No matter what your opinion may be about colder weather, we simply love this time of year because we get so many wear out of my boots. While our collection has grown over the last year (cowboy boots and chunky platform boots), we still have a lot of styles that we believe will be timeless in 2022.

Some may choose to go with a new set of trends for the New Year, but we believe that it doesn’t make sense to fix something that isn’t broken. Below are six trends that we think have been doing the fashion trend set well. After chatting with our editors, they were able to agree. The temperatures in January and February tend to be lower than December, so if your winter boots aren’t on the list, you should start searching. We have gathered the top trends and shopped the best available on the market so you can browse through them to find the right pair.

Scroll down to see our favorite boots for the coming year, as well as outfit and shopping ideas.
