Stepping Out in the Best Winter Boots

You’ve got your winter coat, you’ve got your hat and gloves…but do you have your boots? Yes, we know you prefer to never leave the house without your beloved Louboutins, but we’re pretty sure ol’ Christian himself would cringe at the thought of you trying to navigate ice patches and drizzling rain in six-inch heels. Investing in a great pair of winter boots isn’t just smart and safe—it’s also stylish, considering the hot styles on offer this season. Check out our favorites below.

London Fog Wales: Move over, Hunter! These slick waterproof boots sport a fashion-conscious sliver wedge heel, cozy microfur lining, and a glossy patent-like sheen. Perfect for a drab rainy day.

Rachel Comey Suede Stamp Platform Pull On Boot: A wood platform gives this tall suede number an artistic boost. 

Loeffler Randall Ivy Snap Boot: This sleek Italian-made boot sports four gold snaps down the side for a little extra oomph. So sophisticated over skinny jeans.  

Dolce Vita Zip Short Bootie: Mix it up with a brown suede bootie, which can work with jeans or a dress and tights.

Ugg Swell Tall Boot: The squatty, marshmallow-y pink Uggs may have met their style expiration date, but we can’t help resisting this sleeker model. Note the cute boho trim!

Vigotti Maddy Slouch Boot: This stacked-heel slouch boot doesn’t compromise on comfort; the boot features a no-slip rubber sole, so you can strut safely.

Marc Fisher Venture Wedge Boot: This wear-anywhere boot boasts stylish black suede material, a flirty wedge heel, and a buckle detail to keep your style on solid ground.

Frye Carmen Triple Strap Boot: When it comes to dependably chic and durable boots, you can’t go wrong with Frye. We like this multi-strapped version—classic with a twist.

Aldo Lafarge Boot: This cuffed suede boot—available in black or brown—is practical for dealing with winter weather conditions, yet retains a fun, fashionable edge.
