After all, the right pair of snow boots aren't just fashionable; they can also make it less likely that you'll end up with an injury from slipping and falling, which is pretty important if you ask us. Still don't believe that you're better off? We've rounded up some of our favorite snow boot looks for your perusal, and they're guaranteed to make you a snow boot believer.

Choose tall boots for snowier conditions

A taller snow boot is likely to provide you with better coverage when walking in the snow. Plus, it will provide you with some added warmth. We've chosen this look because it's warm and cozy yet doesn't sacrifice a fashionable approach to this much-needed winter footwear.

Shorter boots may help you walk more easily

While taller boots might be the better choice for trudging through snow, going for a shorter boot might be a better choice if you find it difficult to walk in winter weather conditions. What's more, there are some orthopedic snow boots available for purchase, for example, as well as boots intended to fit orthoses.

Opt for a well-known boot brand

Of course, shopping for winter boots doesn't have to mean that you have to buy something designer. Some of the boots profiled by outdoor retailer REI include those made by Merrell and Sorel.
