When the weather is cold, wet, snowy or icy you 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 "McMurdo" - Insulated Boots

Fabulous with a capital "F," these boots from The North Face offer crazy cool styling and unique good looks. With gripping soles for added traction and PrimaLoft insulation, these boots are practical as well.
2. Kamik "Northfield" - 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.
3. "Beacon" - Winter Boots from UGG

I love these boots because they have a simple, practical design, but absolutely ooze style. Available in black, golden tan, or rich chocolate these boots have a shaft height of 9" and combination suede and leather uppers -- fantastic.
4. Oakley "Casing Mid" - Hiker-Style Winter Boots

Looking like a cross between hiking boots, trainers, and winter boots, these big, bad boots from Oakley feature thermolite insulation that is meant to keep you warm in temperatures to 10 below zero -- and if you like a manly boot, these are pretty good looking too. Available in a good selection of colors, these ankle-high boots feature aggressive treads that make them perfect for icy conditions.
5. Timberland Boots - Torrance Chelsea

There are times when you need a winter boot that's not quite so winter-bootish, that's where styles like the Timberland "Torrance Chelsea" come in.
With classic casual styling, these boots look good, and can easily take the place of shoes in any non-suit situations, while the waterproof leather uppers will still help keep you dry on wet days.
If conditions are icy or extremely cold however, you'll want to stick with one of the more rugged, snow boot styles listed above.
