Black ice, snow, and slush don't discriminate when it comes to their prey. That's why you won't catch me in the Winter elements without my seasonal armor: top-of-the-line slip-resistant boots.
Created with foot traction and stability in mind, they're all you need to opt out of the classic banana peel slip-and-fall bit this winter.
To spare us all and ensure good health this season, I've curated some of the most practical and stylish Winter boots to shop now.
Sorel Joan of Arctic Next Boot
Sorel is introducing a new sole, featured on their Sorel Joan of Arctic Next Boot ($250), designed to increase foot traction. If that's not enough reason to love this modern Winter shoe, its lightweight material, waterproof leather, comfortable fit, and insulation technology is.
Columbia Bugaboot Plus IV Omni-Heat 200g Waterproof Winter Boots
The nonslip Omni-Grip technology used throughout the Columbia Bugaboot Winter Boots ($145) makes them a must-buy, especially due to the antislip and abrasion-resistant build of the Michelin (yes, as in the car tire brand) outsole grips.
Dr. Martens Women's 1460 Serena Wyoming Lined Winter Boots
Opt for a more casual style that's still reliable on icier days with these Dr. Martens 1460 Serena Wyoming Lined Winter Boots ($145). The grooved outside soles are durable and have great traction thanks to their slip- and abrasion-resistant design.
Ugg Adirondack III Boot
Ugg seemingly thought of everything when they created their Adirondack III Boot ($250). For starters, the shoe's dual-density sole was created with stability and support in mind — not to mention, the molded outsole was optimised for maximum traction and is advertised to stay flexible in freezing temperatures.
The North Face Yukiona Mid Boot
The North Face's Yukiona Mid Boot ($160) is yet another buy that checks off all our boxes. We can get behind a shoe that features firmer-density soles for stability and temperature-sensitive rubber lugs for increased traction.
