On Trend with REGARD Magazine .... Winter Boots

Not too long ago, a friend of the editors, Mr. Hector B., voiced his concern about women’s footwear. He was quite adamant about his disdain for Ugg type boots  stating, “I vowed to never ever be interested in women with Uggs”, and “not only that, but have your ever walked behind a girl with year old Uggs and they have a gangsta lean to them?  You know when your heel is where you ankle should be! Oh man, that is not a good look!” 

Enough said, Hector.  So, the question remains; what winter footwear do men find acceptable for women, that women will also find warm, comfortable and suitable for winter conditions?  Ladies, thanks to Hector, I’ve done the research.  At every price point, here are my picks for best winter boots, minus the Ugg-ly. 

-Look for boots with grooves and tread on the bottom. This will eliminate slipping if it’s raining or if you happen to live where it snows.

-If you want warmth, comfort and height, a wedge is a great option. They are easy to walk in and maneuver in if the weather becomes in climate. Plus, the wedge makes it possible to combine a little sexy with functionality.

-If you are going to wear a heel in winter weather, stacked heels are the best. They have a larger heel surface area which provides better support, than say, a stiletto shaped heel. This will alleviate some of the riskiness of wearing a high heel during the cold season.
