Stop using your old boots as winter boots because odds are they're not helping as much as you think
0:05
That's why I dug through tons of products, compared their features, and looked at real
0:09
reviews to find the best winter boots. And if you find something you like, I'll leave links to all
0:14
the winter boots in the description below. First up is the Columbia Bugaboot 3, which I ranked as
0:19
the most budget-friendly. And these boots are about half the price of what they really should
0:24
be, but don't let that fool you. They still hold up well in cold environments to make sure your feet
0:29
stay warm and most importantly they're also able to handle wet snowy and freezing weather so you
0:36
can count on these boots. Now when we look at the upper mesh this mixes waterproof leather with a
0:42
molded shell and on the inside Columbia's omni-tech lining keeps things breathable but what really
0:49
makes a difference is that molded shell. This is what creates a rubber barrier where you're most
0:54
likely to get wet and there's even 200 grams of insulation for warmth without making them
0:59
overly bulky. Now moving on to the Teclight midsole, this is what gives you cushioning that's
1:05
light but still supportive so you can wear these all day without worrying about blisters. Plus the
1:11
foam keeps its cushioning instead of flattening out after a few months and the bottom Omni grip
1:16
also shouldn't be overlooked. They're able to grab onto icy sidewalks and slushy trails with ease
1:22
so if you're looking for a boot that just works and won't leave your wallet empty then you can't
1:27
wrong with the Columbia Bugaboot 3. Next is the Timberland Premium Boot, which I ranked as the
1:33
best classic look. And you've probably seen these everywhere, and that's because they just work
1:39
Timberland has been committed to quality and durability and they made their wave in the 60s
1:43
with their waterproof technology. Then they went into the mainstream in the 90s because of hip hop
1:48
And even people who don't need a work boot just get Timbs for their looks. But that doesn't mean
1:53
they lost touch with their roots. There's still a solid pair that can be versatile and can be
1:58
expected to last a while. The build is solid and most importantly waterproof and this starts at the
2:04
upper. It's made of nubuck leather with a sealed seam that prevents slush and rain from entering
2:10
and this waterproofing is baked into the leather so it won't wear down after a few storms
2:15
Inside is 400 grams of Prima Loft insulation made from recycled materials and that keeps you warm
2:21
without bulk. Now the instals are anti They cushion and support your feet during long days so if you standing or walking all day your feet knees and back feel way better And the classic rubber bottom has these deep threads
2:36
making it perfect for gripping all kinds of surfaces. Now this pair happens to run small
2:42
So if you plan on getting these, just make sure to go up about half a size
2:46
So if you're looking for one of the most classic boots that you can use, not just for work, but also going out
2:51
then you won't regret getting these Timberland premium boots. Up next is a Duckfeet Aarhus
2:57
which I ranked as the best pull-on, and these are the type of boots if you want to keep things
3:01
simple. You just slip your foot inside, give it a good tug, and you're good to start your day
3:07
They're made in Europe, and you can feel the difference between cheap boots and these right
3:11
away. The leather is vegetable tan, which takes way longer than regular tanning, but it's worth it
3:17
The leather is thicker and tougher and it gets better looking as it ages just like wine
3:23
Now the surface has this bumpy texture which is what makes it unique
3:27
so no two pairs look exactly the same. Now inside the boot is where you'll notice the biggest difference from any old boot
3:35
It's loaded with sheep's wool which not only keeps you warm but also is incredibly comfortable
3:41
Real wool is what pulls sweat away from your skin and stays warm even when wet
3:45
Now the toe area is roomy, so your feet won't feel squeezed and you're able to spread your toes
3:51
naturally. And this'll be the one boot that won't have you wanting to rip them off at the end of the
3:56
day. So if you're after something that not only keeps you warm, but also comfortable, then you'll
4:01
love these duck feet Aarhus. Next up is the Russell Moccasin Backcountry Premier Build
4:06
which I ranked as the most premium. Before, we were looking at the everyday type of boots
4:12
but these are quite far from that. This is the pair you take out on special occasions
4:17
and that's because these do come at a steep price. But for the right person
4:21
they're totally worth it. For starters, they're handmade in Wisconsin by Russell Moccasin
4:25
and they've been making boots for over 100 years, since 1998. Russell Moccasin is small and family
4:32
owned, and they still make boots the old way, by hand, one pair at a time. These boots stand 7
4:37
inches tall and your feet stay plenty covered and they don't have a bulky look to them
4:42
so it gets bonus points from that. But where it really shines is the leather
4:47
The front has two layers of leather which gives it an extra waterproofing and durability and it needs it as this is the area that blends in most when you walk Now the heel area is molded by hand to hold your heel in place and this keeps your foot from
