If you’re serious about keeping your feet dry and warm during another humid, subtropical winter, this season’s shoe shopping spree may as well begin with the purchase of snow boots. With their futuristic, often bright-colored designs, this year’s snow boots are practical and eye-catching.

How to buy snow boots

Snow boot designs are inspired by skiing fashion, with extra-warm lining and canvas on the outside. Only buy a pair if you really need the extra warmth.

How to match snow boots

Since snow boots are chunky, loose trousers make the wearer’s legs look somewhat over-upholstered. As a general rule of thumb, leggings and stockings are both safe bets. And because most snow boots come in bold colors, a dose of restraint is recommended when it comes to coordinating them with the rest of your outfit.
