Temperatures are dropping, the ground is slippery, but style remains intact. For rainy and cold days, WhenToCop? has selected the best pairs to wear during tough weather. Between Timberland boots and lugged-sole sneakers from Salomon or Hoka, there will be something for everyone this winter 2024!
Salomon models: French-made comfort and durability!
Since 2020, the Annecy-based brand has been surprising us with its rugged and comfortable models that have seen a resurgence in popularity thanks to the Gorpcore trend. A fashion movement that repurposes outdoor pieces, often used for hiking, to wear as lifestyle. At Salomon, the XT-6 has been the spearhead of the brand's revival thanks to its waterproof upper that withstands harsh weather and its durable sole.

BuyTimberland and its iconic boots
Founded in 1973, the American brand that celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, treated us to beautiful collaborations to mark the occasion. Between A-COLD-WALL, CLOT, Kith, Stussy, and Supreme, Timberland fans were spoiled! But 2024 looks even more loaded with the Louis Vuitton x Timberland collaboration designed by Pharrell Williams that was unveiled during Paris Fashion Week 2024-2025.
But you don't need a major collaboration to stay stylish. For smaller budgets, we recommend sticking with the classic Timberland 6-inch Boot Wheat which has seen a surge in popularity on social media, notably thanks to several celebrities like Lil Yachty who wear them daily. With its premium waterproof suede upper and lugged sole, it's a must-have this season!

We know that typically, Nike products don't hold up well in rain and bad weather. But those days are over thanks to various models featuring Gore-Tex technology! This technology offers a waterproof upper that repels liquids, stains, and other residue. Initially reserved for Nike ACG models, Gore-Tex has conquered more traditional models like the Nike Air Max 90 or even the Air Jordan 1 High, which have truly become rain-ready sneakers! Special mention to the latest collaboration between Sacai and Nike on the Magmascape, which is a perfect combination of style and functionality.

BuyHoka and its futuristic silhouettes
Founded by two former Salomon employees, Hoka offers a multitude of waterproof and rugged models. Thanks to its running expertise, Hoka shoes provide a unique comfort sensation. With their unbeatable cushioning, they are the perfect choice for long, tough days in the urban jungle.
New Balance, between running and outdoor
Known for the comfort of its running models, New Balance also offers a selection of products focused on trail and mountain sports. If you're looking for a classic pair, go for the Rainier. Its boot silhouette and Vibram technology make it an interesting alternative to Timberland. Want a low and versatile silhouette? The 610 is made for you! Its upper combining suede and ripstop mesh makes it the perfect pair for the season. Prefer more traditional models? New Balance has you covered by adapting its flagship silhouettes into Gore-Tex versions like the iconic 2002R.
