With the weather getting colder, it's time to start thinking about putting your summer shoes into storage and checking out whether you need to upgrade your winter footwear. If your old pair has seen better days, don't stress because it's not too late to pick up some new winter boots to get your feet ready for the most unforgiving season.
When deciding which boots to purchase, it is very important to look for winter-specific boots. Regular boots don't offer adequate grip, and with the winter season being the slipperiest of them all, you could be prone to injuries without the proper footwear. Not only do boots designed specifically for colder weather provide better traction, but they are also designed with better insulation to keep your feet warm as the temperature drops.
We've gathered our picks for the most useful autumn and winter boots for women below -- suitable for hiking, shoveling, and even to wear casually.
