Finding good snow boots that are equal parts cute and functional is a challenge. Luckily, podiatrist Priya Parthasarathy, DPM, has a check list that makes it easy to find the best winter boots with warmth and good stability to keep you (literally) on your feet.

“Make sure the toe box is wide enough, as a round toe is better than a narrow or pointed toe box,” says Dr. Parthasarathy. “Your toes should be able to wiggle. Check the inner sole of the boot; is it removable, is it thick and cushioned? Those are good signs that they’ll provide a lot of support. A removable insole allows you to use your custom orthotics, or more supportive insoles if needed, and a textured sole is important for traction during inclement weather.”
