Snowy days call for boots, and you’re in luck with a constant supply of boot styles to meet your every whim. Some clothing styles call for strappy pumps, however, and they’re not off-limits either. Whether you are feeling practical or want to chase away the cold-weather blues with some flirty footwear, there are plenty of shoes online for women trying to get through another winter. New York City sets the fashion standard for the rest of the country, so here are some of the city’s hottest trends in shoes for the season.

 

Everything Old Is New Again

You may not believe your eyes but Mary Janes are back in a big way. The style has been updated with tons of colors and patterns, from refined pumps and thin straps to ballet flats in leopard-print designs. Look for them in all manner of heels, from blocks and pumps to wedges and flats. Check out what the men in NYC are wearing this winter too, with this overview of men’s shoes.

 

These Boots Are Made for Wearing

Boots keep getting better, and this year’s styles offer something for everyone and every style. Here’s a quick overview of what boots are in this winter in the Big Apple:

• Over-the-knee: The boots keep getting higher and this year, the thigh’s the limit, with over-the-knee models reaching high on the leg. Wear these tall styles under skirts or midis.
• Square toes: Flat across the top has a whole new meaning this year, with square-toed boots making a comeback.
• Combat: Toughness and femininity meet in chunky combat boots that you can wear with dresses and skirts or with jeans.
• Wide-shaft: If you like things roomy, this year is for you. Wide-shaft boots dress up any outfit, although form-fitting shafts are still in too.

Another feature of winter boots to note is heel height. It seems those are getting higher too, whether that heel is a wedge, full chunky sole, stiletto or something in-between.

 

Eye-Popping Pumps

Pumps are again in favor with a variety of eye-popping colors. There’s nothing like bright colors to perk up a grey winter day, and pumps are available in hot pink, vivid violet, canary yellow and more. Take it to another level altogether by pairing these bright accents with a pair of winter tights in another vivid color. After a day of wearing high heels, change into some comfy, discount sneakers, which are always in style.

 

Colors and Materials

Crocodile patterns are popping up on boots and shoes of all styles and in all colors, from brown boots to strappy heels. You’ll also see shades of the wild kingdom in a selection of zebra-print boots of varying heights. Furry feet are not just for animals anymore, and you can find shearling and other fuzzy materials lining not only boots but mules, sandals and pumps. Textured materials are also gracing the exteriors of a variety of shoes, and hot pink is in for a night out on the town.
