15 Winter Boots to Help Weather the Storm(s)
Six years I lived in New York City and never found the perfect city-chic Winter boot. A boot that could brave the elements (slush, rain, sludge, funk) and look cute. There are more options now than ever before. I still require a pair — for skiing in the Sierras — and I'm having a hard time deciding. There's furry, suede, rubberized, sporty, fringed, laced up, something for every snow bunny. These Tory Burch Rabbit Fur Trim Duck Boot ($176) are pretty perfect; urban, fuzzy, army green, Aspen-ready. Sorels, a classic, have similar lace-up styles, and UGGS even come in magenta for the bright-eyed babe. Stomp through for 15 storm-ready options . . .
Wonderful Winter Boots
As the rainy, chilly winter days creep closer, it's time to start shopping the all-weather shoes that will get you through the winter.

Here are some of my favorite finds at both designer and non-designer prices.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Pearl Rubber Boot, $186.95, available here.

Coach Kimberly Boot, $238, available here.

Tecnica Karin Boot, $249, available here.

Juicy Couture Quilted Wedge Snow Boots, $175, available here.
