What does a winter boot need?
Four things: a sole with real tread, height at or above the ankle, a padded collar that closes the gap at the ankle, and room for a thick sock. All four boots here have a padded collar.
Tread matters most on a frozen pavement: widely spaced studs or deep lugs shed slush instead of packing with it. Height and a padded collar keep snow and cold air away from the ankle. None of the four is sold as waterproof or insulated, so they suit cold, dry and slushy city days rather than deep snow. For wet weeks, treat the leather with a weatherproofing spray and keep a thick wool sock in rotation.
What size winter boot should I buy?
Your usual US size. Three of the four run US 6 to 14 in half sizes, and each half size adds 0.5 cm, from 24 cm at US 6 to 32 cm at US 14.
Three of the four publish the same size chart. Whole sizes convert like this:
| US | EU | UK | Foot length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 41 | 6 | 25 cm |
| 8 | 42 | 7 | 26 cm |
| 9 | 43 | 8 | 27 cm |
| 10 | 44 | 9 | 28 cm |
| 11 | 45 | 10 | 29 cm |
| 12 | 46 | 11 | 30 cm |
| 13 | 47 | 12 | 31 cm |
Two half sizes share one EU size (US 8 and 8.5 are both EU 42), so order by US size or centimetres. Measure heel to toe in the evening and match the centimetre column; with thick socks, between two half sizes, take the larger. The 
Bramwell Winter Boots come in whole sizes only, US 6 to 15, with no chart. For more on fit, read do Adam & Westcott boots run big?
