Icy roads are no problem if you’re wearing a good pair of winter shoes. To make sure you get through any weather, as extreme as it may be, we’ve put together an all-weather shoe guide. Find out what to wear for anything ranging from sightseeing to mountain climbing.

Autumn/winter shoes for the city

If you’re living in a city and are used to hopping from one tram onto another instead of walking, unlined shoes and boots such as high Vans or Chelsea Boots are a good choice. They keep your feet dry during brief showers and are suitable for the office, too.

For sub-zero temperatures in the urban jungle

Whether you’re in the city or the mountains, when temperatures sink below zero, things start getting damp. This is why it’s crucial to have water-resistant shoes, which cover your ankles and keep your feet dry with nubuck leather or smooth leather.

  • Waterproof

Snowfall in the city

When it starts snowing, wearing shoes that are water-resistant isn’t good enough; our shoes also need to be lined and keep our feet warm. Just like the follwoing models that are lined with wool, fur or warm fabric.

  • Waterproof
  • Lined

For snowball fights in the mountains

These shoes will make sure you don’t lose grip, even on ice: These high boots with tread grooves in their rubber soles are great companions when walking in snow and will keep your feet dry all day long.

  • Waterproof
  • Lined
  • Slip-resistant

For mountaineering and long mountain hikes

If the sky is the limit: High boots with sealed seams and complete leather upper are impermeable to water and snow. With a felt inner boot, thermal-reflective liners or Kamik’s patented Zylex technology, your feet are guaranteed to stay warm and dry in extreme weather conditions.

  • Waterproof, additional rubber protection
  • Lined
  • Slip-resistant
  • Some with removable inner boot

These little helpers will add extra protection in cold and wet weather:
