20 Best Snow Boots (Review) In 2020

In our opinion, the best snow boot on the market today is the Columbia Women’s Ice Maiden II. On this list, there are plenty of different styles of snow boots, but we think this is the best overall. It manages to be an attractive looking leather boot, without compromising on practicality. They reach quite high up the leg and the leather is very sturdy. Plus, inside the boot, your legs are comforted by 200g wool insulation. This is one of the warmest materials out there and your feet will be perfectly toasty in any weather. If you are also on the hunt for the best ankle boots, be sure to check out our selection of the best ones on the market.

The Kamik Men’s Nationplus Boot is another one of our favorite winter boots on the market. Its design is based on the traditional kamik soft boots worn by Innuits. However, this modern boot is made from suede leather instead of sealskin or reindeer hide. It’s also tougher and more comfortable than those traditional boots. Whilst it does take a long time to get on and off your foot, once you’re in it’s a really comfortable experience. Our only slight concern is that it might not hold its waterproofing ability forever, so you will need to regularly treat it to get the most out of this boot. For those of you that are into motorcycles, we have prepared our selection of the best motorcycle boots, so be sure to check them out.

This pair of waterproof Dream Pairs Women’s Mid-Calf Snow Boots are a little less heavy-duty than the previous boots. They’re really designed for light snow and ice, not for serious hiking. However, they should still keep you warm in most conditions. They’re weather rated to -25F and have 200g Thermolite insulation. One of the best things about these little boots is the faux-fur lining on top, which makes them a lot more stylish than other snow shoes and boots. You can also choose from seventeen different styles and colors.

If you’re looking for a boot that puts practicality above style, the CLIMATEX Climate X Snow Boot might be the one for you. The simple and clunky design makes them look more like a wellington boot than a fashionable snow boot, but that’s one of the reasons we like them. One of our favorite features is the simple drawstring closure, which makes them super easy to pull on and off. The only slight drawback is that the nylon material is only water-repellent, not water-proof. This could cause you some problems in deep snow. If you are also searching for some fashionable options for ladies, check out our reviews of the best cowboy boots for women.

Melton Women’s Snow Boots from London Fog are clearly designed with style in mind. They have one of the largest and most convincing faux fur linings that we’ve seen so far. Not only will this make you stand out amongst the crowd, but it will also keep your legs warm in harsh conditions. Inside the boot, it has a warm lining, although it’s not properly insulated and doesn’t come with a weather rating. They’re fantastic for light snow and ice, but if you’re looking for a serious winter boot, this isn’t the one for you.

Snow Hiking Mucker Duck Grafters from Polar are one of the cheapest men’s snow boots that we’d recommend buying. At less than $40, they’re considerably cheaper than a lot of suede snow boots, but they are still capable enough for light use. Most customers are completely satisfied with these snow boots, but some have complained about the sole leaking. This can normally be avoided by treating your boots after every use and checking for signs of wear and tear. Of course, they’re never going to be as good as a $200 pair, but we’re pretty impressed with the quality. Our guide to the best wide calf boots features more high-quality footwear like this.

These boots are the women’s version of the last Polar boots we looked at. Polar Nylon Cold Weather boots are pretty much the same boot in terms of materials and features. However, this version is noticeably slimmer and has a faux fur lining at the top of the boot. Like the men’s version, they’re available in three different shades, so you can find the perfect style for you. Again, they’re not ideal for extreme conditions, but for lighter wear, they’re perfect.

As our best value product, we’ve chosen the Quicksilk Eyushijia Hiking Boot. They’re not what you’d expect from a snow boot and are actually closer to a hiking boot. However, we wanted to include them for two reasons. First, they’re a really great price. At less than $30, you’re not going to find a cheaper pair of high-quality boots. The second reason is that they have a great faux fur lining. This makes them suitable for light snow and icy conditions. So, if you’re not expecting a snowstorm, but you want some warm and comfortable boots, get a pair of these.

Northside Women’s Sun Peak Boots might not look heavy-duty, but they might surprise you. Underneath the attractive suede leather, they have a thick felt lining that is more than capable of keeping your feet warm. Plus, they are properly insulated with 200-gram Thinsulate insulation. They are completely waterproof and have a rubber toe, which makes them more durable than most boots. These boots might cost you a little more than some of the competition, but the quality is a step up.

