The Sorel Barn Zip is a classic boot that can be worn anywhere from the ski resort parking lot to the apres-ski scene. The sole is designed to provide excellent traction, so it will serve you well while you are lugging your ski equipment to and from the lodge, and the waterproof suede detail not only adds a nice touch, but it seals out moisture, too. Plus, a lightweight but highly effective insulation will keep your feet warm wherever you go.

Both the "low" and "mid" version of the Timberland Snow Lizard are warm and waterproof. These boots can also be worn as sporty shoes that can be used for trekking around the resort, as boots are insulated; they can be used as trail running sneakers with special plates that encourage balance and stability; or even used as shoes used for snowshoeing, as they are built to accommodate snowshoes. Essentially, these shoes are a great buy – they will take you around the resort, giving you traction on icy or uneven terrain and keeping your feet warm and dry.

Function meets a subtle hint of fashion in these boots from The North Face. Completely waterproof and insulated in the thorough, quality style of The North Face, these boots have a grippy outersole and can be quickly laced. The neutral colors go with almost anything and the faux fur lining adds just enough style to these classic, masculine snow boots.
