Best Men’s Winter Boots for Hiking – Salomon
Regardless of your outdoorsy aspirations (or lack thereof), hardy hiking boots have established themselves as foul-weather footwear essentials over the past few years. The ideal pair offers untold levels of comfort, ankle support, full-grain leather that only becomes more supple with time and wear, and additional extras like sealed seams and a rugged sole for trudging through both puddles and snow.
Although hiking boots aren’t typically regarded as fashionable footwear, we have to make a case for the brand Saloman. Their men’s winter boots offer all of the features you look for in a rugged and tough hiking boot, like the reverse chevron “Contagrip” sole and flexible fit, but in a more modern and stylish package.
To style, team them with other tough-as-old-boots menswear staples like raw denim, corduroy, twill or flannel shirts and cable knit jumpers. Or be bold and use them as a striking counterpoint to tailoring – just not for your next job interview.

Best in Style Men’s Hiking Boots – Church’s
If you’re not ready to go full Bear Grylls with a pair of hiking boots, there are other, subtler ways to infuse your winter look with some outdoorsy influences. A sartorial hybrid, the brogue boot comes with the same reassuring weight and solid construction of hiking boots, but with all the wing-tipped, country-manor smartness of brogues.
The McFarlane Highland Grain Brogue Boot from Church’s is the quintessential brogue boot, from its top-notch materials to its traditional decorative brogueing. The hard-wearing highland grain leather, storm welt, and lightweight rubber sole are just a handful of the features these smart shoes possess, all wrapped up in a refined package with just the right amount of country appeal.
As a general rule of thumb, you can wear your brogue boots with any outfit you might normally wear with traditional brogues, so lace up a dark brown or black leather pair with heavier wool suiting, and smart trouser and shirt/cardigan combinations. Don’t be afraid to work in heritage fabrics like corduroy and tweed for added interest either.
