The Best Shoes For Winter
I literally went to bed in late September, woke up and what do you know, it’s already winter. It’s freezing out there, quite literally freezing and my shoes are not holding up! So what are the best shoe choices for these winter months when the rains come down and the snow also threatens to make an appearance?
Of course as with any shoe choice, you want to put comfort first. You can get good solid winter boot that are still easy to walk long distances in. Often a waterproof boot can be quite stiff, so make sure you opt for something that feels like it will soften. Stiff or hard leather boots can be supportive but a little too much so and you will end up feeling like you’re dragging lead weights around are you’ve walk for an hour or so.
Waterproof is the name of the game as winter arrives, though likelihood is you realised that in autumn. If you walk to work or like to continue to stroll even in bad weather, then you will need a waterproof boot or shoe. Hunter wellies are a great option if you walk short distances as you can usually tuck in your trousers and swap to a pair of slip ons once you get to your destination. You are absolutely guaranteed with wellies to stay dry. If you don’t want to be carrying around spare shoes and wellies aren’t a suitable option for work or play, then there are lots of waterproof shoes on the market that still look either professional or partylike! If you’re thinking strappy, then you’re out of luck and the term ‘put some clothes on woman’ comes to mind!
Remember when choosing a winter shoe to opt for something with great tread. Ice and snow can be treacherous and the best way to avoid a fall is to buy a shoe with good grip that won’t slip on ice.
Luckily, more and more shoe retailers understand that we still want to look stylish in these winter months. You can now get your hands on the best winter shoes that will still let you look fabulous!
