As much as I love fall and winter, I don’t love the bulky outerwear that comes with it. Not only is it heavy, it’s expensive and with Canadian weather, there is no guarantee it will even be put to good use.

With coats and or jackets, layering is a great solution because you can add or remove items as needed, but shoes and boots can be a bit more difficult. There are now so many boot options that can work from fall into and even through winter.

These boots often have features that allow them to adapt to various weather conditions. Typically, they are waterproof, warm and the styles are less chunky. Regardless of the weather fluctuations, the boots can sustain it all. Check out these transitional boots to wear through the seasons.
