Whether you are battling the salty and slushy roads during the winter here in Toronto, or trekking through a foot of snow in the more western provinces, who says the boots to get you through it all have to look worn and torn? More commonly, we are seeing new fashionable footwear to last us season after season, with different styles to get us from point A to point B, and fabrics to prevent discoloration structural damage. If you’re willing to spend extra money on care products, opt for suede or leather, which can both provide warmth and look chic, as long as their exteriors are sprayed weekly. For maximum comfort go with the winterized rain boot, complete with fuzzy linings. Here are some sleek and smart options for you that win both the fashion and function debate.
