Frye Vicky Artisan Back Zip ($200) 

This pair has my name written all over them. My feet are constantly cold while traveling. Over many flights, I’ve found that lightweight motorcycle-inspired boots are the way to go for warm toesies. 

Thanks to the leather, they’re warm when needed. Thanks to the short boot height, they’re easy to pull on and off, with good arch support and decent tread. Wear lighter or Merino wool socks with boots to prevent overheating.

They are pretty warm and comfortable enough to wear all day. I love the wedge heel, it gives me a little butt lift and looks professional for work but casual enough for a night out.”
