Men's Winter Boots

Warm, comfortable, and durable men's winter boots

With Icebug shoes on your feet, you don't have to worry about slipping or freezing. You will find both studded and non-studded shoes for winter running, hiking, and outdoor activities – as well as a wide range of everyday boots for the winter. Our shoes are designed and developed in Jonsered, Sweden, with the goal of minimizing their climate footprint while also ensuring long-lasting durability.

Do I need studded winter boots?

We sell winter boots for men, both with and without steel studs. There is no generic answer for which sole to choose. Which winter boot is right for you depends on where you'll be wearing them. A simple guideline is to start from what winter tires you put on your car. If you live in a place where it rarely gets slippery due to ice and snow, you can probably manage with non-studded winter tires. In this case, a pair of non-studded winter boots with a rubber sole is a good option. However, if you live further north or in a place where conditions are often slippery, then you should have winter boots with steel studs. A pair of studded winter boots has many advantages over a set of loose spikes. Studded boots have better grip, offer more comfort, and last much longer.

Which of Icebug's men's winter boots has the best grip?

If you live where it is rarely slippery, your needs will be well met by non-studded winter boots with rubber soles. At Icebug, we offer our own non-studded outsole technology, Nordic Traction, engineered for Nordic winters. Nordic Traction provides the best grip available from a pure rubber outsole, making it an excellent choice for winter walks, snowy paths, and everyday activities in areas where icy streets are rare. While it is not designed for sheer ice—where steel studs are the best option—it maintains traction in cold temperatures and on a variety of winter surfaces.

For our best grip ever, choose a shoe with our BUGrip outsole. Feel the powerful grip of carbide steel-tipped studs that provide an incredibly good grip on both ice and slick surfaces. The studs also spring into the sole when you walk on hard surfaces, giving you a high level of comfort when walking on asphalt. These studs are almost impossible to wear out!
