Well, it's official: sandal weather is over. We had a good run on the double digit temperature front, but fleece-lined slippers have now become as much of a fixture in my morning routine as my coffee. With the cold weather creeping in and likely to stick around for the next 6 months or so, now really is the time to start thinking about switching your footwear game into winter mode. Autumn and winter usher in a host of activities where appropriate footwear is an absolute necessity. Whether you're planning a weekend hike in the woods, a romantic stroll through a leaf-strewn park, or simply looking to navigate icy sidewalks in style, there’s no room for an open-toe here anymore. Instead, our focus should be on hard-wearing practical shoes that boast snug and style in equal measure. Luckily for us, Foot Locker's just dropped its Winterized campaign to celebrate the brands who have been waiting for the cold snap to arrive so they can have their time to shine.

Trust Me – These Are The 3 Footwear Brands You're Going To Wear All Winter Long

Stay warm and keep your footwear game on point with Foot Locker's latest winter fits from UGG, Timberland and more.

Foot Locker has handpicked iconic cold-weather footwear brands to ensure your feet stay warm, dry and fly for the season ahead. There's three standout names in the mix - Salomon, UGG, and Timberland - who are all synonymous with making the kind of footwear we crave at this time of year. UGG, famous for their ultra-comfortable sheepskin boots, found themselves an unexpected place in the spotlight even during the warmer months with their mini boots. But for winter, it’s all about the classics – higher cut and doubly cosy. Timberland, with its reputation for robust and stylish work boots, are waterproof, insulated and exactly the kind of style that looks excellent contrasted with a floral midi dress. Then there’s Salomon, whose rugged goretex trainers are the sweet spot between street style and performance – perfect with wide leg denim and your slouchiest sweatshirt.

So, which style will you be making your footwear personality for the foreseeable? If you’re someone who lives in sneakers whatever the weather, Salomon's XA Pro Fusion ADV will appeal. If you’re desperate to find ways to wear shoes that cram in the same level of cosy as your slippers at home, it’s got to be UGG's Classic Short Boots. For a practical pair that looks a little more casual than the leather ones you already own, Timberland's 6-Inch Premium Boots will never fail. But there’s plenty more to discover beyond these – and I’ve curated them below. Scroll on to discover the best winter footwear styles for men and women that your feet will surely thank you for.
