By the time you read this, we'll already be under at least two feet of snow, we hope your shoe game is appropriate. This is the first major snowstorm to hit us and we're sure there will be more, so make sure you're prepared with footwear styles like the BEARPAW Krista Cold-Weather Boots. Your feet will pay the storm no mind while you're wearing these round-toe lace-up cold-weather boots.

Yes, we still seem to be stuck in THIS weather! We're over it, you're over it...your boots are probably over it as well.

Just when you thought we couldn't get any more snow - get ready for round 3. We are indeed headed for more snow tomorrow so here's another pair of snow boots to add to your winter collection (all of mine are getting quite the workout). Although they say, as long as your head and your feet are warm, you'll be okay during winter but with this continuously record breaking temperatures and snowfalls, it's best to be extra safe. Regarding keeping your feet warm, boots like this Lacoste Arbonne Snow Boot is more than enough. It's described as getting the same satisfaction of wearing a cozy, comfy sweater on a frigid day but for your feet. We can definitely see how the fabric and waterproof upper, wrap around lace up, and fleece lining will keep you warm and toasty. We also love the fact that they look so adorable with just leggings or jeans or even if you're wearing both (seriously mother nature...single digit temperatures?).

Anyway,  we love the grey shown above (it also comes in black/red and navy), the slightly elevated rounded toe, the subtle yet stylish 2" wedge heel, and the fact that you can get it for under $90.00 on Amazon.com.

Since we're going to be living in this frozen tundra for a while, let's highlight another pair of boots you need right now. We're actually more familiar with their amazing sandals but I'm taking this time to introduce you to one of their great snow boots. The Teva Lenawee Leather WP Snow Boots boasts waterproof leather and synthetic upper, seam-sealed waterproof construction features the Teva™ T.I.D.E Seal waterproof membrane to protect you from the elements, Teva's versatile MXT platform for freedom of movement, a Bungee lacing system for a snug fit and easy pull on and off, a faux fur interior lining, rubber bumper for added protection from debris, nylon shank at midfoot for added stability, a white Spider™ Rubber sole which stays soft and flexible in freezing temperatures, easily gripping the surface for excellent traction, a Mush® Infused insole which offers the same incredible comfort as a Teva flip flop and a very comfortable 1" heel.

So ladies, if you are without any real snow boots, please add this to your shopping list pronto because we have a few more days of this Antarctic weather.

Well, it looks like it's more snow for us today. With an expected accumulation of 6" to 10" of snow today, it's time to bring out the snow boots yet again. Which is why we're highlighting The North Face Sisque Tall Boots. Featuring a moc-toe (moccasin-style toe), a waterproof, BLC-Silver-compliant full-grain and suede leather upper, a pull tab on the cuff for easy slip on, bungee lace up for a snug fit, 100g Heatseeker insulation throughout the boots that provides a great warmth-to-weight ratio, making it perfect for what's happening outside right now, Oso fleece and 100% recycled P.E.T. lining for all day comfort, cemented and seam-sealed waterproof construction to keep your feet dry, a comfortable OrthoLite™ footbed for all day comfort while wading through the snow, durable rubber TNF™ Winter Grip® outsole base with IcePick® temperature sensitive lugs for excellent traction , and a 1" heel with 3/4" platform.

My only advice, get a half size bigger as they run a big narrow and small. Of course we all love black but if you don't, it also comes in brown/ivory.

If you're going to be out and about in all this blizzard we're "enjoying", your footwear should look like the above Sorel Footwear Glacy™ Explorer Boots. This waterproof suede and canvas boot integrates a full fleece lining for warmth and waterproof breathable membrane construction to keep feet dry and comfortable, all in a sporty silhouette. Webbing overlays, molded EVA footbed with heel cup and arch support, microfleece topcover and a molded rubber outsole makes this snow boot warm and comfortable to walk in. So whether you're at a ski lodge or trudging through the snow laden streets of the city, this protective boot, which marries street sensibilities with an après-ski aesthetic, gives a young, playful new take on staying warm while surviving the occasional blizzard.

If your snow boots do not look like these, I suggest you visit the sorelfootwear.com site so you'll be well equipped for the next storm.
