Every Fashion Person Owns One of These 29 Sneakers That Are Ideal for Winter

"A sneaker girl never gets cold." Or at least that's what I thought until I had to carefully waddle through the snow in a pair. Some people are lucky to live in more moderate climates than New York City so can show off our regular kicks, but for us East Coasters, a thick pair of socks is required along with special styles. For me, high-tops and shearling-lined sneakers are currently high on the list for their warmth and protection.
Regardless of the weather, there are some It-girl sneakers that are worth wearing no matter the weather. We can't forget that with the ups and downs of winter there are bound to be easier days to walk around with our sneakers on. Every season, I'm interested in buying a new pair, so below find 29 options that I'm seriously considering (and you should too).
If you like your Converse All Stars but feel too cold in them during the winter months, you need to try these shearling-lined ones.
I love to have a slip-on pair handy for when I am just running out for a quick errand and don't want to waste any time on pesky shoelaces.
This shade is going to pair very well with your winter color palette.
I'm always waiting to see what Golden Goose's next move will be.
These sell out every time they're replenished, so act now before they're gone.
Loewe has made me fall in love once again with anything retro.
Winter is a great time to trade in your white sneakers for an off-white option.
If you're thinking about how you'll style your sneakers for winter, note the sock choice.
I just found out that Reformation has sneakers, and I want in.
For snowy days, you might want a pair like this that will keep your ankles warm.
The perfect gift for any label lovers in your life.
A timeless fashion-girl favorite.
I'll leave you with the perfect pair for a high-performance moment.
