Why We Love This Deal
Think it’s too late to score deals on winter boots? Think again: Macy’s just went live with one of the best deals on a winter boot we’ve seen all season. It’s a durable duck boot, and it’s selling for only $40 until the end of Jan. 19—an almost unheard-of price for this kind of footwear.
The Weatherproof Vintage Jack Boots are 56% off their normal price of $90 in both black and brown. That’s a stellar deal for a pair of winter-ready boots—a quick scan over at Zappos shows similar options cost at least $100 (and usually much more). This sale price even beats bargain boots on Amazon from site staples like Nortiv8 and Bruno Marc. Ditto for the bestselling Ozark Trail duck boots at Walmart.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Colorways Available: 2, both on sale
- Sizes Available: 8-13 (whole sizes only)
- Upper: Polyurethane
- Lining: Polyester
- Sole: Rubber
- Protection: Water-resistant, lined, traded sole
- Best Use Case: Everyday wear in wet or snowy weather
The Jack Boot roughly follows the duck boot template, with a sturdy polyurethane overlay across the lower half of the upper to block splashes and snow and protect your feet from scrapes. Above that, the boot features a synthetic textile upper with a lace-up closure for a snug, adjustable fit. Padding around the ankle collar reduces irritation and pinch points as you walk, and on the bottom, the rubber sole is marked with siping and small lugs that bite into soft, snowy ground for reliable grip.
Beware: The “Weatherproof” in the name refers to the brand, not this boot’s water-resistance. The lower overlay will effectively block water, and shoppers say the boots do a good job of keeping feet dry, but the upper portion of the boot is not waterproof. That means they’re not a good choice for plowing through deep snow. But for short jaunts through wintry weather—like getting to and from your car—or walking on plowed sidewalks, they’ll perform well.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Multiple shoppers put the Jack Boots to the test in winter weather, and they said the boots performed well. One reviewer called them “perfect for the snow,” and another said they “kept my feet warm and dry” while shoveling snow for hours. Shoppers also appreciate their low-key looks, which makes them easy to pair with all kinds of outfits, and their “warm, comfortable fit.”
The time to wear winter boots is now, and that means on-sale kicks like the Weatherproof Vintage Jack Boots are likely to be a big hit through Jan. 19, when they’re slated to go back up in price. Click buy on your pair ASAP to get them for only $40.
