What to look for in winter boots
A solid winter boot has one job: keep you warm, dry and comfortable. It might seem like any boot will do, but it comes down to the details. Here is what to look out for:
- Insulation: Fleece, faux fur and thermal padding help retain warmth when temperatures begin to fall. For cold conditions, leave enough room to wear thicker socks without the boots feeling tight.
- Water resistance: Look for waterproof uppers or a water-resistant coating so snow and slush stay outside. On Skechers styles, fully sealed designs carry the Waterproof label in the product name, the Waterproof Relaxed Fit: Trego - Stormie Frost for example, which makes them easy to spot.
- Traction: A grippy outsole provides better traction on wet, snowy or uneven surfaces. Look for defined tread patterns that help create a more secure feeling underfoot.
- Support: If you plan on plenty of walking, choose boots with cushioning and support around the arches and ankles. Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam adds pressure relief and breathability, and the boots should feel secure without limiting your movement.
- Versatility: Versatile boots can be worn across different occasions and styled season after season. Black boots pair easily with jeans, leggings and casual dresses, while brown and tan styles warm up everyday outfits, helping you get maximum wear from one pair.
The best pairs for cold weather combine an insulated or faux-fur lining, a waterproof upper and a grippy outsole. Check warmth, dryness and stability first. Beyond those three, it comes down to the style you will actually wear.
Some of the best Skechers winter snow boots for women include the Waterproof: Trego - Snow Worries and the Waterproof Relaxed Fit: Easy Going - Frostine, both fully sealed with warm linings. For men, the Relaxed Fit: Relment - Daggett and Relaxed Fit: Santoro - Hopkins pair rugged traction with water-repellent and anti-slip builds for wintry pavements.
Winter boots should feel secure without squeezing the foot, allowing you to move your toes freely without sliding around.
Winter boots can be waterproof (preventing water from entering) or water-resistant (helping repel water). The pair you should choose depends on the conditions you plan to wear them in.
Skechers Glacial Ultra styles are lace-up trainer boots that combine cold-weather features with a lighter, trainer-like feel: a suede upper treated with 3M Scotchgard to repel water, a faux-wool collar and trim, a cosy chenille lining and a side zip for easy entry. Underfoot, lightweight ULTRA GO cushioning and an Air-Cooled Goga Mat insole keep them closer to a trainer than a heavy boot, making the Glacial Ultra - Tahoe a versatile choice for everyday wear. The Scotchgard treatment is water-repellent rather than fully waterproof, so for standing water or deep slush choose a sealed Waterproof style instead.
The best way to care for and clean your Skechers winter boots depends on the material and style. Hand wash your boots unless the care tag explicitly specifies machine-washable materials. Note that materials such as leather, suede or nubuck require material-specific cleaners.
