Best snow boots to invest in for style and grip

3 of the best snow boots: a classic black moon boot, a lace up faux fur trim boot from sorrel and a silver snow boot from steve madden.

It's nearly impossible to tackle icy temperatures without the best snow boots. Ideal for when the fluffy stuff has first fallen to the ground, they will also be indispensable in the following days as glorious snow turns to treacherous ice. 

Whether you're hitting the slopes, or just want to avoid stacking it on the ground, the best snow boots are a winter capsule wardrobe must-have. As temperatures plummet and the white stuff sweeps the nation, snow boots not only keep your feet dry and warm, they'll make navigating icy or wet snowy terrain a little easier. 

"When you're looking for a new pair of snow boots", explains fashion editor & stylist, Antonia Kraskowski, "there are various factors to consider. Three important ones are sole grip, warmth and waterproofing. A good tractor tread sole will create grip in slippy situations, stopping you from falling over on patches of ice. If you are going to encounter lengthy times of snow and ice, it’s worth investing in a specialist snow or active footwear brand such as Sorel."

Depending on the level of technicality you need from your footwear, you can opt for more fashion-led styles, but sole and waterproofing will always remain paramount. "If you’re hitting the slopes," Antonia continues. "And want a cool pair of boots that will keep your feet warm for apres ski activity, Moon Boots super padded styles will keep your toes cosy no matter how deep the snow fall is".
