The other day, I was on a special mission: I had to help my girlfriend Val find some good boots for the winter. The poor thing had been suffering with some party boots that as soon as the cold weather arrived, they made her feel like she had the frozen feet. One day over coffee, Val was complaining that her shoes weren’t offering the warmth and support she needed, and I promised her I’d find the perfect boots before the temperatures stopped doing their job of dropping.
After returning from the office, he passed right in front of a Skechers store near Marina del Rey, which, to my surprise, was having an incredible sale in their winter footwear section. It’s perfectly understandable, because in Los Angeles few people need winter shoes, except us, who are going to Seattle for a few days. As I browsed the shelves, I saw several models that offered both style and comfort. I remembered what Val had mentioned: she needed boots that were practical and still made her look good. She was about to find just what she needed.
Finally, I found a pair of Skechers winter boots that stood out for their sleek design and great padding. They were perfect: With a non-slip sole and water-resistant material, they would be ideal for the surprise rain showers that always seem to fall when you least expect it in Seattle.
Skechers Slip-ins: Cozy Escape – Snowpuff
I decided on the Skechers Slip-ins: Cozy Escape – Snowpuff, shoes designed to offer maximum comfort and warmth but that combine with all types of outfits. The upper part combines synthetic leather with an aged finish, padded panels treated with 3M Scotchgard to repel water and stain resistant, and a soft faux fur interior lining.
The Slip-in design makes them easy to put on and take off your foot without having to use your hands or even bend down. The insole is made of the well-known Skechers patented Memory Foam, and the sole is flexible and light, but with good traction for wet or slippery surfaces. I bought them in olive, but they are available in brown and black as well. The price is $62 and women’s sizes range from 5 to 11.
I Also Bought These Beautiful Skechers Boots
The Skechers Relaxed Fit: Easy Going – Game Hour are boots designed to keep Val’s and anyone suffering through the winter’s cold feet warm. The uppers of these boots are made from a quilted woven fabric and treated with Scotchgard to repel water and stains, so they’re great for getting out and about no matter the weather: your whole outfit will get wet, but these Skechers boots are completely water-slip.
The inner lining is also made of synthetic leather and keeps the foot, from the ankle down, fully covered against the cold and wind. Like the previous ones, it is made of 100% vegan materials, with a Memory Foam insole and non-slip sole. You can find them in three colors: olive, chestnut, and black, and in the same women’s sizes. The price of the pair is $85.
Our Favorite Winter-Ready Skechers Clogs
When Val came home, I was waiting for her with her two pairs of boots, and something like a “bonus track”, which are these cute BOBS Keepsakes Hi-Rise – Zen Out, which have a gigantic sole that keeps the foot inches off the floor away from the winter cold.
The body of the shoe is made of a vegan suede that combines with a plush on the edge, to prevent cold from entering. I gave it to Val as a gift in natural color, but they are also available in chestnut and pastel pink. I paid $50 for them, but it’s worth every relaxing moment with Val during the winter, when you don’t feel like going out.
