COMBAT CHUNKY BOOTS

Even if you aren’t a fan of cold weather, it can be fun to shop for winter clothes, especially since we’re all spending more time outside these days. From fun coats to heeled boots, there are plenty of ways to have a good time while bundling up. But mustering the desire to wear high-heeled shoes is hard these days, and house shoes, while cozy, aren’t the smartest choice once the snow starts falling.

Year after year, you can’t go wrong with a pair of combat boots. They never go out of style and their rugged soles have enough traction for icy surfaces. Plus, the tall shafts keep your ankles warm and some can be just as chic as a heeled boot. The right pair can work with nearly any outfit, now that “work clothes” are decidedly more casual.

Whether you’re in the market to splurge on a designer pair that will last you a lifetime or looking for inexpensive durable ones for right now, shop below for our favorites.
