With fresh snow on the ground across the UK and near-freezing temps remaining the trend stateside, hiking boots have become a savior to anybody caught out in those wintry conditions. We peeped at what people have been tweeting about in the last 24 hours and weren’t surprised to see hiking boots in action across the world keeping feet dry and toasty.

@karinab: is loving her new hiking boots. I am now lord of the snow.

@sauj: I’m starting to notice that many Londoners don hiking boots to cope with the snow. The day promises some design work & a sushi-train lunch.

@lauralilala: At my most beautiful: black skirt, tights… and hiking boots.

@everb: Today my interpretation of a “lady who lunches”. I’ll be lovely in insulated hiking boots and fleece.

@essjaybee: Back from school run.Fell over on the way back,not the fault of ice but my hiking boots got hooked together and I met the pavement. Ok tho!

@DaGitTamer: Wearing hiking boots instead of high heels, when going out, is a lot more comfortable!!!

@danmerc: wonders if it’s acceptable to wear hiking boots to college tomorrow? not cool, not fashionable, but certainly practical! #uksnow

@trailgirl: West TX adventure tip: hiking is more comfortable in boots that breathe a little. All leather is hot in desert! Get some w/ventilation.

@MissRachelCoyle: @FostersUK WOO thank you! I had to walk 2 miles to work in Hiking boots today, would have been much more fun in flipflops!

@GunstarVixen: bored of snow. I want to wear my new dresses, but they don’t go with hiking boots

@logicstorm: Think I should trade in my hiking boots for a pair of ice skates, those pavements are lethal!

@jdpjamesp: @ianmcnaught I prefer hiking boots and walking poles. But that’s because they don’t do size 11 stilettos!

@brewbie: sir, I don’t believe those calf-high laceup hiking boots indicate you’ve grasped the concept of the expert traveller line thru security

@NomadKeith: @sulineats Thermals don’t keep your feet warm! I’ve been wearing hiking boots and ski socks for the last week!

@andyblowers: I thought my slippers were keeping me feet toasty and warm. Just looked down and i still have me hiking boots on from earlier!

@webyogi: Schools open on way to work with hiking boots and silly wooly hat- chic

@scribbett: Walking to work in suit and hiking boots just isn’t cool, but what else can one do?

@ricklondon: @crabbywabby The wedding is sometimes in spring on a mountaintop; all guests must byohb (bring your own hiking boots) really) LOL @LeeHiller

@mrdestructicity: Today’s odd mall sighting: toddler-sized hiking boots. That just seems cruel.

@Salta: hiking boots for new thing #10. now i just need to start hiking. yeah right.

@kaitkaboom: Going on a hike…what does one wear on a hike?….I sure aint gonna find hiking boots in my closet. Hah!
