I don't think I've ever seen them in person, but if I do, I may have to get a pair.</p> <p>Not to sound like a broken record, and I'm only sharing these because I have been wearing the freakin' things everyday for the past week at least - but here is a pair I just bought (North Face, naturally ). &nbsp;They aren't the most beautiful things, but they are totally waterproof, and have little nubby things on the bottom that harden into ice grips in cold snow, and then soften when the boots warm up so they don't click around on indoor floors . &nbsp;They are so warm yet totally lightweight on the foot I haven't even had to wear socks with them - lol. &nbsp;Sounds weird, I know, but when you throw a jacket and boots on to do the school run in the morning, who needs socks? &nbsp;:) &nbsp;</p> <p>I don't wear furry-topped boots much because &nbsp;most of my casual coats and jackets have a fur-trimmed something on them - and I have a bug about mixing furs (faux or not). &nbsp;I save my furry melton sorels for wearing with a plain puffer. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-snow-boots#post-1587123 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 15:35:09 +0000 abc 1587123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like the spot to put a name tag kind of like the ones seen on luggage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-snow-boots#post-1587119 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 15:31:40 +0000 viva 1587119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think mine have that but I will check. License maybe? In case you get trapped in an avalanche? Kind of morbid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-snow-boots#post-1587102 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 15:16:58 +0000 salt-sea 1587102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you - or anyone else? - know what the little clear pocket is for under the patch? What am I supposed to do with that? Do your other Pajars have that too, viva?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-snow-boots#post-1587084 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 14:32:14 +0000 viva 1587084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>salt-sea</b>! I like the Grip Zips. And I have to say, my current Pajars have held up really well -- lightweight, warm, and totally waterproof. I am seriously considering these. I also like them in navy.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-snow-boots#post-1587064 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 14:07:08 +0000 salt-sea 1587064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought a pair of tall Pajar Grip Zips in black. They are warm, have good traction and look pretty streamlined for insulated boots. I have insulated bean boots for shoveling, and insulated hiking boots for winter hiking, but wanted something warm and waterproof for urban use and 'dressier' occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-snow-boots#post-1586916 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 01:29:56 +0000 Jjsloane 1586916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have Sorel Tofinos that are very similar to the Joan of Arctics and I have found them quite waterproof, warm and stylish. I think if you are going for true weather in your neck of the woods the Sperry's for sure. The wedges are awesome, but don't strike me as shoveling snow boots. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-snow-boots#post-1586868 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 22:04:32 +0000 Anonymous 1586868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the j crew duck boot style and the Sorels! Can't help really, except to say that the removable liner on the Sorel's is very practical, and the shearling on the j crews might get full of pet hair (if you have pets).</p> <p>There are also some kind-of cute Merrells that are along the same lines.<br />Roots also has some nice leather boots (no liner).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-snow-boots#post-1586833 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 20:34:20 +0000 Suz 1586833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need new boots, too! Mine are the Kamiks (Brooklyn or New York style -- what Una has) but I determined that I am between sizes in these, alas. My current pair give me runner's toenail (GROSS!!) and the size up is too big. So I need to find another brand.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am following this thread!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Sadly, most Sorel styles don't fit me well. I do like the Tivoli (I think) and it fits me but it is not truly waterproof and said to lack real warmth. I need a boot that will go the distance.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-snow-boots#post-1586832 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 20:31:24 +0000 abc 1586832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Sorels for something different. &nbsp;And as you mentioned, maybe just a teeny step up, but not too dressy. &nbsp;They seem like they'd work well with your style but who am I to give advice on snow boots? wa ha ha&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-snow-boots#post-1586807 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 18:53:55 +0000 catgirl 1586807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Sorels!&nbsp; These?</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/sorel-slimboot-lace-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/sorel-slimboot-lace-black</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/sorel-the-newbie-black-fa15" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/sorel-the-newbie-black-fa15</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-snow-boots#post-1586784 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 17:54:30 +0000 viva 1586784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I may get some new snow boots this year. The ones I have are good but about 5 years old, so I am thinking about a refresh. Mine are Pajar, with a brown rubber foot and a brown and green plaid shin. Fun and casual, which is pretty much right for my lifestyle. But maybe it's time to pump things up just one notch? I don't know. &nbsp;I don't want anything too fancy, that's for sure.</p> <p>I like the snow boots below from JCrew.&nbsp;</p> <p>Or, I could keep on using my Pajars and just get a pair of the wedge Sorels for "going out" in the snow.&nbsp;</p> <p>My coats are bright pink, camel, and a soon-to-be-purchased puffer of unknown color. </p> <p>What do you think?</p>
