9 Winter Boots That Aren’t Ugly
As fellow Canadians, we know the struggle of finding a pair of cute winter boots, we got you
“Every mile is two in winter," wrote George Herbert, a poet with a deep understanding of the challenges of the winter season.
Winter, with its frosty charm and icy landscapes, also brings the perennial quest for the perfect winter boots. Let’s face it, winter boots and snow shoes aren’t usually made with elegance in mind: they promise warmth and waterproof protection for the exchange for style.
Bulky, colourful, weighty winter boots might have sufficed us when we were younger when we had no one to impress but the other kids on the playground and our school teachers. Now we need shoes to help us combat city slush while still enthusing our office crush - it makes sense that we need more sophisticated options now.
If you've ever found yourself choosing between soggy feet or style sacrifices, this year's selections are a game changer.
We’re saying goodbye to the ugly, bulky, dreary boots of winter’s past and introducing footwear that will lift your spirits and get you the office ‘fashionista’ label while still keeping your toes toasty.
