Pricey, but super comfy and crazy quality.

Oak Street! American made in Chicago and they're just about the illest things you can throw on your feet. Danner also makes a really dope boot and they're made in the PNW!

Lots of people. If you take care of them, there is nothing wrong with spending $300 on a pair of durable leather boots that won't go out of style and will last you a good while.

You wear your ski boots more often than your regular winter shoes/boots? Must be nice.

How about you give a price range first before people offer up suggestions and then you bitch about the cost, hmm?

even if they were just waterproof skate shoes, wouldn't that be a stylish shoe that you can wear in place of some ugly ass boots. A.K.A what the OP was looking for...

alright, his price range is less than 300. now how about you stop bitching about how he doesnt feel like spending that much on boots and post something worthwhile.

ive got wolverine boots that are similar to these. gore tex, steal toe, winter work boots which feel nice but are pretty heavy. they retail around $130 i think but i picked them up an outlet for $75.

duck boots are nice and lots of companies make them (check out sorel and LL bean for some nice ones in a decent price range), but in my opinion they are a little bit weird looking.

also check out vintage vasque boots. i think these are some of the nicest looking boots you can buy, plus they are super warm, dry, and light. i just looked it up online and you can grab a pair for about $70. not too bad for a timeless look.

i would recommend going to a cabelas or other outdoors store and trying a few different pair to see what feels nice and what styles you like to look down at before you buy.

I'm sure he wears underwear more often than winter boots, does that mean he should spend $300 on underwear? Your logic is invalid. Obviously, the quality of his ski boots is more important than his snow boots. I'm sure if he had the money and needed high quality boots he would get some.
