From Affordable Finds to Investment Buys, These Are the Best Snow Boots for Every Budget
Anyone who's ventured onto snowy mountain slopes knows that investing in high-quality gear is essential. It can be the difference between a damp, disappointing experience on the piste and the alpine getaway of your dreams. The crux of your chalet capsule should be a sturdy pair of boots, designed to handle icy paths and ankle-deep snow with ease—and keep your feet snug in the process.
Seasoned skiers might decide it's time to splurge on top-of-the-range, ultra-technical boots; the kind that look more like astronaut footwear than everyday apparel. But if you're setting off on your first trip to the Alps or simply wish to navigate snowy spells in the city with a little more support, you can keep your budget on the lower side.
Wherever you fall on the spectrum, there are a few considerations worth keeping front of mind. First, make sure the materials used are fully waterproof, as there's nothing worse than feeling a surge of cold water seeping into the footbed. Check the soles to ensure the grip is sufficient for the terrain you'll be tackling. And if you expect to encounter more than a few inches of snow, a knee-high design is the smart choice.
Now that you know what to look for, scroll on to see our pick of the best snow boots for every budget.
