18 Après-Ski Boots That Bring the Heat

For powder days and cozy nights

By

Après-ski boots are one of winter’s most essential staples—keeping you warm and stylish as you navigate the slopes, the lodge, and everything in between. Whether you’re grabbing an early-morning coffee before hitting the mountain, meeting friends for an après spritz, or strolling through a snow-blanketed village, the right pair of boots ties your entire look together. In fact, some are so stylish they might inspire you to build an outfit entirely around them rather than starting with your ski jacket, warmest wool coat, or go-to puffer.

Combining insulated linings, waterproof finishes, and slip-resistant tread soles—along with statement-making silhouettes—après-ski boots embody the perfect balance of form and function. For pre-ski moments, opt for a warm, lightweight pair that works seamlessly with your ski outfit of choice—there’s nothing quite like slipping into them post-ski once those stiff ski boots come off (IYKYK). When it’s time to après, swap to a bolder faux fur or shearling-lined pair to complement your alpine-inspired knits, coats, and faux-fur extras. Some styles can transition effortlessly to dinner, offering a cozy polish for mountain-town evenings.

Whether you’re after a playful take on retro silhouettes or ultra-luxe designer styles for extra fashion cred, explore our curation of the season’s best après-ski boots below.
