• A promising review: "I needed a snow sneaker for driving and walking when only couple inches of snow, I wear a 10 in a regular sneaker but ordered a 10 1/2 to wear with a thicker sock. They are very comfortable and give great support. They are well made and so comfortable that I sometimes forget to change when I come in from outside. Width of shoe is a regular fit and laces allow to tighten if needed." - L.L. Bean Reviewer

• A promising review: "As a huge fan of ON running footwear, I had high expectations for these. Sure, they are expensive - but boy are they nice. They require no break in/adjustment period, slip on and off effortlessly, and are as comfortable as it comes. I can’t comment on the waterproofing features as I haven’t yet worn them in the rain/snow, but I fully expect them to meet that challenge too. They’re also super sleek looking, which is always nice. I don’t think you’ll regret buying these ones" - Zappos Reviewer

• A promising review: "I just retired from the Air Force back in September and prior I was wearing SFB Gen 1through Gen 2 and I must say that this version is much better than both versions I have worn! Grant it that this pair is more mid cut versus the full version of the SFB Gen 2, SFB is better with the fit and comfort particularly the cushioning! I got the black pair as a gift from my wife for my retirement." - Nike Reviewer
• Features: React technology, Flyplate technology, sticky rubber

If you want a Nike shoe that's still capable of handling harsh snow and ice, the Nike React SFB is your guy. Well-crafted with a sticky grippy rubber that prevents slipping and sliding, this shoe utilizes some of Nike's most helpful features such as their React and Flyplate technology, which helps with seamless movements and response time. Seeing as though the SFB also keeps it's signature sneaker look (albeit a little chunkier than normal), you still get a casual look that's fashionable, and plenty of comfort thanks to the mesh upper membrane. Priced as high as $170, these shoes are a little on the expensive side, but still worth it considering its durability and versatility.

• Features: Vibram® Megagrip outsole, Fresh Foam X cushioning

Some of us are brave enough to bare the cold weather for brisk walks during the winter season. This isn't us, but if it's you then the New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro Mid is more than capable of providing enough support to get the job done. A shoe that plays no games when it comes to providing protection against winter climates, the Hierro Mid is crafted with a textile and synthetic upper, textile lining to make the shoe more breathable, a lace-up closure for security, and a padded collar and tongue for additional comfort. Speaking of comfort and traction, the Hierro Mid also boasts New Balance's Vibram® Megagrip outsole and Fresh Foam X cushioning as the final finisher. Considering the price, this is a great buy.

• A promising review: "I was recently shopping for a light trail/hiking shoe and found the TEVA CANYONVIEW. The overall appearance of the shoe and sturdy sole caught my attention and learned that the CANYONVIEW was a brand new addition to the TEVA shoe lineup. I tried the shoes on and found them to be quite comfortable" - Teva Reviewer
• Features: Float-Lite midsole, nylon shank

Just about every winter sneaker has waterproof capabilities (it wouldn't truly be a winter shoe without it), but very few are built for the water the way Teva's Grandview GTX Waterproof Sneaker is. Made with waterproof leather, the Grandview GTX features a waterproof bootie construction below the ankle part of the shoe, along with zippers and tongues that have water-repellent coating. Plus, there's also a lightweight breathable mesh to help you with airflow/circulation so that way your feet don't get too hot, an EVA midsole, and Teva's durabrasion rubber outsole which is designed to take on tough conditions. Under $100, this is definitely a good buy.

• Features: External TPU heel, Responsive UA HOVR™ cushioning, sockliner material

You have to give Under Armour a continued round of applause for their constant elevation in the technical game when it comes to both their clothing and shoes. As quiet as it's kept, Under Armour has become one of the most functional and technical brands on the market, which is proven by their x UA HOVR™ Phantom 3 SE Warm Running Shoes. What you get with the Warm Running Shoes are an insulated upper and thermal lining for warmth, a sockliner material to help with retaining heat, UA's responsive cushioning for added padded and comfort, an external TPU counter for stability, internal speed laces which is something you don't see very often in sneakers, and a rubber outsole that has a pattern that promotes traction and durability. 

Don't sleep on Under Armour as they are a brand that delivers in the technicality department.

• A promising review: "Recently purchased my first pair of Columbia shoes ever, a pair of Peak Freak II mens’ trail shoes and I absolutely love them!

• Features: HDry® membrane, TPU heel stablizer, onSteam® fabric

What we loved most about the Glacier Trail Sneaker were the reflective cord hiking laces as they are waterproof and customizable. Aside from the laces, however, the Glacier Trail Sneakers are a great way to play around a bit from a fashion standpoint as they look like something that belongs on a runway. The comfort and durability is also present with the shoe's innovative HDry® membrane that makes it waterproof, a TPU heel stabilizer, and onSteam® fabric lining for extra breathability. Sure there a bit on the pricier side, but it's Canada Goose we're talking about here.

• A promising review: "Before I ever bought my first pair of HOKA's, I had never bought a pair of shoes online without trying them on first. But after that first HOKA purchase, I've bought all five pairs of mine online without trying on and they all have fit perfectly. My recent purchase of my Trail Code GTX was no different. These were the first HOKA's that weren't runners or walkers so I was a little worried they would fit differently. They did not disappoint!" HOKA Reviewer
• Features: GORE-TEX footwear fabric, EVA midsole, HUBBLE® heel, Swallowtail™ heel design

The Trail Code GTX is another option to consider for the winter as it's a highly technical shoe that delivers when it comes to functionality. What are some of its standout features you ask? Why only GORE-TEX footwear fabric, an EVA midsole, HOKA's HUBBLE® heel to help with heel to toe transitions, and a Swallowtail™ heel design that gives you comfort on rough terrains. Made with recycled textile and rubber, the GTX makes for a durable winter sneaker.

• A promising review: "I love these shoes. There reliable in winter so long as you take other precautionary measures (wear merino wool crew socks in the winter!). I've bought three pairs in 3 different colorways, and I'll always come back to these as a great water resistant trail shoe." Nike Reviewer
• Features: GORE-TEX layer, Nike React technology

We talk a lot about rubber outsoles because they are crucial to providing grip and traction in tough weather conditions. However, the Nike Pegasus Trail 4 GORE-TEX takes another approach to durability by opting for less rubber in the outsole. What does that mean exactly? Less rubber makes for smoother transitions which in turn helps with increasing durability and traction. Also present in the Pegasus Trail 4 is Nike's React technology which helps with making the shoe lightweight and more responsive. Priced between $111 - $160, the Pegasus Trail 4 is a good investment to make when it comes to winter sneakers.

• A promising review: "I was extremely skeptical in buying these, considering they look like vans which I like however, Van Always hurt my feet when walking.

Let me tell you it did not disappoint." - CARIUMA Reviewer

Should you want to take the thermal route as it pertains to sneakers, the Cariuma Therma is a super comfortable and environmentally friendly sneaker that gives you heavy duty coverage even though it looks like it doesn’t.

• A promising review: "I really like these, they have been very comfortable and very warm on some cold wet days lately, I also don't mind wearing them with business casual outfits or a night out on the town. They look good are very comfortable and very practical. I do find that they run a little bit bigger than my other Sorel boots, but this is welcome as it will allow me to wear a thick pair of socks, on really cool days and in the snow. Overall, the laces tighten up snug and fit well." - Zappos Reviewer
• Features: Waterproof, PU Leather Overlays, molded EVA

The Explorer Next from Sorel is a shoe designed to go the distance with its leather and textile craftsmanship and waterproof seam-sealed construction.
