Why Buy Snow Boots?
Snow boots address two hazards of the winter months – they help prevent you falling in slippery or wet conditions, and they are well insulated to keep your toes toasty.
Snow boots are often more hard wearing than winter boots or wellies too, so they are perfect for holidays in the snow, walking the dog in winter, and for those who spend time outdoors in the cold weather. Aside from these practical benefits, snow boots also look great and there’s a variety of styles. The extra faux-fur trims, coloured laces and various lengths means you can find a pair of snow boots to suit.
Branded or cheap snow boots the choice is down to you and your budget. Luckily we have a range of all types, but before you start browsing, here are some tips to help you get the best from your snow boots.
Snow Boots Are Essential on Skiing Holidays
Skiing holiday are great fun, but not if your feet are freezing.
When you’re on the slopes you’ll be wearing ski boots that clip into skis and snowboards, but off piste you’ll need a snow boot to get around safely. This is because ski resorts are snowy in the towns and social areas as well as on the slopes. Not only is this wet and cold, it’s slippery too. Don’t ruin your holiday by slipping and breaking your ankle on the way to après ski.
A comfortable but study pair of snow boots are essential in snowy resorts, and of course you can wear them afterwards on cold days in the UK too.
Are Snow Boots Waterproof?
All snow boots retain the warmth, but some snow boots are waterproof whilst others are water-repellent. It really depends on the material and the build of your snow boot.
- Water-repellent snow boots are usually watertight on the sole and ankle areas, but less so further up. They will keep you dry in light rain and snow, but not during a downpour. These are best worn on cold but dry days, and tend to feature on the less pricey end of the scale.
- Waterproof snow boots will have a waterproof membrane to prevent leaks, but will also allow your feet to breathe. Sealed seams and tight, treated fabrics keep the water out too. This is the right choice for skiing, walking in slush, or wet days.
What Ladies Snow Boots Should I Buy?
Your choice should reflect how you intend to wear your snow boots.
If you want snow boots for fashion, wear whatever takes your fancy. Snow boots are very trendy and you don’t need to live in the muddy, snow-swept countryside to rock snow boots. They are easy to wear and look so stylish that everyone should have a pair for winter. Look for warmth in a fleecy lined, water- repellent boot because the UK weather is not trustworthy!
If you want snow boots for sports or outside ventures, then you’ll need a sturdier boot. Here are a few tips if you’re getting serious:
Grip: Snow boots usually have a grooved sole to stop you slipping in snow, slush, rain or mud, so look for plenty of traction.
Waterproof: Look for a breathable, waterproof membrane. Materials such as neoprene will keep the boots weather proof.
Support: Snow boots are designed for comfort and the ankle section should be supportive. Find a pair that fits you snugly, but allows you to flex your ankle and walk easily. Lace-up snow boots help support your ankles.
If you’re going to undertake some tough outside work, look for a re-enforced heel and toe to protect your feet from rough terrain.
How to Wear Your Snow Boots
The traditional way to wear snow boots is over skinny jeans or leggings as they easily tuck in and show off the boot. They even flatter your silhouette by giving the illusion of more width at your feet, but some ladies like to wear snow boots with skirts – this can look good teamed with a tailored denim skirt over black tights.
For outdoor work utility trousers and jodhpurs tuck into snow boots easily and protect your feet from slippery and freezing early morning starts. Skiers can wear snow boots après ski to keep warm in the great outdoors, either over or under their sportswear.
Whether you are looking for fashionable, warm boots because you suffer with cold toes all winter and hate wearing extra thick socks, you need snow boots for a ski trip, or you’re planning to stay dry walking the dog this year, we have a boot to suit everyone.
