What type of boots to choose for walking in the snow?

To enjoy your vacation in the mountains in complete peace of mind, it is important to be equipped with suitable shoes. First of all, you need to pay particular attention to the choice of soles so that you don't slip on icy pavements. Choose a thick sole to keep your feet dry when walking in the forest or on snowy expeditions. When it comes to materials, choose leather over suede, the former being more resistant to humidity than the latter. Finally, as far as the model is concerned, opt for high boots: lace-up boots, furry boots, knee-high boots, etc.

So don't be put off by harsh winter weather and check out our selection of the perfect snow boots, ideal for those who love the mountains and the ski slopes. If you're more into sledding than skiing, this guide works too.
