12 Pairs of Snow Boots That Are Both Practical and Stylish
It's cold out there
If you've always believed that the words 'snow boots' and 'chic' can't be used in the same sentence, think again. With even colder weather forecast for the coming weeks and blankets of snow headed our way, there's no time like the present to invest in a pair of weather-appropriate boots that don't completely betray your personal style—and I've rounded up the very best.
Whether you're staying in the UK for the start of the year or heading on a skiing holiday, you'll very likely need a pair of snow boots to navigate the icy pavements or slopes in at some point. And they might as well be pretty.
But do not be fooled, that doesn't mean you have to compromise on comfort or technology. Unlike regular winter boots, snow boots require some extra features to ensure they can perform in slippery conditions—think grippy soles and appropriate insulation for sub-zero temperatures.
Our edit of snow boots includes styles made with a plethora of fabrics and materials that will keep your feet warm, dry and with a good grip to avoid any falls—with options at every budget. Go down the luxury route to see you to the office, or go somewhere in the middle with UGG and Moon Boots for a retro-inspired slopeside look.
From the ideal pair to polish off your neutral winter outfits to knee-highs that capture this season's biggest boot trends, I've rounded up the cold weather investment pieces that you will turn to year after year to protect against the elements.
