While a pair of rubber rain boots or lace-up hiking boots might get you through a winter in a city with moderate weather, a pair of one of the best snow boots for women is the ideal option for, well, truly snowy conditions. Perhaps you have a ski trip coming up or you live in a place where snow is often in the forecast; a pair of insulated and snow-proof boots are your best bet for wading through slushy roads and tip-toeing across black ice.

What makes these picks stand out are traditional and practical style details such as grippy soles, shearling linings, toggle closures, shaggy faux fur coverings, and rope details in pull-on or laced boot versions that are ready for the elements. You can rely on classic styles from cold-weather gear brands such as L.L.Bean, Sorel, Ugg, and Bogner, while those looking for something with a bit more flair might take an interest in Guest in Residence x Moon Boot’s seriously chic après ski boots adorned with multicolored laces and a snuggly shearling interior. Also not to miss? Bally’s red-lace lug-soles, Sorel x Barbour’s countryside choice that just hit stores, and Miu Miu’s more subtle suede style. There are also luxury alpine-focused brands like Moncler and Goldbergh, which have complementary footwear to round out your ski look. And if you’re someone who prefers to hit the ski shops instead of the slopes, our edit has you covered here, too with snuggly styles from Aeyde, By Malene Birger, and Le Monde Beryl that look just as good with an insulated pant as they do with a cozy corduroy and sumptuous shearling coat.
