Winter’s Trendiest Boots Are Hiding in the Sale Section—23 Under-$200 Pairs to Prove It
The season's must-buy styles don't have to be an investment.
Boots will forever be the backbone of my winter footwear rotation. What other style can withstand frigid temperatures and pair seamlessly with everything in my winter wardrobe? Every type of boot holds a special place in my collection, too, since there is truly a pair for every situation. With this in mind, I'm adding a few new, on-sale boots to freshen up my collection this season. Luckily, winter 2025's shoe trends have a fresh slate of styles to inspire my wishlist.
For starters, I'm on the hunt for a soft, slouchy boot inspired by Chloé's Fall 2024 collection to tap into my bohemian side. An animal-printed pair is also on my to-buy list after the leopard print trend kicked off last year. Several A-listers (hello, J.Lo!) have also made a strong case for buying a pair of Ugg boots in 2025. My shopping list goes on and on, but my favorite retailers have every trendy winter boot style I'm looking for at a discount. Even better, my finds ring in at $200 or under.
If that price tag sounds too good to be true, keep scrolling for proof. Ahead, you'll find 23 pairs of on-sale boots I have my eye on. You'll find picks from my go-to brands, like Vince Camuto, Schutz, Sam Edelman, Dolce Vita, and more.

Cherry red is a key color trend for winter 2025 and a low-lift way to incorporate it into your look is through your footwear. The wider shaft on these boots makes them the perfect pairing for your of-the-moment skinny jeans.
