When tackling the toughest challenges in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, it pays to have the right gear. Whether it’s simply to optimize your exploration of the continent’s snowy areas, or to dodge the attacks of a Hydra or a Lynel in time, having the Snow Boots on your feet is a great idea, as they’ll speed up your travel in deep snow.
How to get the snow boots?
You’ll have to brave the heat before you can run freely in the snow. Indeed, these boots are found in the same place as the heat-resistant outfit and the sand boots. They are sold in Gerudo City, in a secret shop that is difficult to access, to be exact. We’ll explain how to reach it in this guide, so have enough Rupees to buy it. In the meantime, use heat-resistant food, walk in the shade, or explore at night.
How to reach the secret Gerudo club?
This not-so-secret shop is located in the Gerudo capital. You first have to reach the city, which requires crossing the sand fog and braving the hordes of strange monsters. The easiest way is to use one of the rising wind columns at the entrance to the area, then use the Parasail to get closer to the city. Using a Scouting Tower also works, if you have enough Stamina.
Once in town, your troubles are not over, as the streets are deserted. The club’s entrance is at coordinates -3782, -2938, 0043, but the store’s residents have barricaded themselves inside, and since Link can’t speak, you’ll have to find another entrance. Note the club’s position on the map, as it will be useful later.
Go to the main square of Gerudo City. Jump into the rectangular well-like thing to the left of the area, at coordinates -3824, -2949, 0043, which will drop you into an underground river.
Head down the river, then take the first passage on the right, then right again. Go to the end of the narrow gallery. As you probably guessed, the objective is to position yourself right under the private club, then enter using Infiltration.
Check the map to make sure you are below the shop. Turning left in the last gallery will take you to the right place. If in doubt, use Infiltration. If you do not appear inside the shop, cancel the skill and start again after adjusting your position.
Once in the shop, the saleswoman will be surprised, but she will let you shop freely. There is not only the rest of the Sablons outfit to buy. You will also be able to clear the door, so as not to have to go through the underground each time.

How to upgrade boots to max level?
As in Zelda Breath of the Wild, you will need to have access to the 4 great fairies if you want to upgrade your equipment to the maximum. To do this, you will need to complete a series of essential side quests which starts at the forest relayafter which they will offer you their services in exchange for components. This is why you should always be careful to save some precious resources.
There are no armor pieces that come as a set with the boots. So you can pair them with whatever you want. The most logical thing to do is to use the Cold Weather Outfit.
