9 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 winter boots sure to keep your toes warm, dry and comfortable.
Propet Lumi Lace
Propet Lumi Lace
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. A happy Zappos customer endorses the Propet Lumi Lace:
“I’m particular about fit and these are great. I have bunions & so 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. I ordered 8.5W and they are plenty roomy with thick socks.”
Find the Propet Lumi Lace in sizes 6-12, medium to extra-wide widths for $109.95 from Zappos, Amazon, and Walking Co.
Bogs Whiteout Faded

We love Bogs customer Katelyn’s review of their popular Whiteout boot:
“I bought these for an engagement trip to Alaska. We live in NC so I have a low cold tolerance and didn’t want cold wet feet to ruin such an important trip! 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!”
