I went shopping with my family at DSW today because my daughter needed new sneakers and my husband wanted some casual leather boots. Well, if you know me at all, I can’t resist a shoe clearance rack. So I browsed the size 6 section before leaving the store.

The pickings were kind of slim but a pair of winter boots caught my eye. My family lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, so winter boots are an essential part of my wardrobe from November through April. I liked the quilted plaid fabric (very on trend right now) and the tag said “Made in the USA” — certainly not common these days. I tried them on and they felt warm and durable. Allegedly the boots are waterproof and they promise to keep my feet warm to minus 4 degrees. So that should cover me for everything but an extreme polar vortex. Let’s be real, if it’s colder than -4, I shouldn’t be going out anyway…

I am not familiar with the Kamik brand so I Googled it when I got home. Turns out, fun surprise, the Kamik Sienna boots that I bought are also Meghan Markle’s favorite snow boots! Hey, I’m glad to be in good company! Meghan lived in Canada, so she definitely knows a thing or two about dealing with cold and snow.
In addition to DSW, you can also find similar boots on Amazon and Zappos.

At any rate, I’m glad I’ll be dashing through the snow in style this winter. What are your favorite winter boots?
