We're in the thick of it. Winter, that is. And to top things off, some province-wide lockdowns have been lifted just in time for record snowfalls to keep people from leaving their homes.

Besides the treacherous ice and salt that's covering city sidewalks and suburban crescents, plows have begun to create the wet, slushy mud piles that everyone looks forward to wading through (kidding).

Does anyone really care if your shoes get dirty? No. It's been a pretty classic Canadian winter (despite the COVID restrictions) and if you've lived through one before, you know you're expected to deal with the terrain.

But you know who probably cares about their shoes being soiled? You. That's why a solid pair of weather-proof winter boots are a wardrobe necessity during this time of year, but not the kind you may be thinking of.

Picture your first pair of winter boots: They were probably heavy rubber, nylon-clad waders complete with a drawstring at the front to keep snow from falling over the lip of their fleece-lined interior.

Now picture your next pair: Sleek, leather and fur-adorned booties that you can wear with almost anything in your closet. They're winterized, but in disguise.

Sound better than pulling on your clunkiest boots and dragging them through the snow like ankle weights to work?

...We thought so too. Luckily, seasonal sales are underway and you can score fashionable styles at rock bottom prices.

You no longer have to be embarrassed by what's below the ankles. Seriously, winter boots can be cute - just take a look at some of our favourite pairs below.
