How To Choose The Cosiest Boots For Winter

When the winter weather starts to howl through the trees

, its time to turn your attention to keeping out the chill and start opening up your wardrobe of warm clothes. This is particularly the case with outerwear such as coats, scarves, hats and, of course, shoes and boots. After all, the first place we start to feel the cold is in our hands and feet and there is nothing worse than having to stomp around on the cold streets without the comfort of a nice pair of gloves or comfortable pair of shoes. In fact, there is nothing nicer than a warm and dry pair of boots when the rains starts to lash down and they have the added benefit of keeping the bottoms of your trousers dry when the deluge really begins. Boots, like shoes, come in a wide array of styles, designs, colours and materials, with some more suitable for the cold and wet weather than others. So what should you be looking for when it comes to buying the best boots for winter?

Leather is by far the best material: offering strong, durable and supple support that looks great and feels fantastic. Leather is more able to withstand the rigours of hard wear and can be brought back to its original lustre and shine with the addition of a little polish and elbow grease. As with most things, quality is the foremost consideration and its worth remembering that there are different grades of leather even when it is 100% pure. So, take the time to find a brand that you trust and make sure you fully inspect the leather to judge its quality and see if you think it will last. Poor quality leather has a tendency to become grainy and pitted after a time and may deteriorate further.

Fit is obviously central and a good pair of boots should provide enough support to the ankle to be comfortable, but not so much that movement is restricted. Getting this balance right can be tricky as it often takes some days to wear a pair of shoes in. If youre not sure about the fit, then try wearing them around the house for a few hours at a time. So long as the soles of the boots arent marked or scuffed, you should be able to take them back to the shop for a full refund. However, make sure you check with the store first to see what their returns policy is.
