Part sock boot, part Chelesa boot, the boots of the moment are low heeled and square toed – and we’re a little infatuated. Not as high maintenance as a towering heel but still warm enough for winter, the style is the perfect January footwear choice. The trend, like most in fashion right now, started with Stockholm label Totême which heroes a square toe across a lot of its boots (shop the brand’s Instagram-famous leather ankle boots below). On a budget? The high street offers some alternatives. See: Whistles, Massimo Dutti and & Other Stories as a case in point. Indeed, at €159, the square toe leather boots in stock right now in & Other Stories are a favourable price point. Pair with straight-legged jeans, a striped knit and a crisp camel or navy coat.
