Women's snow boots are coming on the scene again, let yourself be invited to the world of your favorite brands that will take care of your feet even in the bitter winter. As such, snow boots have undergone some drastic changes since their beginnings, thanks to which you like to be seduced.

Stylish winter, comfy footwear

"Snow shoes", snow boots, whatever they were called at the time, appeared in their textile form (until then, wooden plates attached to the soles of moccasins were used in the snow) in the 1860s. They were made of velvet, lined with fleece or rabbit fur. They were closed with only one string and although they were insulated, they were impractical for women who wanted to keep their feet dry in winter.

Around 1940, salt began to be used to melt snowy roads and sidewalks. At this time, instead of a fabric sole, snow boots got a rubber sole. Whether it was a high or low sole, it represented progress in the development of this type of shoe, as the feet suddenly got more comfort and protection. Inventive ladies also put their feet in plastic bread bags before putting on their shoes, because they wanted to get an additional protective layer against the snow.

Already in the Victorian period, lace-up boots were worn in the horse carriage, ladies of the 20th century definitely wanted a stylish winter. Leather boots, often lined with fur, were popular in America and throughout Europe, they were easy to put on and take off, women could wear them both in the social circles and for leisure sports activities. And this is basically where it all started, functionality found style and women's snow boots began their life journey.

Branded and also on catwalk – shamelessly modern women's snow boots

The once dysfunctional and simple shoes have developed into a winter trend, and well-known designers have also joined the effort, elevating them to a fashionable piece. Women's snow boots received waterproof materials, sufficient insulation, a new purposeful design. They also conquered the catwalks, which is why even fashionistas, lovers of brands such as Miu Miu, Chanel, Calvin Klein are not against them today. If you also want to find a modern and refined winter look, it's high time to choose! For example, also in our Robelshoes e-shop.

How to recognize real snow booties and what is the difference between them and regular boots? Snow boots are primarily waterproof. Most of them have a high upper (although exceptionally you can also buy them in an above-the-ankle version) - to effectively fight the snow and a rubber sole. It is useful in wet, slushy and snowy terrains. Both adults and children like to wear shoes resistant to snow and puddles. After all, we know that even in winter nothing will stop our kids from exploring different outdoor spaces.

That's one of the differences between boots and snow boots - while boots are built mainly for the met environment, for well-maintained roads and trails, snowshoes can also withstand moisture.

You will also find the difference in the maintenance of snowshoes and boots. The first ones are made of easy-to-clean materials, the boots, on the other hand, will give you hard times cleaning. But this is reflected in the price of the footwear, snowshoes are heavier, less breathable and more expensive.

Insulation as another factor of winter footwear – snowshoes have medium or full insulation, with an insulating layer, boots can be chosen in any version. Those without lining are popular as well.
