Whether you have to dig through the back of your closet to find them or have them on constant rotation, your favorite skinny jeans are about to become your favorite essential. With bulky outerwear such as puffers and faux-fur coats trending, skinny jeans make the perfect addition to your wardrobe. We could wax poetic about the slim-fitting denim, but we have a feeling you already know and love it.

Which brings us to our next topic: shoes. We fully believe that the key to making your skinny jeans reach their full potential is the footwear you wear with them. And since we're well into winter, you need shoes that are not only stylish but practical and warm enough to get you through even the coldest, wettest days. Ankle boots can be tricky with slim jeans (to tuck or not to tuck?), so we ventured out to find 10 pairs of cozy, winter-appropriate boots (including ankle styles), sneakers, and heels to wear with your favorite skinny jeans.

Keep scrolling to shop the shoes that will make your skinny jeans look incredibly stylish this winter, along with specific pairs of jeans to wear with them, if you're so inclined.

1. Shearling Boots

Rain, snow, or shine, these shearling boots are the ideal winter shoes. While there are endless pairing possibilities for these everyday boots, opt for medium- to light-wash super-skinny jeans that will fit perfectly into the top of the boots.

Dr. Martens are never a bad choice. 

Staud certainly knows how to design a covetable accessory. 

2. Slouchy Boots

Swap your black boots for beautiful chestnut leather pair, and team them with dark-wash skinny jeans to master the look.

These would look great with jeans, a rock tee, and a leather jacket. 

The kind of boots that will never go out of style. 

3. Sherpa-Lined Shoes

Wearing sherpa-lined shoes with skinny jeans is the ultimate easy weekend outfit that keeps your feet cozy and warm. 

Your Birkenstock collection is not complete without these lined versions.

Pair classic combat boots like Dr. Martens with simple, sleek black jeans and a puffer coat for the perfect winter outfit.

Switch out your summer sandals with velvet shoes this winter. Pair with frayed skinny jeans for a chic look that's perfect for the holiday season.
