Winter Footwear Guide: Staying Warm and Dry
Winter in Lebanon can mean anything from rainy days in the city to snow in the mountains. The right footwear keeps your feet warm, dry, and safe on slippery ground. Here's what to look for this season.
What makes a good winter shoe
Water resistance
Wet feet are cold feet. Look for water-resistant or water-repellent materials that keep puddles and rain out. Leather and treated synthetics handle moisture far better than mesh, which is built for breathability rather than protection.
Warmth
A little insulation or a cozy lining makes a big difference on cold mornings. If you're heading somewhere genuinely cold, prioritize a shoe or boot that traps heat rather than a thin, ventilated design.
Grip
Slippery, wet surfaces are the biggest winter hazard. A deep, rubbery tread pattern gives you traction on tile, pavement, and mud alike — look for a sole with pronounced grooves.
Match your shoe to your day
- City and commuting — a water-resistant sneaker or casual boot with good grip covers most rainy days.
- Outdoor and mountain trips — go for a sturdier, insulated boot with an aggressive tread.
- Gym and indoor training — keep a separate lightweight pair so your winter shoes stay dry for outdoor use.

Sizing for winter
If you plan to wear thicker socks, it's worth allowing a touch more room so circulation isn't restricted — warm feet need a little air around them. Just avoid going so big that your heel slips. Not sure? Our shoe size & fit guide can help.
Keeping winter shoes in good shape
- Let wet shoes dry naturally, away from direct heat, to protect the materials.
- Wipe off mud and salt promptly so they don't stain or dry out the surface.
- A water-repellent spray adds an extra layer of protection on leather and canvas.
