WHICH WINTER SHOES ARE YOU?

When temperatures drop below zero, it’s high time to invest in a pair of reliable shoes to walk you through winter. We’ve got the recipe for your cold feet. By Josefin Barsom.

Before you start looking for winter shoes, there are a few things to look out for.

Winter shoe checklist:

1.         Waterproof
You can’t do winter without waterproofing. Look for Gore-Tex, vinyl, and natural rubber and you’ll be ready for rain, mud, snow, and slush. 

2.         Insulation
Cold feet are the worst, so make sure you pick a pair of shoes that keeps the heat. Go for boots insulated with wool, shearling, or any other warm and snuggly material.

3.         Traction
Winter is full of slippery ice patches, that’s why you need a pair of shoes with good traction. Look for soles with small studs and other friction points that grip onto surfaces. 

4.         Sustainable
Winter shoes are a long-term investment that should last through the years. Look for durable materials like natural rubber and nontoxic, recyclable vegetable-tanned leather that ages gracefully and becomes even better with time. You’ll find a bunch of these in our Made with Care collection.

Chelsea boots 

You’re an aspiring poet with a Spotify playlist full of ambient singer-songwriters. Sporting your Blundstones across town, dressed in an oversized black coat, secretly daydreaming of living in the countryside.
