There’s no denying it - winter has officially arrived across the country, albeit a little bit early. With the season comes the snow, slush and rain that Canadian winters are famous for, making the right pair of snow boots a definite must-have this season.
There’s nothing worse than soggy feet after stepping outside, which is why it’s so important to find a pair that holds up to the wet weather that we regularly deal with.
