Set the trend and make wearing timbs as workwear happen
Chicago resident here. 90% of people that walk to work in winter bring a pair of dress shoes to change into in the office. Wear your timbs through the snow still, nobody will bat an eye.
Redwings
Yeah real question, how does walking to work happen in the Midwest winter?
Lol, I wouldn’t rely on clear streets- Chicago is much worse than my college town was on clearing streets. Just bring a pair of dress shoes in your backpack or leave them at the office and wear your boots.
If i can finesse yeezys, you can finesse timbs. I believe in you.
Blundstones are perfect for what you’re looking for
UGG actually makes some stylish and functional snow boots. Got a pair for college in the North and have been happy
I wear these to work all the time and love them
Try doc martens
Thursday Boot Company is my go to for boots in general, great stuff.
Second this, they’re great quality at a really reasonable price point ($200 for real leather)
Oakstreet Bootmakers - local Chicago company that makes spectacular dressier boots. Recommend the lake street. On the expensive side (~$500) but worth is as they’re great for the winter

When I used to work in KC, everyone would switch shoes when they got in the office. I stayed at a hotel that was really close to the office (across the street) and I would just walk REALLY carefully for the 2.5 min walk (that would normally be 45 seconds). I had coworkers that fell lol we’re from Atlanta so def out of our element
You will want something waterproof and non slip, doesn’t need to be too warm in my experience unless you plan to be outside for more than an hour. Timbs are too clunky and uncomfortable for just walking in and aren’t too waterproof often.
Sorel is a pretty awesome brand for this.
