A waterproof pair of Chelsea boots is the perfect addition to any winter closet, and these kicks from Vessi resemble a comfy pair of sneakers with added protection for your feet.

4. Sperry Cutwater Deck Boot ($94.95)
Whether you're going hiking, boating, or trudging through the snow, these Sperry boots are made with perforated neoprene, which dries quickly when wet, and provides added ventilation. The rubber outsole on each shoe also has the label's signature razor-cut design and uses technology that is made for "ultimate wet/dry traction."
5. Everlane The Rain Boot ($85)
These ankle rainboots are so cute that you'll want to wear them even on a sunny day! As noted by the label, this pair's stretch side panels and pull tabs make it "easy to slide on and go," and they also "leave plenty of room for thick, comfy socks" if you want to brave a winter storm (and still look stylish all the while) in them.
6. Bogs Sweetpea Boots ($84.94)
This practical pair of waterproof boots from Bogs stand out as they feature DuraFresh® bio-technology that "activates to fight unwanted odors," as the brand notes, plus they're super sleek!

7. Vionic Karsen Boots ($74.99)
A chunky pair of leather boots can add instant oomph to any ensemble, and this pair from Vionic also has waterproof zippers. To keep you safe from mud and muck, these shoes also have seam-sealed technology which effectively keeps moisture out.

11. SOREL Joan of Artic Wedge ($200)

14. Sperry Saltwater Quilted Nylon ($66)
This quintessential rainboot offers you a water-resistant rubber shell, barrel-tied rawhide lacing and zipper that makes the fit as secure as can be.

We'll close our list with a pair of waterproof Chelsea boots that are as polished and professional-looking as they are comfortable.
