8 Sensational Snow Boots Surround Feet in Comfort and Warmth

Growing up in Indianapolis in the seventies, we didn’t just get snow, we got blizzards–a few famous ones at that.  My best memories include waiting to hear our district mentioned in the long list of school cancellations, then heading out to sled all day, returning at dusk to mom’s hot cocoa. The grand fun of the day overshadowed the snow boots fiasco…thankfully. Those ridiculous over-the-shoe rubber boots with impossible buckles only impeded my carefree spirit and did little to protect my feet from cold and near-frostbite. Snow boots have come a long way baby, and we’re here to share our favorites. We’ve found eight stylish and comfortable winter boots sure to keep your toes warm, dry and comfortable.

I ordered my normal size as suggested, removed the insole that came with it and added my own orthotic and the fit was perfect. Easy to lace up with lots of room for my toes. And they don’t bother the neuroma I have in one of my feet. Nancy, Xero customer

If you’re a fan of minimalist “barefoot” footwear, you’ll love the Xero Alpine boot. Featuring a wide foot-shaped toe box, zero drop (non-elevated) sole, and 200g insulation rated to rated to -25°/-32°C.

Check out all the specs at XeroShoes.com. Find in whole and half sizes 5-12 for $159.99 from XeroShoes.com and Amazon.

I love Sorel not just for their styling. The removable insole is a great help to me as I am a 9N and the 9M works well with my purchased orthotic. Very comfortable and so stylish! -Zappos customer

I don’t know about you, but as I age I want a easy-to-slip-on snow boot without all the fuss of lacing. Plus, the Sorel Kinetic Impact Puffy boot just looks sweet! What are customers saying about this waterproof bootie with 300g insulation?

The Sorel Kinetic Impact Puffy waterproof boot is available in sizes 5-12 for $160 from Sorel, Amazon, Zappos and Nordstrom.

“The treads are amazing and I had no trouble with my winter walking. I feel quite secure when I’m walking on the snow. They are sooo comfortable, I feel like I’m wearing runners. I usually wear ladies’ size 9 but ordered 9 1/2 to accommodate my orthotics.” Merrell customer

Do you like to hike in the winter? I sure do! Nature does a wonder for my mindset. But finding the right boot isn’t so easy. But the Merrell Antora 3 gets high marks for comfort, warmth, support and traction! Order up a half size for best fit. Available in sizes 5-11 for $139-160 from Merrell, Amazon, and Zappos.

“I bought these for an engagement trip to Alaska. After doing my research, and asking a few Alaskans themselves, I found these and am so glad I did! I paired them with wool socks and my feet stayed warm and dry no matter what conditions I threw at them. The night we got engaged, we went Aurora spotting on a mountaintop outside Fairbanks and didn’t get home until 4am. When we got back into town, the temperature in Fairbanks was -29! The whole time, these boots kept my feet happy. The traction was also fantastic and kept me upright even in the slippery snow and ice. They were the best purchase of this trip!”

We love Bogs customer Katelyn’s review of their popular Whiteout boot. Find the Bogs Whiteout boot in sizes 6-12 for $115-160 from BogsFootwear.com, Zappos and Amazon.

I’m particular about fit and these are great. I have bunions & am fussy about boots that don’t pinch across my forefoot and/or will stretch into shape eventually. Plus I wear orthotic inserts and they need to accommodate them. -Zappos customer

Just because you have big or extra-wide feet or both doesn’t mean you have to wear stodgy snow boots. Look at these cuties by Propet! The Lumi Lace makes our list of best snow boots because it comes in sizes up to 12 and is available in medium, wide and extra-wide widths–how wonderful.

Find the Propet Lumi Lace in sizes 6-12, medium to extra-wide widths for $109.95 from Zappos, Propet Amazon, and Walking Co.

This one’s a winner for hard-to-fit feet. The waterproof Orthofeet Alps comes with an orthotic-quality insole but is removable should you want to add your own. A wide and high toe box accommodates bunions and hammertoes. Side zippers make for easy on and off. Available in whole and half sizes 5-12, medium to extra-wide widths for $119.95 from Orthofeet.com, Zappos and Amazon.

There’s a reason Columbia brings back the lightweight Ice Maiden snow boot year after year–it does what it says it’ll do: keep your feet toasty warm, dry and cushioned. The fit is true and the price is right. We love that it comes in half sizes up to Find the Columbia Ice Maiden II whole and half sizes 5 to 12, medium and wide widths. Available for $79.90 from Zappos, Columbia.com, and Amazon.
