All-terrain vehicle: 12 pairs of ugly, but charming winter shoes
Last summer we got used to the idea that the ugly sneakers and birkenshtoki have the right to life and look best in combination with deliberately beautiful things. Judging by the collections, the designers took up the resuscitation of the ugly winter shoes on the same principle. Here you can pay attention to the shows Marc by Marc Jacobs, McQ Alexander McQueen, Acne Studios, Chanel, Kenzo, Moschino and Thakoon Addition. Obviously, warm, but terrible shoes not only save in the cold, but also meet the latest trends. We found twelve pairs of ugly winter shoes in online stores and we are sure that neither Russian cold nor slush will scare such shoes.
Jimmy choo
Few people would think to look for winter shoes at the luxury brand Jimmy Choo. However, these snow-white boots with a lining of lamb prove the opposite. They look safe and tidy, but judging by the grooved sole, the ice in them is not terrible. We approve.

Baffin
Canadian brand Baffin dog ate things for outdoor activities. Their shoes are worn by professionals from geologists and travelers to lifeguards. However, hunters and fishermen are hardly aware that they wear things in a "wild" style. These hiker boots are close in shape to ugly sneakers like adidas, but unlike the latter, they are suitable for the Russian winter. A pair of Baffin shoes, of course, is durable and technologically advanced: materials retain heat and drain moisture, saving them from frost and puddles.

Salomon
The French brand Salomon knows what winter shoes should be. The company, founded by Georges Salomon in the Alps in 1947, began as a ski repair company, and later grew to a sports brand focused on the production of winter equipment. These boots with a reflex surface are as ugly just as beautiful. They are resistant to moisture, do not slip on the ice and - importantly - are warmed with artificial fur and cover the ankle. The manufacturer promises that even in a 25-degree frost they will be comfortable. The only negative is shipping in America: it makes sense to connect friends.

Marc by marc jacobs
Of all the ugly winter shoes, UGG felt boots, which many recklessly combine with jeans and down jackets, are the most favorite for buyers for some reason. And even the British Vogue recently tried to rehabilitate these shoes, comparing the ugg boots with the birk stocks. We offer an alternative to the UGG - Marc by Marc Jacobs nylon felt boots with fleece lining. They are also terrible, but they do not get dirty. Besides remind slippers. If you do not impose great hopes on them, then a walk in the park will fit.

Baffin
It is gratifying that Canadians Baffin are represented in Russia: you can find winter, almost snowboard boots on the site. British women Katie Hillier and Luell Bartley stylized the similar footwear in the current season for Marc by Marc Jacobs. Judging by the show, such a pair will not only fit into a hunter's nylon total bow of a hunter from central Russia, but it will also work with a T-shirt dress, overalls, skirt, top, wide trousers and shirt, or even a classic coat. Dare!

JOG DOG
The Italian brand JOG DOG is young - it appeared only two years ago, but it is actively developing on the market, including the Russian one. Items JOG DOG can be searched in the Central Department Store, the network "Rendezvous", NO ONE or order online. It is noteworthy that the brand produces all winter shoes in Italy. This laconic pair of winter boots is also technologically advanced: it repels water and saves from the wind. If you think that dutik boots are horror and mediocrity, say this to Miuccia Prade: she also releases such ones.

Nike
Manufacturers of sneakers are also introducing technology for the cold season. So, for the second winter in a row, Nike presents a collection of SneakerBoot insulated sneakers. All pairs are waterproof and insulated. This season, in addition to the winter Air Max, Nike included wedge sneakers in the collection, inspired by the 1976 and 1998 sneaker designs. LunarElite Sky Hi SneakerBoot not only looks futuristic, but also protects from slush and light frost to minus five. Note that the sole is made using soft Lunarlon foam, so you can walk for a long time and feel comfortable.

Icebug
The Swedish brand Icebug exists since 2001 and specializes in the production of sports shoes for off-road running in any weather. The main thing in this pair is not only the absence of unnecessary details, but also functionality. Boots are insulated (they promise that you will not freeze in them even at minus 20), they do not let in water, and besides, you can run in them in winter: the sole does not slip. The brand has a similar model without laces. It is noteworthy that in the new collaboration Opening Ceremony and adidas Originals there is a similar model.

Raf Simons x adidas
For the autumn-winter collaboration with adidas, Raf Simons rethought the snowboard shoes and eventually created these rubber boots. It is noteworthy that the Belgian took the original adidas sneakers from 1984 Rising Star as the basis for the design. They are not lined, so they should be worn with warm thermal socks, but the shoes have an ideal design and waterproof surface. This pair lived up to sales, however, only in large sizes. But now it is sold 4 times cheaper than in September. Someone lucky.

Moon boot
Judging by the name, the brand creates shoes in which you can land on the moon. VI is really on the creation of this model of the Italian Giancarlo Zanattu just inspired the landing of a man on the moon in 1969. Although for walking along the Russian streets, boots-lunar rovers seem to be almost more suitable than for the moon. This pair is resistant to cold, moisture, slip, and the inner part adapts to the size and shape of the foot. You can search for a similar model in the Sportmaster stores or refer to the brand’s website.
£65
Native shoes
Extremely controversial, but waterproof Native Shoes, mods still manage to wear nicely, combining with something classic and casual. We believe that this pair of shoes has potential. For example, they can be worn with a laconic midi dress and faux white fur coat or a classic wool coat. We also found similar shoes, but with a fur lining, for 22 pounds. There are plenty to choose from.
$80
The Original Muck Boot Company
The American brand The Original Muck Boot Company exists since 1999 and offers waterproof shoes for hunters, gardeners and adherents of equestrian sport. Footwear is extremely durable and practical, and in its assortment every year there is an increasingly more cosmic type of rubber boots and shoes. This pair looks like candy and will easily survive the slush and salt. The brand also has a fleece-lined Arctic collection worthy of attention. The company promises comfort at minus 40 degrees overboard.
