I have a pair of these bad ass arctic things (rated to -51°C!!) that I bought cheap in Bicester for my first season:
I acutally just use skate shoes everywhere though. You don't need anything special - anything that you'd wear on a rainy day in the UK is fine. |
I have this type of boots, they are good in snow.

@Shimmy Alcott, haha you're not wrong! They also feel like they're lined with a kitten!
Can count the number of times I've used them since 2008 on both hands though

I assumed you were a woman even though "chunky going out boots" could be quite masculine. I wear my work shoes on account of them having nice soft, thick soles. Steel toecaps get a bit chilli though.

Steel toecaps are chilli? you going barefoot in those??

That happens me too, more often than I would like to confess to. 
Still you can live as some say without boots in a resort, but if it snows and the paths aren't cleared , you need something with waterproof coating, and warm, damp or downright wet feet are no fun. High heels in a resort are asking for trouble, so grips, and waterproof are needed,. I suppose iits like asking do I need ski glasses or will my sunglasses do? you can manage with sunglasses, but you really need something more suitable for the conditions. Lots of folks said you don't need them, but if the weather is on the snowy side , you will be far happier to have a pair of waterproof ,grippy , warm, footwear. They don't need to be official snow boots, anything that is warm, grippy, and waterproof will do. Even plain mucker boots or wolfie boots will be fine.

If you do decide to buy new boots concider getting ones with a zip rather than two meters of boot lace. Laces can become very frustrating in a crowded boot room. Chunky going out boots sound about right though.

Snowboots lovely but walking shoes/boots perfectly adequate in almost all circumstances and if you already have them you dont need to spend any more money.
