I'm trying to find a good quality pair of boots for this winter in Wisconsin. I'm a Texas boy so the best pair of boots I have is a set of cole haan's. I've looked through Alden, JCrew (the chippewas look slick) but am trying to stay under 300$. Any recommendations? Or do your followers have any? I don't want to lose any toes while I'm up there.
Snow, ice and salt are generally going to mess up any “nice” boots you’d buy. Best way to fight back is to get boots that’ll keep your feet dry and are bad enough to take the punishment.
I’ve been a convert to L.L.Bean Boots. Virtually waterproof and the best thing I’ve found for dealing with Midwest winters. Oh, and they’re cheap.
L.L.Bean also has these Katahdid Iron Works boots that look pretty tough when I saw them in stores last year.

I couldn’t survive without my Sorels in winter, and I always get compliments on them to boot (unintentional terrible pun but it stays) sorel.com

For X-Mas, I did get a pair of Irish Setters. You can get them at Cabela’s or other sporting stores. Beautiful, benodiferous and middling in price (~$160)

Sorels and Bean Boots are the only heavy winter boots I eff with. Work boots do NOT cut it in New England when the snow really flies.

Thank you for giving such a pragmatic answer. I’m sick of seing bloggers recommend $300+ leather boots for serious winter wear.
