While mostly this time of year with its cold dampness is fairly depressing, I am always quite pleased to put my feet away in boots again.
Perhaps it’s just me, but they sort out the whole bottom of trouser dilemma and keep my feet warm.
Bottom of trouser dilemma, for those who are more instinctively stylish, is that uncertain zone from mid calf to floor. Do you wear shoes, tights, sandals, socks, reveal ankle or trail hem on the ground? I don’t know why, but I often get it wrong.
So it’s boot season again and boot season means a new crop of styles to ponder.
Hotter sent me a pair of wide fitting Jade boots – rather confusingly in a colour called Peacock – to try out.
They were a definite – oooh from the minute I opened the box. Happy feet.
There is a zip at the ankle allowing wider feet to get past the sticking point easily.
The sole is flexible and the one-inch (ish) heel avoids that totally flat shoe waddle.
I’ve had mine for a week or so and worn them for several long days – including a bike ride – and they are very very comfy. The zip fitting means feet don’t slip about in them like wellies.
These boots are bright and comfy, yet stylish enough to lift your everyday school-run look.
Get them from Hotter online or a Hotter shop.
