6 Pairs of Winterized Sneakers That’ll Keep Your Feet Dry and Warm Until Spring

So far, this season's been mild in most areas of the country. But winter is coming, and with it all of the weather that makes it difficult to rock sneakers, e.g. sleet, snow, and other assorted sludge. Rather than retire your favorite footwear from now until spring, however, those of you facing heavy combat with the elements over the next couple of months may want to consider investing in winterized sneakers.

Whether waterproofed, equipped with heat-retention features, outfitted with soles that can provide extra traction, or designed with some combination of all three, these sneakers are built specifically to take you from point A to B without sacrificing form for function. Even sneaker brands known for their no-weather SoCal vibes—think: Converse—are starting to outfit their shoes for use beyond the skate parks of summer.
