It's safe to say we have a love-hate relationship with winter boots. On the one hand, they're the only barrier between our toes and the harsh winter weather, but on the other hand, winter boots are typically function > style, if you know what we mean.

And while below-ankle blood circulation trumps stylish but poorly-insulated boots on any -20C day, ideally, we'd like to meet somewhere in the “warm but fashionable” middle.

To accomplish this task, we turned to Amazon Canada's top-rated winter boots and found the ten most stylish amongst them. For cute winter boots that will actually keep you warm, check out our Amazon edit.

Dr. Martens Leonore Burnished Wyoming Leather Boot

For warm winter boots that don't look like warm winter boots, may we suggest Dr. Martens Leonore Burnished Wyoming boot. The sleek leather style is lined with warm faux fur and preserves the essential Dr. Martens look of yellow stitching and grooved sides. "Waterproof, warm & stylish," said one shopper. "Also, I found that unlike other Dr. Marten Boots, you don't need to wear them in. Blister-Free on first wear!"
