Who doesn't love the winter? The season is the perfect time to showcase how deep your closet is. It's the only time of year you can layer leathers over cashmere sweaters, and hoodies under vests, filled with goose feathers, without looking like an idiot.

However, with the cold weather comes some consequences that force us sneaker fiends to find alternative forms of footwear. Those Blazers aren't going to save your toes from the lurking frostbite, and we want you to keep all of your toes. So, we compiled this brief list of boots to help you find something to fight the cold. Whether you are a guy with classic style, the trendy type, or a rich kid we've got you covered.

Classic Guy

Classic, rugged and stylish boots have made their way back into the trend cycle. The work boots your dad wore to his construction job are actually cool again. In a recession, it is best to buy things that will last. And these will look good -- even after they're worn out.

Cool Guy

Just because you are wearing boots, that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your love for limited, or exclusive footwear. With these picks you can maintain your "cool guy" status, without actually freezing.

Ransom for Adidas - Summit Boot


If there is anything the Canadians know better than bacon, it's outdoor performance gear. These Adidas Summit Boots are built for the cold and they are pretty refreshing. Your friends won't believe they are Adidas . . . unless they are just as cool as you.

Timberland X Alife
40 Below

When you think of the 40 Belows, visions of '90s rap immediately come to mind. Recalling a time when the most popular rappers did the "East-Coast stomp", Alife has teamed up with Timberland to re-produce this classic heavy duty boot. The boots were made using leather from the storied Horween factory in Chicago, and feature a Vibram outsole that you won't find on any other 40 Below. Basically, these bad boys will have you feeling like Tupac in Juice.
