Don't think it's the physical appearence. More akin to the 1000 mile/iron ranger meme in that the boot has a history/seems old timey.

there's no such thing as both ''good'' and 'effay'' when you're talking about real winter.

just get a pair of fucking sorel, otherwise get the fuck out of here with your pussy ass beanboot wearing winter.

A lot of fashion actually plays off of "goofiness." Look at how chunky sneakers come and go in popularity, also oversized shirts and cropped pants. In fact,

The Bean boot is an old design, but its resurgence in popularity is another example of this. The boot has a definite aesthetic,

Also, the boot arguably looks more "goofy" when brand-new than when broken in (even mildly). I think the boot looks god-tier after being worn a couple of months in winter.

Not a winter boot in the least

>> No.11771152

Alright, when it comes to real winter boots, there are a few things to keep in mind when discussing aesthetics vs practicality.

One, ankle boots are pretty shit in places that get a decent amount of snow. Just the way it is. Might want to think about getting something a little taller. Doesn't need to be up to your knees, but I'd suggest high ankle to mid calf.

Two, grip. If you have to deal with ice and snow you might want to get a boot with some tread. I have a wavy crepe sole on my boots, and even that's not a great option. I've fallen on them once when walking on ice.

Three, insulation. You might think about getting a little bit. It's not the biggest deal if you don;t though since different socks can make enough of a difference.

Four, water resistance. It sucks having wet feet in cold weather. You can always waterproof leather, but nothing kills leather faster than water and salt. This shouldn't really discourage you from getting a leather boot if you like, but just remember it'll be more maintenance than normal. Black collects salt stains easy. Avoid suede unless you really like a destroyed look.

All of this stuff makes for a boot that's generally more clunky than sleek. Just the way it is.

>>11771152
Oh, a bit further on water protection, how the boots are constructed matters. Something like Clarks will not only get destroyed and provide no grip, they'll leak too.

Anyway, the Crocket and Jones snowdon is probably the best option for a sleek, made for winter boot out there.

Besides that, you have plenty of decent options. If you don't mind a chunky look you could always just get something like Sorels and call it a day, but any decent workboot can be winterized if they don't already have a winter version. Just buy a pair with a lug or commando sole, as well as as some shaft height. Tall Thorogoods, Redwing Harvesters, Wolverine field boots, Corcoran Jump Boots, Doc Martens, ect. Any decent hiking boots should be fine too.

For sleeker options it's a bit of a challenge. I'd look at equestrian or paddock style boots. Treaded chelseas, waterproof pull ons, sleeker engineer style boots, ect.
