Having to choose between staying warm and looking fashionable is one of the most frustrating winter wardrobe dilemmas.  Dressing for freezing winter mornings is hard enough as it is and then factor in that you still want to arrive at work looking somewhat stylish – now that sounds almost impossible.

This winter to make your life that much easier, you should invest in a pair of all-weather winter boots that are not only incredibly warm and capable of trekking through rain, slush, and snow but also stylish enough that you won’t receive any skeptical glances from your coworkers for your footwear choice.

Opt for a pair of boots with a warm, breathable liner, a reliable sole that’s not only made for stomping through the winter elements but will prevent you from slipping and falling on your behind after slipping on ice.

Fortunately for you, we’ve rounded up our favourite functional-yet-stylish winter boots that will not only get you through the unpredictable winter weather but also give you some serious style cred in the boardroom. In fact, these boots are so incredible that you might actually wake up excited to walk to work for once.
