If you live in a place like New York, you know that a great pair of winter boots is a wardrobe essential! A good pair of boots can be an investment, but it’s well worth it when you find a great pair you can wear year after year. Things I look for in a pair of winter boots: waterproof material, good traction, and a warm lining to keep my feet warm.

My favorite pair of winter boots has been these Sorel Conquest Carly boots. These boots are waterproof and the soles have great traction which is great for rainy or snowy days. I also love their height, this gives me some extra warmth when it’s freezing out. The boots come in a few different colors, but this brown/tan color goes with most of my wardrobe so it’s a versatile option to have in my closet.

Another pair that I have on heavy rotation are my UGG boots (in the top photo.) They are a tried & true pair that I’ve returned to over and over again. They are the most comfortable and warm boots ever! I also like this pair.

PS – Stand out this winter in these statement coats or stay warm in these budget friendly winter coats.
