These 30 Weather-Proof Shoes Are at the Pinnacle of Function and Fashion
Have you ever recklessly stepped off the sidewalk into a murky puddle? Well, same. Have you ever compromised the shoe you wanted to wear for the uglier yet more practical pair? Also same. Well, this shopping list is aimed at changing that unfortunate universal experience with weatherproof boots that you actually love. Hopefully, these boots will be ones you'll want to choose anyways, regardless of the weather.
Designers have gotten behind weather-friendly shoes from Miu Miu's quilted snow boots to Chanel's logo rain boots to Bottega Veneta's infamous wellie boots. And not to be missed are viral pieces like Chloé's Moon Boots and Ugg's Mini Platform Boots which have statement winter boots trending like never before. Luckily, this means increased options for designs that feel fashionable but still offer the functionality that you need in winter footwear.
I've done the digging to find the top 30 weatherproof boots that meet your practical needs while still contributing to your looks. Shopping to ensue below!
