Snow season is well and truly here and it’s time to either dust off your trusty favourite pair of boots or invest in some new ones.  But do you go for practical or pretty when picking your pair? What do your winter boots say about your style?
Cowboy and Western boots.  If cowboys are your pick we’d say you’re cool and confident.  After all, cowboy boots are always in vogue – they look great with jeans and skirts, and normally have a block heel which elongates the leg and shows off the calf to great effect.  You’ve got comfort and style sorted.
Hiking/snow boots: A lover of the great outdoors and not a person who lets a little bit of bad weather stand in her way, if your choice of winter footwear is sturdy walking boots or practical snow boots, you’re always ready for adventure!
Riding boots – quintessentially British and with a long and proud heritage, riding boots are for women who are sophisticated yet practical and like to look polished, whether they’re at the stables or shopping the high street.
Faux fur trimmed:  If you like your boots trimmed with faux fur, you might be exotic and indulgent, and love the feel of luxurious pile on your feet.  If you’re a faux fur girl, you like to finish off your outfits with pizazz.
Studded ankle – Fashion forward and tough, you’re a girl who likes to make a statement.  If you choose stiletto studded boots you’re no nonsense and not to be messed with, but also like the feminine look of heels.
Sheepskin (and faux sheepskin) boots:  There are two stories about the origin of sheepskin boots – if you subscribe to the first, that they were made by shearers in rural Australia to keep their feet warm whilst tending sheep in chilly weather, you’re no doubt hardworking and like your boots multi-functional and no-nonsense.  If you prefer the second story, that they were first worn by surfers in California, when you slip your feet into your sheepskin boots, maybe you’re dreaming of tropical sunshine to get you through the winter.
So, which one are you?
