These Are The Coolest Combat Boots To Carry You Through The Winter

For the fashion-forward folk, the changing of seasons is an opportunity to switch around—or upgrade—your wardrobe. The feeling of pulling your favorite sweater out of storage, or dusting off your box of cozy scarves almost makes the thought of the chilly season bearable. But once winter actually comes around, there are only so many ways you can make a sartorial statement (save for coats, hats, and other warm weather gear). There's no hiding your footwear (no matter the season), and it's important to find pieces that are classic, practical, comfortable, and—dare we say it—designed with a bit of pizazz? Combat boots are a sturdy accessory that can stand up against the most inclement of weather, while jazzing up an outfit without losing out on warmth. If there’s ever a time where hiking boots and high fashion meet, or where water resistance isn’t spared for style, it’s with this almighty footwear option.

With the weather dipping rapidly, now is a better time than ever to invest in boots made for walking (and maneuvering through slush, gripping to icy roads, keeping your feet warm in the coolest temperatures). From pattern punched styles to classic winter whites, find 14 of our favorite combat boots to carry you through the season—and give you a reason to get excited for the months ahead.
