It’s all about those warm, fuzzy feels… on your feet.
Winter is a great big B, and among its nastiest symptoms are soul-crushing cold, general feelings of dread and discomfort, and an acute aversion to patio drinks. But there is a cure for winter, and that cure, is putting on boots that feel like slippers.
Have you ever had shoes so comfortable that you couldn’t wait to put them on? That feeling of joy that slowly rises up inside of you when you think about how they felt? Well, when you have the winter boot equivalent of those shoes, that deeply cozy feeling can be enough to overcome a lack of enthusiasm for even the coldest of days.
So, to help you prepare for battle, here’s our curated list of 16 vegan cozy winter boots – a list that’s basically the footwear version of a holiday movie marathon on the Hallmark channel.