We’ve already featured a couple of Polar winter snow boots. They’re known for providing quality snow boots at low prices and the Polar Men’s Muck Boots are one of their flagship products. They are similar to the Grafter boots, but they’re designed more for walking in the snow, rather than working in the snow. The rubber sole has deep grooves that provide plenty of grip in both snow and ice. The lining is also thicker than other Polar boots, which makes them more comfortable.

Plus, they have a really cool technology called Spider Rubber, which helps the UGG Women’s W Adirondack III Patent Snow Boot stay flexible in freezing temperatures.

If you’re looking for a reasonably priced pair of women’s snow boots, GLOBALWIN Women’s 1837 Winter Snow Boots are perfect for you. They look like a much more expensive pair of boots, thanks to the faux fur and the quality materials. The reason they’re cheaper is that they’re not insulated inside and don’t come with a weather-rating. In spite of this, they’re still very warm and will last you a long time. Plus, you can choose from five different camouflage style options. Our guide to the best steel toe cap boots features more high-quality footwear like this, so be sure to check them out.

Polar has cropped up a couple of times on our list of best snow boots. That’s because they make some great quality, affordable snow boots. Hiking Fleece Ankle Boots from Polar are similar to the other Polar women’s boots but lean towards style instead of practicality. From a distance, you could barely tell that they’re waterproof boots. They still have the faux fur lining and a synthetic shell. Our guide to the best boot dryers features some amazing accessories for your winter footwear, so take a moment to check them out.

Sorel boots are well known to be some of the best snow boots around. They might be more expensive than a lot of the boots on this list, but you can really trust them in any conditions. They have a vulcanized rubber sole and toe area that is thick enough to stop you from stubbing your toe. Then, the rest of the boot is made from high-quality leather and has a removable felt lining. This might make them sound like any old snow boot, but SOREL Men’s Caribou Winter Snow Boots are designed specifically for use in the snow. For example, the rubber sole wicks away moisture from snow and slush. If you want a really high-quality men’s snow boot, this is the one for you.

DADAWEN Women’s Waterproof Frosty Snow Boots are a little different to the other snow boots we’ve featured. They have a Velcro system that allows you to slip them on and off with ease. You might think that this would affect their ability to keep water out, but you’d be surprised. The durable textile upper is great at keeping moisture out. Plus, they have an anti-skid sole so you don’t slip over on the wet ground. And, they’re lined with thick and warm faux fur.

You might know Crocs as the company that makes the plastic walking sandals that everyone loves to hate. They also have tons of other high-quality shoes for all conditions. The Crocs Men’s AllCast II Snow Boot is one of the best-made snow boots on the market. It has a thick rubber sole and toe area as well as 200g insulation. The other thing we love about these snow boots is the faux shearling lining. It’s similar to the lining you would get in a flight jacket and provides the perfect mixture of comfort and warmth.

GLOBALWIN Women’s Winter Snow Boots are a great option if you’re looking for an affordable and stylish pair of boots for walking on snow. They’re made from premium synthetic Italian leather, which is the next best thing to real Italian leather. They’re lined with faux fur and come in a range of styles and colors. In addition, you can get these boots in two different heights. 

We already talked about how good Sorel boots are. Well, these are one of Sorel’s most heavy-duty boots. In fact, these are probably the toughest and warmest boots on this list. Sorel Men’s Conquest Boots are lined with 400g Thinsulate Ultra insulation, which will keep your feet warm in temperatures down to -40ºF. Plus, they have what Sorel calls a built-in gaiter bootie with a drawstring and barrel lock snow collar. These features are designed to keep any moisture out, even if you’re trampling through deep snow. For more winterproof footwear, check out our guide to the best snowboard boots.

They have a durable rubber outsole and 200g Thermolite insulation on the inside. With these boots, you can handle temperatures down to -25ºF. The thing we like so much about these boots is how versatile they are. You can use them just to keep your feet & toes warm or to climb a snowy mountain – they can handle it all.
