susannah has decided I need to buy winter boots. Women's winter boots are cheaper and dressier looking, but hiking boots can probably be used for all sorts of things besides walking around campus in slush and would probably be more comfortable.

Buy women's winter boots

Most hiking boots (unless designed for winter hiking) will make you unhappy if there are more than a few inches of snow on the ground, since they tend to be breathable. Get winter boots for winter, and then get new hiking boots for hiking when you can.
My choice: Buy water-proof or water-resistant hiking boots

women's winter boots frequently fail to keep out the slush anyway.

You'll be glad you have them.

I finally bought the women's snazzy boots 3 years after the hiking boots, and I've never regretted it for a second.
