Best OverallA rugged, warm winter boot for deep snow, outdoor work and cold weather sports. It is heavy and bulky, and no temperature limit is listed.
A light insulated waterproof boot for winter walks and cold weather hiking. The insulation is moderate, so it suits active use in the cold more than standing still in deep freeze conditions.
A warm, easy-on snow boot with a duck-boot style for muddy, chilly days. It is water resistant, not waterproof, and sizes are not listed.
A versatile medium stiff snowboard boot for riders who want to push into bigger features, with a wide last for higher volume feet. Riders with narrow feet should choose the standard width version.
A warm, flexible barefoot-style winter boot for walks and travel on snowy days, with a side zipper for easy on and off. The thin sole gives less cushioning than a standard snow boot.
A precise, customizable men's ski boot for skilled skiers, with a BOA dial on the shell for fine fit changes. It suits experienced skiers more than beginners, and GripWalk soles need compatible bindings.

Snow and winter sports boots on this page include insulated snow boots for children and adults, winter hiking boots and snowboard boots. The first decision is the activity, because snowboard boots must match the bindings, while snow boots for walking and play focus on warmth, waterproofing and grip.
Warmth and waterproofing are the next questions. Insulation ratings and temperature guides help compare warmth, and removable liners make drying easier. Waterproof membranes and sealed seams keep feet dry in slush.
Grip and fit come next. Deep lugs and winter rubber grip ice and snow, and some boots accept traction devices. Leave room for warm socks without making the boot loose.
Children's snow boots with easy closures such as hook and loop straps help young kids dress themselves, and lightweight designs make walking in snow less tiring. Boots with removable liners dry faster overnight. For winter hiking, insulated boots with a waterproof membrane and a gaiter ring keep snow out on deep trails. Check the temperature rating against the conditions you face, and try boots on with the thick socks you will wear. Dry boots away from direct heat, which can crack rubber and leather.
Before buying, check the activity, the insulation, the waterproofing, the sole, the closure and the sizing. For snowboard boots, check the flex and compatibility with your bindings, and dry boots thoroughly after each use.
