10 Stylish boots for a winter that means business
These chic pairs are made for walking — on ice.
While you may be very, very over this winter already, sadly, we're only a few weeks into it. Most of the country has been in a deep freeze for weeks already, and we still have a lot of winter to get through. This is definitely the year to get some warm boots—toasty toes makes the stress of the chill a tiny bit easy to bear.
Where winter boots of yore were heavy and clunky, thankfully there are stylish options on the market. Some have even been spotted on your fave street style stars and celebrities—Kim Kardashian West, Kate Hudson and Elle MacPherson among them.
Here are 10 chic options that you'll actually want to wear while you're trudging through the snow.
Sneaker madness
They look like runners, but these faux fur-lined kicks are waterproof and cold weather rated—all the way down to -24 C.
