'You do tend to get what you pay for'
Because Canadian winters are so long, we’re in our boots for months at a time–usually wearing them daily—so they better last. But juggling practicality and style is no easy task—is it too much to ask for toasty toes and stylish options?
I was also hoping he’d shed some light on what boots should cost. After all, the price for women’s winter boots seems to be all over the map. Cheap and cheerful Canadiana Women’s Crystal boots cost less than $60 right now. A pair of Sorel boots sporting faux fur might set you back $135, while Roger Vivier Viv Run Crystal Buckle snow boots run an astonishing $1,787.
According to Smith, while a cheaper pair under $100 probably won’t last long , paying between $100 to $200 will likely get you a quality boot. He recommends brands such as Rieker, Clarks and Rockport, which, to his experienced eye, balance price and quality. And give that zipper a good yank. If it’s sticky in the store, you’ll likely encounter problems down the road, says Smith. It should move up and down with ease. In fact, when it comes to buying boots, a zipper can tell you a lot about the product’s quality. “If the zipper used in the process is a cheaper one, there’s a good chance that the rest of the materials used in the manufacturing process were cheap, too,” he cautions.
