Features to Look for in Warm Winter Boots

November 24, 2020

Winter’s sharp sting calls for the right footwear to keep your feet warm, dry, and in every way comfortable. When you step out in sneakers, having neglected to buy the right boots for the conditions, your wet, numb feet will be enough to persuade you to go online and start shopping. When the time comes to look into a pair of ladies’ boots for sale online, you can seal your toes and arches against water, snow, and ice by choosing ones with the following protective features.

Heat Retention

Almost every other boot feature is superfluous to those that keep your feet warm. You can find boots that use animal fur or synthetic materials to achieve this result. Thinsulate is a thinner material that works well for active use. You might also consider boots with removable lining if you need to be able to dry the insides out quickly when the snow gets inside. Visiting manufacturer websites to search for temperature ratings will help you assess whether your considerations are right for the conditions in your region; not every site offers this feature for every boot model, however.

Waterproofing

Even though water may get into the boots under some conditions, ideally they should keep moisture out most of the time. First, the exterior or shell should be waterproof; this feature will result from the use in the manufacturing process of high-technology fabrics, synthetic materials or treated leather, as well as tight-seam sewing. Timberland slip-on boots, for example, maybe Gor-Tex constructed for ultimate water resistance. Second, the boot-top should form-fit your calf so that deep snow does not easily make its way inside the boot; you will find boots that rise above the ankle will work best in this regard.

Breathability

Good winter boots need to be able to perform contrasting duties. Though they must keep cold and external moisture from entering, they also need to allow your perspiration to escape — while still retaining heat. Again, choose boots made from either proven synthetic materials or waterproofed leathers. Since rubber does not breathe, avoid winter boots made entirely of this compound; you might find a boot constructed with only the lower section to work satisfactorily, but that form will not be the most optimal.

Comfort and Style

If you live in a climate where snowfall is minimal or nonexistent, you may want to consider researching booties for women that are not intended for extreme conditions. Some booties look fashionable, rising lower on the calf and avoiding a clunky, winter-focused look. Because this type of boot allows for a more natural stride, it can be particularly comfortable for long evening affairs. Keep in mind, stylish boots can still keep you warm and dry under moderate winter extremes.

In most cases, you can find winter boots that serve the twofold function of keeping you warm and dry while showing a fashionable side. Sort carefully through the number of options available online; if staying comfortable and looking good are both important to you, you will not have to settle for one or the other.
