Winter brings with it so much joy and merriment. It's that time of year when the entire family comes together to celebrate the months gone by and better ones to come. It also coincides with the most pleasant weather when the temperature drops by a few or dozen degrees, depending on which part of the world you are. In all likelihood, that makes it delightfully chilly with a nip in the air. Which brings us to yet another amazing part of winter; its fashion! Winter fashion is a class in itself. It finally gives us the chance to dust off those cardigans and shawls and wear them with elan, even if it's not really cold enough. Footwear has its fair share of fun as well with sandals and flip-flops being switched out for boots and sneakers. Well, it's that time of the year when that very stylish switcheroo is possible so what else is left for you to do other than to start shopping? To update your closet, choose from 8 kinds of winter footwear you need this season which we've compiled into a helpful list.
Winter Footwear For Women: 8 Kinds Of Winter Shoes
Your clothing closet may be ready for winter but is your shoe closet? If that's a no, then these 8 kinds of winter footwear are exactly what you need to choose from.
1. Thigh High Boots
A favourite of the celebrity crowd, with their amazingly chic quotient it's not hard to see why thigh high boots find their way into every star's closet. They also add high coverage over the legs and are most suited for very cold weather.
2. Combat Boots
Now these are the kind of boots that ooze rugged charm. Too cool for school and usually laced down the front, they are either of ankle-length or higher and also make for a comfortable choice to walk in.
3. Chunky Sneakers
Hear us out. Sneakers may be a year-round staple but especially in countries which do not experience winter weather in all its majesty, chunky sneakers add coverage, insulation and of course, that super cool sneaker flair.

4. Booties
A pair that's almost a boot but not quite there yet is what these are. Usually shaped similar to a boot in the front with a heel at the back, their coverage is cropped and ends around the ankle itself.
5. Slouchy Boots
Want your style to scream chic without looking like you're trying too hard? Then slouchy boots are the way to go. Generally until the calves in height, they are defined by their casually slouchy length that pairs gorgeously with skirts and dresses.
6. Fleece-Lined Boots
Snuggly shoes were made for cold days and nothing says cosy more than fleece-lined footwear. Whether you wear them around the house or with an oversized sweatshirt and jeans, they'll make sure your feet stay toasty throughout.
7. Chelsea Boots
Want a pair of boots that's actually wearable with your everyday outfits without looking stuffy or making your feet sweat. Here's the one. With their casual flair and comfortable fit, you might not want to get out of them all season long.
8. Heeled Boots
