Inuikii Padded Snow Boots $309 “I’ve been eyeing these snow boots, which look extremely comfortable with the soft-padded soles and roomy, quilted upper fabric — not the typical stiff styles I’m used to seeing, or wearing. The sandy color is the perfect balance between taupe and beige that works with just about anything.” — Kathy Lee, editor-in-chief, TZR See On Mytheresa

Bottega Veneta Puddle Bomber $1,550 “I’m a pragmatist when it comes to winter footwear, and will happily wear my old Bean Boots for another season if it means extra budget for *fun* shoes. But these fabulous snow stompers might make me change my tune‚ especially if there’s a blizzard during February fashion week.” — Alison Syrett, deputy fashion editor, TZR See On Bottega Veneta

Isabel Marant Nowles Shearling-Lined Suede Snow Boots $750 "I am determined to escape the temperate L.A. winter weather for some real snow this season, if for no other reason but to wear these boots. I love the sleek suede material, corset lacing, and plush shearling lining. They scream snow bunny chic ." — Angela Melero, executive editor, TZR See On Net-A-Porter

Chloé x Moon Boot Ankle Boots $725 “I love a good collab — so when Chloé dropped these snow boots with Moon Boot, they skyrocketed to the top of my wish list. Wearing them would make trudging through the snow so much chicer.” - Maggie Haddad, senior strategist, social media, TZR See On Chloé

Cougar Shani Leather Waterproof Boot with PrimaLoft® $160 “I typically wear rain boots on snowy days, and while they keep my feet dry, they are not warm. This PrimaLoft-lined pair of Chelsea boots are more functional, but stylish enough that I'll actually want to wear them.” — Erin Lukas, deputy beauty editor, TZR See On Cougar

Hunter Wanderer Faux Shearling Waterproof Tall Boot $250 "Even though I grew up in NYC I've never owned snow boots, so I think it's finally time to invest in a pair (instead of relying on my poor UGGs that often get soaked). I have this cute shearling pair saved to my wishlist. — Marina Liao, senior fashion news editor See On Nordstrom

Sorel Women's Sorel Explorer II Joan Boot $155 $116 "I spend winters with my in-laws in Colorado and my snow boots always take an annual beating. I always default to my Sorel Explorers. The pea-green shade feels fun and sporty, and they're lightweight but hold their own through snowy mountain hikes (or coffee runs)." — Amanda Ross, beauty editor, TZR See On Sorel

UGG Adiroam Ankle Metallic $225 “As someone who lives in NYC, I’ve been looking for a trusty pair of snow-proof (and stylish) boots for a while now. This weather-resistant pair from UGG checks all the boxes — and will definitely make it into my checkout cart this holiday season.” — Valerie Stepanova, fashion writer, TZR See On UGG

Moncler Helis Logo-Print Leather-Trimmed Suede Ankle Boots $725 “Living in L.A., our version of a ‘snow boot’ is much milder [than on the East Coast], like this Moncler hiking style. It is equal parts durable and stylish, plus are neutral enough to be worn with pretty much everything I own.” — Rebecca Iloulian, director of newsletter revenue and marketing, BDG See On Net-A-Porter

Canada Goose Cypress Puffer Boot $525 "I got these boots in September and started wearing them the minute it got cold in NYC. They are so cozy and chic, and truly look good with all outfits, while still being functional and warm." — Natasha Marsh, beauty features writer, TZR See On Canada Goose