5:01
sliding around. That means fewer blisters and less fatigue. Then pull loops make them easy to get on
5:07
And let's not forget about the hardware. It's made of solid brass, so these won't rust. And the
5:13
bottom is vibram rubber with grooves that are the perfect size so you'll get a good grip. Now even
5:18
Even though they're tough, these boots are surprisingly light and flexible. The moccasin construction makes them more flexible than regular boots, so you get toughness
5:27
without giving up comfort. So if you're someone that cares about craftsmanship and doesn't mind paying extra for quality
5:33
then the Russell Moccasin Backcountry Premier build just might be what you're looking for
5:38
Up next is the Keen Revel 4 Polar which I ranked as the best for women
5:42
Now a lot of these boots on the list can be bought in women's sizes, but I like this one
5:46
the most. does most things right. For starters, it has a great waterproof layer that Keen likes to call
5:52
Keen Dry. This will block out snow and slush, but will let sweat escape your feet to stay dry
5:59
It's made out of 200 grams of insulation, also known as Keen Warm, and it's made from recycled
6:04
materials. And there's even a heat shield under this boot. And using it is pretty impressive
6:10
as it's rated for up to minus 25 degrees. Now the bottom is what really makes a difference
6:15
It comes with grip, key and freeze, which has a rubber bottom with 5mm deep grooves
6:21
And this will grip way better than regular rubber on ice. And if you're someone who falls easily, then you'll love this next thing
6:28
It has a stiff plate inside that stops the boot from twisting too much
6:32
so it'll protect your feet and ankles from rolling around. And this is more of an all-around boot
6:38
Yes, you could use it to work, you could use it to go hiking, and you could even use it to go out
6:42
Although I will say it's not the most stylish looking shoe on the list
6:45
But if you're after a boot that does it all without spending a fortune, then the Keen
6:49
Revel 4 Polar wins my vote. Next up is the Sorel Caribou which I ranked as the best value
6:56
And this is the second boot on the list that has a classic look. Except this one is more synonymous with winter
7:02
And Sorel has been around since the 60s so it's stood the test of time
7:06
They've earned their spot in many people's hearts over the decades and that's because
7:10
it does almost everything right. They keep you warm, they're comfortable, and they look good
7:15
Now these are the pair you get if you want something to stand the test of time just like Levi Now the upper is made from full grain leather mixed with ballistic nylon Plus there a rubber shell that wraps around the bottom to keep slush and puddles out Now the tongue
7:29
goes all the way up and connects to the sides and this blocks the water and snow from coming in
7:34
through the laces. And lots of boots miss this and that's where water gets inside. And inside you get
7:41
a 9mm felt liner that you can take out and it's also machine washable. The felt keeps you warm and
7:47
you can pull it out to dry after a long day. And under the liner, there's a felt frost plug in the
7:53
bottom which stops heat from escaping through your sole. And without this plug, your toes freeze no
7:58
matter how thick your socks are. The insulation isn't super thick, but it works for most winter
8:03
days. Temps in the teens and 20s are no problem, and for normal winter stuff like shoveling or
8:08
walking the dog, then these work great. The bottom is rubber with deep grooves so they bite into snow
8:14
and ice. So if you're after a pair of boots with a proven track record that do just about everything
8:19
right, then you can't go wrong with the Sorel Caribou. Finally at number one is the North Face
8:25
Chillcat 5400, which I ranked as the best overall. And whenever someone thinks of the North Face
8:30
it's always the jackets, but they make all sorts of gear and they specialize in winter. And if you
8:36
want to stay warm and stylish in the winter, then the North Face is the brand you go for. And these
8:41
boots take the top spot because of that. And let's start with the warmth. This boot has 400 grams of
8:46
heat seeker eco insulation. It traps heat even when temps drop to freezing and you can wear these in
8:52
single digit temps without cold feet. Durability and waterproofing are just as good and the upper
8:58
mixes full grain leather with suede and everything is sealed at the seams. You can walk through snow
9:04
slush or shallow water without worrying about leaks. Plus the suede parts aren't just for looks
9:10
Suede is more flexible than smooth leather, so the boot bends naturally with your foot
9:14
And for comfort, there's an EVA midsole that's light but supportive. Then a cushioned footbed absorbs shock and keeps stress off your joints
9:23
And of course, it has a grip like no other. You get solid traction on icy sidewalks and rocky paths
9:29
And these small details matter. The heel clip works with snowshoes. The D-ring holds gaiters if you're going into deep snow
9:35
So if you want a boot that does it all this winter, then you'll love these Chill Cat 4400
9:41
And that's all for today. I hope this list helped you choose the perfect winter boots
