser pants to sweater dresses on a commute, without looking too out of place when I get to my destination.”

You already count on Hunter for rain gear, and the brand makes excellent snow boots, too. We love the lace-up look of the Sussex boot, which is 100 percent waterproof and features added insulation inside (all the way up to the toes!) for ultimate winter warmth. They’re cute enough to be styled with jeans and sweaters for a snowy weekend brunch.
