A good pair of winter boots is a must for every man.

In fact, it’s likely that most men will need more than one pair of boots to wear this autumn/winter season.

The reason for that is functionality: everyone needs a pair of solid waterproof boots they they can rely on when the rain starts to fall or the snow comes down, but a different pair entirely is needed if attending a social occasion.

Broadly speaking, most men’s boots can be categorized as Chelsea boots or chunkier boots which can be called hiker or walking boots.

Which ones you choose mainly depends on your personal style preference, but both are a great option. If you can’t decide between the two then you can always get one of each.

The most important thing is that you choose a pair that fits well and protects your feet from the elements.
