Footwear that rises to the ankle or higher; can be casual or dressy, practical or fashionable. Boots that are designed for protection from the elements may be made of a single, closely-stitched piece of leather, rubber, or other material to prevent the entry of water, mud or dirt. Other types of boots are sturdy in nature, intended for protection in wilderness or industrial settings. Fashionable boots for men and women may have all the variations seen in other shoe styles, including high heels, platforms, and lacings.

The North Face Snowtropolis Lace Love these boots!

These boots are exactly what I was looking for--something stylish enough for the city, but practical enough to survive the cold and wet New England winters. These are very comfortable to walk around in, they have a nice soft sole. I will say that I have very narrow calves, and these boots fit me pretty snugly with a pair of jeans tucked in. If you have large calves, these might not be comfortable.
Wears this shoe: Great for cold and snow.

I purchased these boots a few weeks ago based on reviews I read on various sites. I've worn them everyday while walking my dog in the freezing cold, snow, rain, slush, etc. My feet have always stayed warm and dry, which was exactly what I was looking for. The calf is a little snug but I have this problem with most boots. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a warm, waterproofwinter boot.
Wears this shoe: Walking my dog during the winter or on a snowy/wet winter day.

The North Face Janey II Luxe Great boot

Reviewer: Tristy from NYC
I've worn this boot while walking around in single digit weather, in rain and snow and blizzards. My toes have stayed dry and toasty throughout. They also look great with jeans or skirts. These run true to size, so I recommend getting a half size larger to fit in extra pairs of thick socks. The back is lace-tightened so it also fits my wide calves. The only cons with this boot is that I wish it was slightly taller, and also, watch out when you step into tall snow drifts, as the back IS lace-up and a small amount of snow may get in through the laces (happened to me today while I was shoveling 2 ft of snow). Otherwise, I am very satisfied with this boot!
