They are available in both black and dark grey, with the classic yellow seam at the bottom.
7. Timberland Classic 6 inch premium
After many years, Timberland boots are still a popular classic in the shoe store. The durable rubber sole has a good grip and the seams are sealed to provide extra insulation.

3 tips for buying winter shoes
Look after them. Impregnate and treat your shoes according to manufacturer’s instructions and they will last a long time.
Think about your winter weather. If you live somewhere that gets a lot of rain or sleet, choose waterproof shoes. If get lots of snow, choose really warm shoes.
Maybe get a size up. If you hate the cold, it helps to wear extra thick socks or buy shoes with sturdy soles. If so, maybe you should choose a larger size to make space for those socks?
