Whether it’s water, dirt or snow, winter is hard on your shoes—especially your boots.

Boots are great to wear in cold weather because of their durable rubber sole which helps prevent slippage on wet or icy surfaces. However, because they are worn and trekked through wet, dirty terrain, they tend to wear more easily.
