Winter's Coming! Time to Grab a Pair of These Best Snow Boots

Whether you're hiking up a snowy mountain or shoveling your driveway, chances are you're going to need a pair of good snow boots. Ree Drummond breaks out her own snow boots at least twice a year, when her family drives nine hours from their home in Pawhuska to Vail in Colorado, a picturesque ski town her husband, Ladd, spent time in as a kid. (Ree isn't a skier, but she loves cute cold-weather gear like winter gloves and cozy flannel shirts!)

Here, you'll find the best snow boots for women in all different styles and colors so you can pick the one that suits your climate and personality best. Not sure where to start? Dr. Priya Parthasarathy, a Maryland-based podiatrist, has an easy rule of thumb for vetting winter boots: Try bending the boots in half. They shouldn't budge; if they do, they probably won't stand up to winter storms and chilly temperatures. You should also look for a textured rubber sole, tight stitching (to keep out ice and snow), and a thick, cushioned insole. And don't be afraid of a slight chunky heel—it can actually provide more support by elevating your foot out of the snow!

Once you pick your perfect pair, find some wool socks to wear underneath. And in super-cold weather, you might consider wearing liner socks under the wool socks, which will insulate your feet and can even help prevent blisters. Read on for the best snow boots for women that are functional and après-ski-worthy.
