Dr Martens will always be a go-to for quality, reliability and style.
It's always worth having a trusty pair of winter boots to keep you both warm and steady on your feet in the winter months. Whether you’re into the knee-high look or just looking for a little ankle boot to pair under jeans, brands like Dr Martens will always be a go-to for quality, reliability and style. Always check sites like Vinted or Depop for excellent deals – even pre-worn docs can last you a lifetime. And if someone else has already broken them in, it saves you the ankle blisters!
If you’re a comfort person over everything else, you’re probably wondering which kind of trainers to invest in – there are so many cute options these days, as well as those that will get you to and from where you need to go in practicality while still looking good. If you’re thinking of spending a bit more, the Salomon XT6 trainers have excellent grip and give off that trendy ‘dad in hiking gear’ vibe (if that’s your thing!). They also come in a number of colourways, so you can find a pair to suit your own colour palette easily. I would also always recommend New Balance trainers - they’re slightly cheaper on the scale, but still trustworthy, practical, and again, come in so many different styles that you’ll easily find something to suit you.
In icy conditions, these definitely aren’t your most practical choice.
Of course, I couldn’t not acknowledge one of the biggest fashion resurgences of last year – UGG boots. In icy conditions, these definitely aren’t your most practical choice. However, if it’s a dry, bright winter day, there’s nothing wrong with chucking them on to head to the library for a study session. Or just keep them as your cosiest slippers to wear around the house! You can find great dupes on ASOS or in Primark that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. So, stay cosy and in comfort this winter!
