9 Blizzard-Approved Snow Boots You’ll Actually Want to Wear
Let it snow.
As a weather-worn Midwesterner, the anticipation of winter’s first snowfall is filled with both excitement and dread. If you ask me, it’s the latter feeling I resonate with most. The following scene is unavoidable: I wake up to the jarring sight of knee-high snow and slush covered sidewalks. I scramble around my apartment, tearing open closets and drawers in desperate pursuit of my boots which, probably, are already beat from last winter’s wear and tear. Each year I vow to get my snow attire in order before the first big snowfall, and each year winter comes earlier and earlier, foiling my plans and leaving me schlepping to the office in last year’s leaky galoshes or several layers of socks and sneakers.
In an effort to make this year different, I’ve scoured the internet for blizzard-approved booties you’ll actually be excited to wear. Leave these by your door and wait for the temperatures to drop.
