Which Boots Should I Choose?

With so many boot styles available, finding the right pair can feel overwhelming. While colour and style often come down to personal taste, some designs and materials suit certain wardrobes, lifestyles, and body shapes better than others.

Think about how you usually dress. If jeans or trousers are your go-to, ankle or Chelsea boots are reliable and versatile. If dresses and skirts are your preference, heeled boots tend to be more flattering. Ankle boots pair well with midi and maxi lengths, while knee-high boots look great with shorter hemlines.

Heel style matters too. Block heels offer comfort for everyday wear, while slimmer heels add polish for evenings or special occasions. Petite frames often suit ankle or knee-high boots with a small heel to help elongate the legs, while mid-calf or slouchy boots may overwhelm smaller proportions. Taller figures can confidently wear boots of various heights, including over-the-knee styles, and heels can add just the right lift.

If you have wider feet, look for rounded or gently shaped toes that offer more comfort, and keep buckle or strap details minimal for a sleek fit. For wider calves, boots with elastic or stretch panels provide added comfort and try to avoid styles that sit at the widest part of the calf or have bulky details that draw attention.

As the weather cools, consider materials carefully. Suede adds lovely texture but needs protection to withstand wet conditions. Leather or water-resistant finishes are more practical for winter, and waterproofing sprays can help make your favourite boots last longer. Finally, don’t hesitate to experiment with colour. While black and brown remain classics, rich seasonal tones like burgundy, green, or navy can bring fresh energy to your look. If you’re feeling extra-brave, play around with prints, too, be it moody florals or animal prints like leopard.

Boots Maintenance & Care

• Here are some expert tips to help your boots survive the winter and stay ready to be a wardrobe staple again next year.

• The best way to clean your boots depends on the material. Use a soft brush or cloth for suede to gently remove dirt and avoid damaging the texture. For leather boots, a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner work well to wipe away grime and keep the leather supple.

• Clean your boots regularly, ideally after every few wears or when they start to look dirty. Don’t forget the soles, zips and hardware too, as dirt can build up in these areas and cause long-term damage if left untreated. This helps prevent stains from setting in and keeps your boots looking fresh throughout the season.

• Waterproofing treatments are essential, especially for suede or lighter-coloured boots that are more prone to stains. Applying a waterproof spray creates a protective barrier against water, mud, and salt, helping your boots survive wet winter conditions and last longer.

• Try to rotate your boots throughout the week rather than wearing the same pair daily. Giving them time to air out between wears helps prevent moisture build-up, keeps them feeling fresh, and reduces long-term wear and tear on the material and soles.

• Always allow your boots to dry naturally if they get wet, avoid direct heat like radiators, which can dry out and crack the material.

• Use boot trees or stuff your boots with newspaper when storing them to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keeping boots in a well-ventilated area helps avoid mould or musty smells, especially after a wet winter.

• Regularly condition leather boots with a suitable leather conditioner to keep the material soft and prevent it from drying out or cracking over time.
