The Best Men’s Shoes For Winter

By Kendall Cornish on November 10, 2015

From Oxfords to hiking boots with shearling and leather, these are the ultimate shoes for men this winter.

When it comes to choosing boots for winter, the selection of functional and fashionable pairs can be underwhelming. Warm and comfortable boots often lack the charm you hope for in something you'll be wearing most days, and men's footwear is no exception. Whether your style is classic, athletic, outdoorsy, or edgy, there actually are boot options for you that will last you through the season and into next year with the same élan as your fall shoes and comfort as those questionable, shearling-lined ones you somehow still have from the 80s.

From Chelsea boots in leather and suede to surprisingly sophisticated waterproof hiking boots, these high-quality winter shoes for men are the ultimate additions to a winter wardrobe. As the rain of spring approaches, these boots will blend seamlessly into next season's outfits as well and will be sustainable enough to last you for years to come. For this reason, we've emphasized timeless styles in our list to ensure dapper looks regardless of the year. However, we have not excluded on-trend pairs that will keep your look timely and fashion-forward. We recommend having a pair of each in order to be able to change it up during the winter, when ensembles tend to get monochromatic and the mundane.

Stay warm and fashionable in these men's winter boots, hand-picked by our editors for the utmost relevance and quality.
