I can confidently say that I am now an expert on snow boots and cold weather gear. For those that don’t know, I grew up in Watertown, New York. Dubbed “Snowtown USA.” After living in Watertown, I spent some time in Syracuse and Rochester… perhaps even colder and snowier climates before moving to Manhattan where believe it or not, I thought it was balmy. 😉
After marrying my husband, Chris, we moved to Texas for 8 years. And several years ago, we moved to Telluride, Colorado where snow and cold are the norm. And, the sidewalks and roads can easily turn into ice rinks!
So… you are getting the point… I know cold. I know how to dress for cold, snowy weather. BUT, as a wardrobe stylist, I also like to look stylish. Even my cold weather gear has to be the perfect mix of fashion and function.
In this post, I want to share my snow boot knowledge, including some city chic weatherproof options to help you keep those tootsies toasty!! If you are like me, as you’ve gotten older, your circulation has gotten worse. Warm shoes and boots are a MUST.

These Are The Best Snow Boots!
You’ve probably seen women on Instagram wearing rain boots with cute socks peeping out as a cute snow outfit. Here’s the scoop…if you want to truly keep your feet warm and dry, that does not work. Rain boots are NOT snow boots! For real snow boots that actually keep your feet warm, go for a stylish waterproof boot with good tread from brands like Sorel, Aquatalia, Columbia, Blondo, La Canadienne, and Ugg.
The things I look for in a great pair of snow boots…1) they have to be waterproof or water-resistant, 2) have great treads 3) be easy to get on and off and 4) bonus if they add some height!

Real snow boots for real life! We cold climateers have more than one pair for different purposes and varying degrees of cold. These give a lot of different options. The right boots matter when you spend half the year in them.
