This has likely happened to you—you’ve got a nice pair of sneakers on when you step in snow or slush—the water going right through the canvas of the shoe and soaking your feet with bone-chilling water.

You may not be aware of it, but you are sorely in need of a winter sneaker. These are made of studier, water-resistant materials in place of canvas to keep your feet dry. And the best part is that there’s every type of winter sneaker to suit your style and needs.

Snow Sneakers

These are essentially boots but with the look and feel of a sneaker. They have more padding than a normal sneaker (including in the tongue), and the upper is generally made with suede or other fabric that’s stain- and water-resistant.

Skater-Style High Tops

Don’t sacrifice the look of your favorite high tops just because it’s not warm and sunny outside. Vans has created a high top that’s water-resistant and has a sock liner to keep the inside dry and warm.

Hiking Sneakers

Hiking shoes will always be designed with rough weather in mind. They will be water-resistant and have extra rubber in the soles to keep your feet stable as you navigate that snowbank.

“Winterize” Your Current Shoes

Another option is to waterproof the shoes you already own. Red Moose’s Water and Stain Repellant Spray is the perfect coat of protection for your footwear.

And when it comes time, our sneaker cleaner is effective and affordable. This foaming cleanser deep-cleans the soles, tops, and tongues of both sneakers or any other shoe that has a white sole, as it’s safe on all fabrics. Dirt and stains come off your shoes in just a few minutes with this handy product. You can also save 15% by subscribing to have regularly sent to your door.
