Whoever thinks snow boots are the only way to get through cold weather hasn't yet discovered the magic of winter sneakers. But fear not: I'm here to change that and introduce you to cozy, cold-weather-friendly kicks that will become your best friend this season. Not to say snow boots aren't essential (especially lug-sole boots—trust me, they're your friend), but winter fashion can go beyond chunky, waterproof boots without sacrificing any warmth or comfort.
For days when the weather isn't a snowy, slushy mess or when you're on the go and need to quickly slide your cozy sock-clad feet into something easy, winter sneakers are game changers. What counts as a "winter sneaker," you ask? Think waterproof fabrics (goodbye, slush), insulated footbeds (those biting winds got nothin' on you), and comfy design features that'll keep you cozy and warm. Ready for a cold weather upgrade? I found all the best winter sneakers to shop now based on internet reviews, design elements, and my own personal testing. Oh, and as a bonus, they're all on-trend picks that'll keep your winter 'fits on point.
Our top picks for the best winter sneakers for 2024:
From chunky white sneakers and corduroy kicks to shearling-lined cuties and retro-inspired silhouettes, keep on scrolling to find your new fave sneakers just in time for winter and those holiday wishlists.
