No matter where you winter—the best armor for the season is not an all-weather jacket, but the fully functional and supremely stylish boot. With the ability to dramatically dress things up with just a detail (fur trim, python skin), toughen a look with studs and buckles, or work as a comfortable but chic alternative to an evening stiletto, the boot fills many shoes. To that end, Vogue.com brings you the ultimate boot guide. From the eternally classic equestrian to flirty lace-ups, here are our picks.
