Winter Boots for Men

Top Picks in Men's Winter Boots

By , About.com Guide

Men's winter boots don't change quite as much as women's, but there are still a variety of styles to choose from. And, when the weather is cold, wet, snowy or icy, you will need a pair of top-notch winter boots. Here are some of my top picks in boots that will keep you dry and warm, even in some of the worst conditions.

1. The North Face 'Chilkats' - Insulated Winter Boots

Protection with a capital "P" is what you'll get with these stylish boots from The North Face. With more winter-beating technologies than I could possibly list, these boots have a cool, rugged look to them as well.

2. Kamik 'Nationplus' - Easy Care Winter Boots

With self-cleaning lug soles, and waterproof suede and nylon uppers these boots will take care of you, and themselves. Great for a guy that doesn't want a really tall boot, these rugged above-the-ankle boots are still tall enough to keep the snow out, and are comfort-rated to -40 F.

3. Columbia 'Bugaboot Omni-Tech' - Hiker-Style Winter Boots

Looking like a cross between hiking boots, trainers, and winter boots, these big, bad boots from Columbia feature 200 gram Thinsulate insulation to keep you extra warm -- and they're pretty cool-looking as well.

4. Pajar 'Max' - Winter Boots for Men

There are times when you need a winter boot that's not quite so winter-bootish; that's where styles like the Pajar 'Max' come in.

With classic chukka styling, these boots look good and can easily take the place of shoes in any casual situation, while the suede uppers and shearling lining will help keep you warm on chilly days.

If conditions are snowy, icy or extremely cold however, you'll definitely want to stick with one of the more rugged boot listed above, or check out my top picks in men's snow boots.
