It’s that time of year again! The leaves are changing, the air is getting colder, the sun is leaving earlier, and it is officially time to start digging into your winter wardrobe. Whether you’re bundling up for a cold day in the city or gearing up for a vacation in the mountains, they are some definitive shoe types you need in your wardrobe. Let’s look at what should be on your list and how to select the right styles for your needs…

Must-have Shoes for your Winter Wardrobe

Veldskoene
Derived from the Afrikaans word meaning “field shoes”, veldskoen have been worn by South Africans for centuries. The traditional style is a lace-up oxford with a crepe sole, but veldskoen have evolved over the years and now come in various colours and styles. If you’re looking for a versatile shoe to take you from the office to after-work drinks during winter, veldskoene are a great option.

Combat Boots
Originally designed for military use, combat boots are now a popular choice for all ages. They come in various colours and styles, but the key feature that sets them apart from other winter shoes is their fantastic insulation. Whatever environment your home takes on during winter, your feet will stay warm with combat boots.

Winter Boots
If you’re looking for a shoe that’s specifically designed for winter weather, you need a pair of winter boots. These boots are made with insulation and waterproofing to keep your feet warm and dry in the coldest conditions. In addition, they come in a variety of styles, from ankle boots to knee-high boots, so finding a pair that’s right for you is easy.

Sneakers
Sneakers are versatile shoes that can be worn year-round, but they’re especially great in winter. Most sneakers have insulation and waterproofing to keep your feet warm and dry, and their rubber soles provide traction on all kinds of surfaces. Whether you’re walking to work or going for a winter jog, sneakers are the perfect shoe for winter.

Loafers
The key feature of loafers is their versatility – you can wear them with dress pants for work or jeans for a more casual look, making them a practical ‘dress up’ shoe during winter. In addition, loafers come in various styles, from plain to studded, so you can choose a pair that truly fits your style preferences.

Tips for Selecting Winter Shoes

When selecting winter shoes, it’s important to keep both style and function in mind. Start by thinking about the types of activities you’ll be doing in the winter – will you be walking in the city or hiking in the mountains? Once you know what type of activities you’ll be doing, select shoes designed for those activities.

Another thing to keep in mind when selecting winter shoes is the weather. If you live in an area with cold winters, make sure your shoes are properly insulated to keep your toes toasty. If you’re living in an area with mild winters, you may not need winter-specific shoes, but it’s still a good idea to have a pair of veldskoen or combat boots on hand just in case.

With these tips in mind, you’ll be able to select the perfect shoes for your winter wardrobe. Stay warm and stylish all season long!
