Best snow boots for women from Sorel, Ugg, Hunter and more

With the final season of the year upon us, wintery conditions returning and temperatures starting to drop, it’s time to start thinking about our dressing attire – starting from the bottom.

Whether heading to après ski, trekking through snowy countrysides, or wandering the slippery city streets, investing in a good pair of reliable snow boots is essential.

These Alps-ready styles have become a divisive hit among the fashion set where Moon Boots in particular have been spotted in street style shots from New York to Paris, proving these designs have appeal far beyond the mountains.

As far as fashion trends go, these sit on the more sensible end of the spectrum and so we are putting our weight fully behind them. When braving cold weather conditions - be it snow, ice or any slippery terrains - these silhouettes are kitted out with specialised soles that are non-slip and have high traction.

They are also made with waterproof materials on the exterior to keep your feet dry and prevent soggy socks from featuring in your winter social schedule. Last but not least, snow boots will keep your feet warm, thanks to insulated interiors where you can find options with fur, faux fur, or sheepskin linings to keep icicles at bay.
