12 Delightfully Chunky Boots To Make Winter Less Miserable

"I can't wait to bust out my snow boots!" said no one ever.

It's officially that time of year when we have to keep extreme weather conditions in mind when planning our outfits. Lucky for us, the clunky, chunky-soled grandpa sneakers that trended their way through spring and summer have a winter-ready counterpart, and they're here to *gracefully* get us through winter's ice, slush, and overall grossness sans any slips or spills. Oh, and they're actually cute.

From treaded combat and hiking boots to the fashionably clunky and waterproof, we rounded up the most practical boots of the season. While we wouldn't recommend trudging through a blizzard in many of these (though, with some, you totally can), consider these the perfect everyday option for when you don't know whether to expect a patch of black ice or a flurry of flakes here and there.
