We Found Definitive Proof That Warm, Stylish Boots Do Exist

First the bad news: Winter is here. And as you probably already know, snow and style tend to be mutually exclusive—especially when it comes to footwear. Those pretty little kitten-heeled booties you wore all fall will result in frostbitten toes come December 1st, while your average cozy boots will just have you hoping you don’t run into anyone you know.

And now for the good news: As a shopping editor who also happened to grow up in one of the 50 States’ frostiest territories (that would be Minnesota, or Minnesnowta, if you’re corny), I learned early on that it is actually possible to find boots that will endure the elements without also making you feel like you've given up on style.

And the 10 pairs ahead prove the point with their perfect balance of faux fur, fringe, and soft suede. In fact, these outliers are so adorable, you might catch yourself wearing them even when you don't technically have to.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention: They'll set you back less than $150 a pair.
