If you've ever looked for boots that can handle a winter, you know that most of them are puffy, lumpy, and not too easy on the eyes. This is the list of the best stylish winter boots I wish I had when I first moved to New York City from the tropics, all arranged from cheapest to most expensive.

1. Thursday Boot Company: Legend ($199 - [ Ссылка ])

With better grip than most Thursday boots and made with an extra weather resistant, oil tanned "Rugged and Resilient" leather, this is Thursday's best value boot for winter. I like Chelseas for their ease of putting on, but if you want to spend an extra $50 you can get their 8-inch high Explorer boot as well.

Pros: Great value, extra weather resistant leather, grippier than most Thursdays
Cons: Not a storm welt, fewer leathers available than other Thursday boots

2. Meermin 114787 Softcalf E ($275 - [ Ссылка ])

A dressier boot that's easy to wear to the office, this snappy boot is fully lined with shearling wool to keep your toes toasty warm and it's made with calfskin from the famous Tannerie D'annonay.

Pros: Dressy, lined with wool, storm welt
Cons: Not super grippy or versatile

3. Red Wing Sawmill ($340 - [ Ссылка ])

Unlike most Red Wing boots, the Sawmill is lined with felt, it's got a water resistant storm welt, and it's extremely grippy — this is the Red Wing Heritage boot for winter.

Pros: Storm welt, moisture wicking lining, felt footbed, grippy sole
Cons: Not super versatile

4. Vemodale Design Saint Denis - Duotöne (295€/~$350 - [ Ссылка ])

Made by a family in Northern Sweden — not too far from the Arctic Circle — this is a beautiful boot that stands out not just for its design but also its Arctic Grip sole, which may be the best sole on Earth for icy conditions.

Pros: Storm welt, maybe the best sole for ice, small family-owned shop
Cons: Takes 1-2 months to be made, not insulated

5. Rancourt Freeman Boot ($450 - [ Ссылка ])

My pick for the best looking winter boot, this guy is made with a storm welt, a grippy Vibram Kletterlift sole, it's 8 inches high, and it's lined with shearling. Also, it's just the best looking boot.

Pros: 8 inches high, lined with shearling, made with storm welt, grippy
Cons: Takes 3-4 weeks to be made

6. Allen Edmonds Himalaya Shearling Boot ( $495 - [ Ссылка ])

A dressy twist on the side zip boot design, Allen Edmonds' boot is made with gorgeous Chromexcel leather but it's extra functional: it comes with a storm welt and it's fully lined with shearling.

Pros: Pretty dressy, classic leather, lined with shearling
Cons: Not very grippy

7. Russell Double Vamp Birdshooter ($450-$652 - [ Ссылка ])

This one takes anywhere from 12 to 20 weeks to be made, so it's not ideal for a lot of guys, but it makes up for it with the option of 400 grams of Thinsulate, plus it comes with a unique double vamp for extra water resistance.

Pros: Double vamp for water resistance, insulated, Aspen Gumlite sole
Cons: Can take up to 5 months

8. Wesco Hendrik ($678+ - [ Ссылка ])

Everything here can be customized, and to make the best boots for winter, I'd pick a 7-inch tall Hendrik with Thinsulate and a Vibram Raptor sole. If you keep everything else pretty basic the cost is $678, plus you can customize the thread color, every piece of leather, the works.

Pros: Fully customizable, can have 400g Thinsulate and Vibram Raptor sole
Cons: Takes 12 weeks to be made

9. Viberg Hiker Fog Waxed Veldt ($710 - [ Ссылка ])

Viberg suggested this as their best winter boot: it's lined with Thinsulate, it's got extra volume for thick socks/liners, and super water resistant.

Pros: Single piece of leather, water resistant split welt, extra volume for liners
Cons: Not the grippiest sole

10. Crockett & Jones' Ross ($725 - [ Ссылка ])
The fanciest shoe company that makes James Bond's oxfords, this is ultra dressy, comes with a suede collar for warmth, looks beautiful, and is very water resistant.

Pros: Waterproof waxed leather, grippy, storm welt
Cons: Expensive, not insulated
