Winter Boots

[So Hung]

I'm looking for a pair of some winter boots for my trip to Steamboat this December. I would like them to be waterproof.I will be using these for my non skiing days and night outings. These will be used once a year (winter vacations) so I'm trying to stay under the $180 mark.

anyone?

I just picked these up...http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urba...h=true&isProduct=true&parentid=SEARCH+RESULTS

They will hold me over until I get some Aldens in Spring

Not water proof though :/

Chippewa, Bean boots, Sorel...so many to choose from under $180..

 

[So Hung]

Sorel boots look more stylish compared to the ones mentioned. The others look really bulky and most look like work boots

And some would say they are ugly.

I said they are the most stylish, not all that nice lol

So I ordered some Irish Setter boots by Red Wing from zappo to try out the fit. This boot is really well made and comfortable but they were really bulky. My jeans would not even get half way down, leaving the bulkiest part of the boot out. Any other suggestions? Pics?

How about this one? http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/57044?feat=49464-ppxs&dds=y

I don't own them, but they looks nice. Waterproof with a lugged Vibram sole.

Ya... seriously. They are like the waterproof version of the Katahdin Iron Works Engineer Boots people on here seem to love.

Waterproof version:

It's just a bit over $180, and looks a little less bulky than the Timberland that the OP posted.

I need some good waterproof boots for winter and it seems like sorel is one of the better choices. I'm worried about the fit, though. Any suggestions? Do they fit sloppily? Will I need to size down?
