Growing up in Indianapolis in the seventies, we didn’t just get snow, we got blizzards–a few famous ones at that.  My best memories include waiting to hear our district mentioned in the long list of school cancellations, then heading out to sled all day, returning at dusk to mom’s hot cocoa. The grand fun of the day overshadowed the Snow Boots fiasco…thankfully. Those ridiculous over-the-shoe rubber boots with impossible buckles only impeded my carefree spirit and did little to protect my feet from cold and near-frostbite. Snow boots have come a long way baby, and we’re here to share our favorites. We’ve found nine stylish winter boots sure to keep your toes warm, dry and comfortable.

Even if Meaghan Markle hated these comfortable snow boots, we’d still love them…but she does look perfectly adorable bopping about with her dog in the Kamik Sienna. Both the Kamik Sienna and newer model, Sienna 2 feature 200g of 3M™ Thinsulate™ insulation to keep feet toasty and a waterproof upper. The outsole is made of Kamik’s signature Rubber^He–a lightweight yet durable synthetic rubber, it offers superior traction and flexibility. Plus, it’s 50% lighter than natural rubber and is 100% recyclable–a win win.

A removable contoured insole offers moderate arch support. Word has it that the Kamik Sienna and Sienna 2 run small, so order up a half size or whole size if you want to wear thick socks. The Sienna 2 is available in whole sizes 5-11 for $119.95 from Zappos, Famous Footwear, Shoemall and Amazon.  The Kamik Sienna mid has the same features as the Sienna 2 but with a shorter 6″ shaft.

If you’ve experienced the polar vortex, you know it’ll make a sissy out of regular snow boots. Get serious this winter in the Baffin Chloe. Not only is it temperature rated for -40 Fahrenheit, it’s darn comfortable too. They’re much more lightweight than other popular boots with similar styling. They feature a toggle & cord fastener for easy on/off, a plush lining to pamper your feet, and good traction to help prevent slips. Find the Baffin Chloe  in sizes 6-11 for $185.95 from Zappos, Find a deal at Amazon.

Just because you have big or extra-wide feet or both doesn’t mean you have to wear stodgy snow boots. Look at these cuties by Propet! The Peri makes our list of best snow boots because it comes in sizes up to 12 and is available in medium, wide and extra-wide widths–how wonderful. Zappos customer Gabriella raves about the Propet Peri:

I have extremely wide feet and rheumatoid arthritis in my feet. My right foot also has a huge bunion. I have a very hard time finding boots to wear. These boots fit like a dream and I can walk in them so comfortably!

Find the Propet Peri boot in sizes 6-12, three widths for $124.90 from Zappos, The Walking Company, and Amazon.

When close to 80% of Zappos customers award a boot with 5 stars, you take notice. The Sperry Saltwater duck boot is as functional and comfortable as it is darn cute. All Saltwater boots are waterproof and feature non-slip outsoles for excellent traction on wet surfaces. If you need an extra layer of warmth, look for styles with thinsulate, shearling or wool linings. Find the whole collection of Sperry Saltwater duck boots in sizes 5-12, medium to wide widths from $99-129 at Sperry.com, Zappos, and Nordstrom.

We love a boot that comes with both laces and a side zipper. Don’t have time to lace-up–just zip and go! The Earth Origins Sherpa Scarlett features a waterproof suede with plush faux fur lining. And in true Earth Origins form, the Sherpa Scarlett has a wonderfully cushioned (yet removable) footbed with enhanced arch support . Find the Sherpa Scarlett in sizes 6-11, medium and wide widths for $79-115 from Amazon, EarthShoes.com, PeltzShoes.com, and DSW.

We admire a budget-friendly winter boot that still exceeds standards for cold weather comfort. The Spring Step Vanish is as cute as it is warm, efficient and durable. If you loathe laces, the side zipper will get you out the door in no time. The waterproof nylon uppers and faux-fur lining allow you to stay and play in the snow. If you need more support, the footbed is removable to accommodate an insole. Runs big, so order down if between sizes. The Spring Step Vanish is available in sizes euro sizes 36-42 for $69.99 at Zappos. $36-69 at Amazon. Another affordable snow boot with a zipper and good reviews for comfort is the JBU Snowbird.

Not a fan of laces or zippers? How about a pull-on? The Bogs B-Moc boot features nifty side pull handles for easy entry, and that’s just the beginning of what makes these snow boots extra special. They’re 100% waterproof, comfort-rated to -22F, lined in soft faux-fur, and a nice wide toe box–and there’s even a toggle should you need to snug it up at the ankle. Order down if between sizes. The Bogs B-Moc is available in whole sizes 6-11 for $79.90-120 from Bogsfootwear.com, $54-120 at Amazon, $100-120 at Zappos.

It’s warm, waterproof, cute and comes in widths up to 4E! The Propet Lumi Tall Lace is scoring high marks from online reviewers who appreciate it’s roomy toe box that accommodates bunions. Available in sizes 6-11, four widths for $94.95 from Zappos, $60-95 from Amazon, and $84.95 from Shoes.com,
