Winter has arrived and boots are a must for most people, especially women. Although the goal is to keep the feet warm, why should we sacrifice style in the name of warmth? Why can’t we have them both? There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing boots that will keep our feet warm. There are also a few brands that are popular and quite stylish without sacrificing warmth and safety.

The last thing you want is cold, wet feet. Those that live in regions where snow is inevitable or those that simply love to hit the ski slopes, finding a perfect snow boot is mandatory. First, snow boots must be waterproof. Next, pick a snow boot that has a rubber sole. This will help aid in providing traction and limit slips and falls.

Sorel’s Joan of the Arctic boot is perfect for snowy conditions. It meets all of the standards in keeping your feet warm and safe. It was voted the best stylish boot to wear in the snow during the 2011 winter season. This waterproof snow boot comes up to about mid-calf. It is lined with faux fur and has a lace up panel to create a perfect fit for anyone’s foot and calf. The sole of the boot is made from leather and synthetic rubber to make it skid resistant. The price of Sorel’s Joan of the Arctic boot varies depending upon where you buy them. However, the average price is around $130.00 and is worth every penny.

One popular boot for dealing with icy conditions is the Pajar Laverne boots. It has a biker flair to it as it comes up to just below the knee. What is unique about these boots is that it has its own patented multi-layer insulating system which will definitely keep your precious feet warm this winter. Pajar Laverne boots come in a variety of styles and typically black or brown. Pricing ranges from $120.00 to a little over $200.00 depending upon where your shop.

Winter is always wet and dreary. If it isn’t snow you have to deal with, it is rain or slushy conditions. Just like the snow boots, you need a boot that is slip resistant and waterproof. A boot with a rubber sole and skid resistant treads are a must in slippery weather. A good rain boot is generally made from leather, nylon, or a combination of the two. Also consider the lining. Having a fleece for faux fur lining will keep your feet warm and dry.

Duck boots have been dubbed the boots that are ‘so ugly that they are cute’. Over the last few years, duck boots are becoming increasingly popular. Many popular brands, such as Tommy Hilfiger
