Baby, it’s cold outside. The temperatures are finally dipping, heralding the first wave of snow.
But, that doesn’t mean you have to battle the elements in a pair of cumbersome boots. This fall, shoe designers are putting a feminine twist on cold weather styles with a range of waterproof styles that bridge fashion and function.
These seasonal updates take their cue from key footwear trends that include novelty floral prints, tassel looks and Alpine-inspired hikers.
