They're temperature rated to -25 degrees Fahrenheit, and they're sure to get a lot of attention.

Now on sale at 6pm, you can currently save big on these and more of the season's cutest boots.

There have been several different versions of DC Shoes' 'Chalet' winter boots, and every one of them has been adorable; but, I'm not sure any of them have been cuter than this latest version. Packed with plenty of practical features like insulated interiors and gripping outsoles, what really sets these snow boots apart is their suede uppers and fluffy collars. Available in pale gray, black and chestnut these winter boots have 12.5" tall shafts.

Ultra-Fluffy Faux Fur Boots - Dr. Scholl's 'Chewy'

I simply couldn't make a list of cute winter boots without including at least one, ultra-fluffy pair, and, for me, it's even better that these Dr. Scholl's short boots are made with faux fur.

Available in four great colors, including cream; brown; all black; and black with gray; these women's boots have moccasin-style stitching, microfiber uppers, and sweet beaded ties on their sides.

It could just be the photos, but to me, the brown and cream versions looked a bit fluffier than the two black versions, but either way, you can't really lose, as these boots are currently on sale for less than $53 -- and even at their regular price, they're just under $60.

Ukala 'Sydney High' - Affordable Sheepskin Boots in Aqua Blue or Pink

It's the color choices and the price of these boots that caught my eye -- they're currently on sale for $27.00 -- but these boots are definitely more than just bargain-priced eye-candy; they're quite functional as well. With suede uppers and Micron20™ Australian Merino wool lining , these vivid boots are super-cute in aqua blue, pink and purple, but if those shades are just a little too cute for you, you'll be happy to know they also come in chestnut, chocolate and taupe.

Tecnica 'Moon Boot' - Iconic Winter Boots for Women

With nylon uppers and top ties to protect your feet and legs from the elements, Tecnica's 'Moon Boots' have to be one of the cutest styles around -- and they've been on my wish list for quite a while now. Available in a wide array of colors, these iconic boots are regularly-priced at a reasonable $100 -- and are often on sale for as little as $70.

If you don't mind dropping $30 more, you can score them in iridescent silver or pearl.

When I see these super-cute red boots, I really wish I had an endless supply of money and more room to store yet another pair of winter boots. In other words, I adore them. They're cute, they're unique, and, at just under $40 per pair, they're also really affordable.

Also available in bright pink, tan, and black, these casual boots feature man-made velvet uppers and faux fur linings. They'd be perfect for pairing with leggings or jeans, and could really add an unexpected touch to a casual dress and tights.

Faux Sheepskin Sequin Boots for Less

If you love the look of high-priced sheepskin boots with sequins, but can't justify the price -- or if you prefer a manmade alternative, then you may want to have a look at these shimmery, affordable boots from GoJane.com. Priced at less than $30 per pair, these tall, embellished boots come in pink, black, or blue; and there's also a shorter version, which comes in black, pink or brown.

If these cute Sanuk boots are only half as comfortable as the Sanuk Sidewalk Surfers I reviewed, anyone who buys them is going to be in for a real treat.

Available in tan or black, these women's boots feature full back zippers and tall suede shafts that are lined with faux shearling, so they're bound to keep you warm, and they're perfect for tucking in your favorite jeans or leggings.

Cute and Affordable Winter Boots - Jellypop 'Glad'

I don't typically recommend heeled winter boots, but as long as the roads aren't slippery or icy, and it's just the cold you're dealing with, there's no reason you can't wear heels that you normally would. And, since the heels on these boots are only 2.5 inches and they're wedges, it doesn't seem completely insane.

So, weather permitting, it would be difficult to find a cuter pair of winter boots in this price range. Ringing up at less than $65 per pair, these wedge-heeled winter boots feature faux suede uppers with faux fur collars, and their outsoles do provide a bit of traction.

Koolaburra 'Haley' - Cute Fringed Boots for Women

Topped with shearling collars, and decorated with suede fringe, these adorable winter boots have sheepskin interiors to protect you on cold, windy days. They come in gray, black, sand, brown and eggplant, and to be honest, I don't think I could possibly choose a favorite. And any of them would be adorable with leggings or jeans.
