Dudes, just because it’s getting cold and messy outside, it doesn’t mean you need to give up on having stylish footwear. Companies are making boots that are both durable and fantastic looking. There’s no excuse for wearing ugly boots anymore.
Here are some great options to get your feet both rugged and stylish.
A. Suede can be tricky to use in the winter weather, but these have been wax treated to make them weather safe. This style goes with everything.
B. Untamed Street makes very forward thinking designed boots and shoes. These are particularly good in the winter due to their lug soles and high uppers.
C. Danner has been around forever, and their boots last forever, no matter what you throw at them. Go for a classic hiking boot to give that retro vibe. I have a pair, myself!
D. Chelsea boots are a great winter option, because they don't have shoelaces that can collect dirt and grime. Just be sure to get some with a lug sole, so you don't slip in the winter slop.
E. The term “rain boots” can conjure some truly ugly images. However, there are some really cool rain boots out there that you can wear with anything all day. Try a pair of burnt orange, like these, or any with a pop of color. People will appreciate the bold whimsy!
F. If you’re my age and grew up in the North, then you loved Moon Boots. Well … they’re back and cooler than ever. If you live in an area where you are seriously entrenched in a long wintery mess, then why not go all out with Moon Boots? Opt for a pair like this, that have a neutral color and can go with nearly anything.
G. Red Wing logger boots have been trusted by some of the hardest working men and women for decades. There’s nothing you can throw at them that they can’t handle. Wear them with your favorite jeans and look like the toughest guy in town.
H. Let's not forget the coolest of the cool ... the Combat Boot. Military style boots are the best combination of form and function. They're always tough and always look good.
You now have all the resources you need to make sure your feet are warm, dry, and stylish this winter.
