Whether you love the cold weather or not, if you live in a seasoned state, it may be a good idea to make sure you’re prepared for the snow. One way you can make sure you’re ready to take on even the coldest days is with the proper gear — whether that be fleece-lined leggings, a new winter coat or durable snow boots.
To help you stay warm this winter, we’ve rounded up some great snow boots that any woman would enjoy. Because let’s be honest, before you know it, you’ll be shoveling snow and wishing you had invested in quality boots to do so!
“The benefits of wearing snow boots over, say, a pair of hiking boots or women’s fashion boots are almost too many to list,” Liz Wright, on-snow supervisor at Deer Valley Ski School, told the New York Post. “When shopping for snow boots, you should make sure that you prioritize insulation, tread grip, and waterproof-ness. Look for synthetic materials such as Gortex and/or Thinsulate when shopping.”
Our picks are great for running errands, playing in the snow with your kids, time on the slopes, and so much more.
“If you plan on spending time in the mountains in the winter, you should always have a good (and cute!) pair of snow boots for whatever the weather and terrain throws at you,” Wright adds. “Your feet (and probably your tailbone) will thank you!”
