Snow boots may be practical, but they also tend to be rather bulky, cumbersome, and, in most cases, unattractive. Fortunately, more companies are tackling this problem, undertaking the gargantuan task of constructing weatherproof footwear that women will actually want to wear. The Marc Jacobs for Native Jimmy Boot ($95 at MarcJacobs.com) marks a step in the right direction.
The limited-edition boot features laminated Japanese denim uppers and matching waxed laces for a slick, fashion-forward twist. The molded EVA outsole, meanwhile, guarantees that your feet stay dry when stomping through the snow and, thanks to their shock absorbent quality, that you don't slip in even the iciest of conditions. Made without any animal byproducts, the Marc Jacobs for Native Boots will appeal to veganistas and fashionistas.
