Functional Fashion: My Winter Boot Picks for 2021

Although I love winter fashion, especially all the cozy sweaters, one of the things I dreaded was being unable to break and wear my stiletto heels when it was snowy, icy, and cold. Sometimes (and even still to this day!), depending on the situation and event, I would still break out the stilettos heels and risk breaking my neck to create the look I wanted. Thankfully, winter boots have become more and more on trend over the past couple of years and have been made to look cute and fashionable. From chunky heels, combat boot silhouettes, faux fur, and safe wedges and heels with treads, the winter boot can now complete and elevate a whole outfit. I am so thankful I have super cute and trendy options to look fashionable yet stay functional and safe. I’m featuring and linking up four of my favorite winter boot finds that are also super affordable!

BOOT ONE: ALEADER WINTER BOOT FROM AMAZON

A few of the main reasons I picked up these winter boots from Amazon were the faux fur, the functionality, and that they were almost exact dupes for the much more expensive Sorel Joan of Arctic and Sorel Tofino (also linked up) boots! These are my favorite to wear when there is a ton of snow and it is icy, as they are the perfect traditional snow boot.

BOOT 2: SONOMA SUGAR GLIDER BOOT FROM KOHL’S

When browsing after Christmas sales one weekend, there were two Sonoma boots from Kohl’s (keep scrolling to see the other one) that I knew I had to have when I saw them. Again, dupes for Sorel boots (this pair looks like the Sorel Blake Boot), I loved the safe heel and red laces.

BOOT 3: VIVIANLY LACE UP BOOT FROM AMAZON

A best seller last winter, these boots from Amazon are still super cute and functional! They remain a go-to in my closet, and I love how I can just wipe the soles down to keep them clean.

BOOT FOUR: SONOMA GARTER ANKLE BOOT FROM KOHL’S

Another great dupe for the Sorel Joan of Artic II wedge boot, these super cute boots from Kohl’s made it into my cart ASAP. I love these with leggings, and they also look great with tights and skirts.
