These Are The Best Warm & Waterproof Sneakers

I don't know about you, but I'm totally dreading the second winter actually hits in New York and I'm living in a slushy, snowy, freezing tundra. No matter where you live (well, if you experience seasons), gearing up for winter is a major undertaking. And after days in my rain and snow boots, I'm always dying to switch up my shoe selection. Luckily, I've found the best warm waterproof sneakers that will keep you from dying of shoe boredom this winter.

As much as I love my suede winter boots and furry snow boots, there comes a time when I'm dying to switch things up in the shoe department. Whether I'm heading to brunch with friends, going to the gym or running errands, I love the cool, casual look of a pair of sneakers. But during the winter, my beloved low-top Converse and Nike Frees become water magnets that will ensure my feet are freezing by the time I reach my destination.

In those cases, what you (and I) really need is a pair of warm, waterproof shoes that, coupled with a cozy pair of socks, will keep your feet warm. They're no snow boots, but these sneakers are a perfect addition to your winter wardrobe.
