If there’s one thing I despise spending money on, it’s shoes I buy for function and not out of love. This is a rare occasion for me, the main one being tennis shoes for the gym. No matter how many bells or whistles, I really despise every gym shoe I’ve ever seen or purchased. But they are a necessity-and always the one pair of shoes I know I should wear more often than I do. With our recent snow covered ground, I’ve started realizing how nice it would be to have a pair of completely waterproof boots that could help me avoid the slow salty death of one more pair of shoes I love.
Unfortunately, I’ve also realized that finding a non-atrocious pair of these kind of boots is much like finding a cute pair of tennis…almost non-existent. So after a bit of digging, here is a few of what I’ve found to be the best not-too-moon-shoe-looking snow boots that are all completely waterproof. Your closet full of beautiful shoes will thank you for keeping them warm, safe, and unsalted.
1. Hunter Boots, Summit Waterproof $206.50 sale
2. Sorel, Snow Angel Lace, $85
3. Adidas by Stella McCartney, Galmei Boots, $230
4. Keen, Snowmass Low Boot, $130
the salty truth

I was just thinking about waterproof boots like these today! I’m heading up to NY tomorrow, and I know they’ve been covered in snow recently, but I also received a new pair for Christmas! I’m afraid to wear them up there on account of them becoming a salty, mis-colored mess! xo

I love them! I thought they were a good match between fashion and function.
I really like the first ones.
What a shame to spend money on a non-fashion item, but if it will help preserve those fashionable shoes it is worth it!
I’ve been eyeing up a pair at REI that would go great with my snow suit. I’m trying to persuade the bf to use his dividend towards purchasing them so it won’t hurt so bad to buy (another) pair of practical shoes. {I just had to purchase a pair of hiking shoes for our Puerto Rico trip instead of the heels I’ve been lusting over – it nearly broke my heart haha}
