A pair of winter-proof slip-on boots are invaluable. Bogs Footwear’s Classic Ultra Mid combines a rubber boot with Neo-Tech uppers and insulation. A slip-resistant outsole is designed for snow and ice. This is a comfortable boot you can easily slip on to let the dog out, but with enough style to wear to work on snowy days. While it may not be appropriate for ice fishing, the Classic Ultra Mid will keep your feet warm at the bus stop on a cold morning. Bogs makes a range of boots for men and women for recreational and work situations. MSRP $116. Details at www.bogsfootwear.com.–Shawn Perich
