Where to buy good quality snow/rain non-slip boots?

Hey guys, currently suffering from a pretty bad concussion, assuming the recovery will take years. I'm looking to buy some high quality non-slip on winter or rain boots, i'm not sure where to look, or which would be the best quality. I would really appreciate the help.

I would say my maximum budget would be $250. I want really reliable boots. Maybe even the ones that would help on ice, but definitely something that would prevent slips on rainy weather. Have lots of medical appointments I have to get to by foot.

I could go higher on my budget, if there are better options, less than $500 though, hopefully. Concerned about my health mostly than money.

Based on the survey/testing down, it appears the recommended boots have the vibram artic grip outsole. So,
I bought a pair of hush puppies with the vibram arctic ice grip outsole early this yr when they were clearing from winter inventories at about around 30% off regular.

I will have a chance to use them this resin

For wet and slippery conditions, I thought felt-soled shoes were optimal but not practical for city living. OP, have you considered buying one those hats with built in protection for falls? A lot of curlers use them now.

Here's a review of wading boots that might be of interest. If they can provide traction on slippery, moss covered rocks underwater, I would have to think they would be the best possible thing. Again, practicality for city life is in question but if it's strictly for A to B type use, why not give it shot?

I actually bought one of those hats on amazon, but it doesn't fit me and looks horrible. doesn't seem like we have many options for hats

You should be looking for work boots. I would do a reddit search for non-slip work boots and go from there. For ice, I would get those ‘ice-grips’ - the little rubber things you pull over your shoes that have metal studs on the bottom.

Boots targeted at your ‘average consumer’ are not what you are looking for as they will always prioritize style/looks over functionality.

Consider LL bean duck boots, if you are ok with the appearance. It does not do great on ice though.

Look at some of the Doc Martens, they have pretty good soles grip wise and you can get the heavier soles in shoes or boots.
