Best Winter Boots 2018
The Boots Our Editors Swear by For Surviving Winter in Style

Ask any editor, and she'll tell you finding the right boot for Fall and Winter takes time and patience. Every season, there are new styles or colors to choose from, which can be overwhelming. That's why to make shopping easier this year, we polled several of our editors on their favorite boots (aka the ones they wear every single day). Their go-to picks range from classics like the good ol' black ankle boot to something slightly trendier for the season. Regardless of the styles, these boots are editor-approved to get you through the long Winter ahead.
Halogen Anita Boot
"This year, I'm loving the white boot trend for Fall. I quickly scooped up this Halogen ankle bootie ($120) and have been wearing it nonstop. They're supercomfortable thanks to a small heel and the leather is very soft, so it doesn't dig into your skin when you walk. I wore the booties throughout my travels in Japan, and the slim heel's even tough enough to withstand the streets of NYC." — Marina Liao, assistant editor, Fashion
Loeffler Randall Isla Bootie
"I've worn these Loeffler Randall boots ($450) for two seasons now. They're like a hybrid of a classic ankle boot and a trendy sock boot, with the added benefit of a walkable stacked heel. They lend a little sophistication to my casual clothes and are the perfect complement to the season's flowy dresses. In short, they're endlessly versatile, and I can't get enough of them." — Hannah Weil McKinley, content director, Fashion and Shop
M. Gemi The Corsa Boot
"I spend every Fall hunting for the perfect ankle boot that I can actually walk in, and this year, I got the M. Gemi Corsa boots ($348). This comfortable pair has great quality and feels designer, but at a more affordable price point. The boot comes in six different colors and even a leather choice!" — Krista Jones, assistant editor, Shop
Dr. Martens Persophone Platform Boot
"Ever since the supermodels picked up on the combat boot trend again, I've wanted to secure a pair of Dr. Martens. There's no boot more functional, but at the same time appropriate for a Winter night out than the Persephone Platform Boot ($160). The sole is heavy-duty but the make is comfortable. I refuse to take these off!" — Sarah Wasilak, editor, fashion
Everlane The Heel Boot
"I have two pairs of these Everlane boots ($235) that I bought last Winter, and they have held up remarkably well through snow and rain. They have just the right amount of heel and are incredibly comfortable. Plus, the pointed toe elongates my leg, which I appreciate as a short person. They look equally good with pants as with dresses and tights." — Nancy Einhart, VP, executive editor
Marc Fisher Over-the-Knee Boot
"I have been on the hunt for the perfect over-the-knee boots for a couple years now, and this Marc Fisher pair ($138, originally $230) are undoubtedly the ones. They hug my legs without being too constricting, and I never have to pull them up. The heel height is tall enough to feel dressy for nights out, yet comfortable enough to run around in all day. I love wearing them with tights and skirts — I may need to get a second pair because I love them so much!" — Macy Williams, assistant editor, Shop
Salvatore Ferragamo Wave Heel Bootie
"These Salvatore Ferragamo boots ($602, originally $860) are my absolute favorite, and they have quickly become a wardrobe staple. My feet tend to hurt when I wear heels (yes, even heeled boots), but these boots feature a block heel that make them comfortable to wear for hours on end." — Nikita Ramsinghani, assistant editor, Fashion
