Winter shoes can be tricky. You want to express your unique style but still need proper footwear to navigate icy or snowy conditions safely. Don’t worry — Ohio Valley Goodwill has you covered with footwear options that are both fashionable and functional!


With an ever-changing selection of shoes, including boots, Goodwill is your go-to for winter footwear. On your next shopping trip, be sure to check for these key winter styles:

When you’re walking around in the ice and snow, you need a sturdy boot with a lot of warmth and grip. Look for snow boots that have rubber soles with lots of grooves. A smooth sole is like a recipe for slipping!

#2: Combat Boots

For a more fashion-forward approach to winter footwear, consider swapping your snow boots for military-inspired “combat” boots! These rugged lace-up boots can go with just about any outfit, from casual leggings and skinny jeans to flowy skirts and dresses. They provide a high level of structure with a low, 2 to 3-inch heel for comfort in winter conditions.

#3: Ankle Boots

Ankle boots are another closet staple that can easily take you from fall to winter to early spring as the snow slowly melts. Because they’re available in all types of heel heights, you can choose how dressy you want to be with ankle boots ranging from casual slip-on “Chelsea” boots to rhinestone-studded stilettos.
