The first snowfall of the year is always so beautiful, with delicate snowflakes drifting through the sky and a blanket of pure white covering the ground. And then you remember that someone needs to go shovel that cold blanket off the driveway. Ugh. We say, if you’re going to have to trudge through the snow, you might as well do it in style. Here are 13 pairs of winter boots that might actually make you excited to brave the cold.
