Cougar Vivian Boots: Winter Essential

With winter weather in full swing, a warm waterproof boot is essential — especially here in Winnipeg! Thanks to Cougar Vivian boots, we got you (and your toes) covered.

In the Canadian prairies, typically you have one of two winter footwear options. You can wear your typical snow boots which tend to be warm but NOT anywhere near cute or stylish — or you can opt for a sleek pair of leather booties that will freeze your toes and cause a (very embarrassing) slip or two on your commute.

With this in mind, Canadian brand Cougar Shoes has fused fashion with function to create winter footwear that can do BOTH. I was obsessed with Cougar Pippy Sandal in Summer 2019, and it’s safe to say they kill it at both summer and winter footwear.

When Cougar came out with their new FW19 collection chock full of amazing winter boot. I was immediately drawn to the limited edition: Vivian Suede Winter Boot. With rich statement shades concluding Wine (my personal fav) and Indigo, the Vivian also boasts neutral tones Draft or Mushroom if you’re looking to be more subtle than statement-making.

I love that current fashion is all about cold-weather cute, and Cougar does it well. With -24°C temperature rating, plush lining, anti-slip sole, this waterproof boot checks all the boxes when it comes to proper winter footwear. A non-negotiable in all my shoes is comfort. Not only are the Vivian boots uber comfy, they are extremely lightweight! Cougar creates a light boot with triple outsole construction, resulting in the lightness of a sneaker with the durability of a rubber boot — once again, proving that Cougar is king at footwear.

Dress your Cougar Vivian boots up with a classic coat, or down with your comfy cozies like I did here — the versatility of these boots is unparalleled, no matter what your winter looks like.

So whether your holiday break looks like a winter wonderland ski lodge vacay, or hanging around home in the cooler temps, Cougar’s winter footwear line up has something for everyone — find your fit and let your feet feel the love this holiday season!
