Winter boots

The festive season is here, bringing with it magical moments filled with family traditions, seasonal joy, and plenty of outdoor adventures. One of the best ways to embrace the holidays is by heading out for a Christmas Day walk—whether you're exploring frosty fields, strolling through town, or taking in the stunning views of the winter landscape. To ensure your feet are ready for any adventure, complete your Christmas look with a cosy pair of barefoot shoes or boots from Happy Little Soles. And when the walk is over, slip into your Christmas pyjamas and enjoy the warmth of our slipper socks and slippers for the perfect holiday season evening.

As the cold creeps up on us and we're heading into December, we’re thrilled to announce our Brand of the Month: Shapen. This Slovakian brand has won our hearts—and the hearts of barefoot shoe lovers around the world—with its unique blend of style, comfort, and vibrant colours.

We have invited long term customer and passionate barefoot advocate Anna Fox to review Some boots for us. We are delighted to copy her review here in this blog post.

"First impressions

These boots although not an unusual looking style are quite a new direction for Xero. On first impressions they look like a cross between a conventional

Doc Marten boot and Vivo Gobi. These look much more hard-wearing than the Gobi, without compromising ground feel. They also look nicer than the Be Lenka equivalent. Perfect for teenage girls who want a boot that looks cool and more conventional."

Wellington Boots are one of life's essentials! The search for a barefoot or barefoot friendly pair of adult wellington boots is one of our ongoing challenges at Happy Little Soles. We have been delighted with the Gracie ankle wellies from Xero but for many people, myself included, a pair of taller wellingtons is preferred and essential for muddy walks and winter beach trips alike!

Following the success of their Vegan Go and Empire Boots, Peerko recently brought out a great range of vegan shoes, and have expanded their range of vegan boots. We think they're a fantastic option for those of us that want to make a choice to wear an alternative to leather. Whether it be for reasons related to a vegan diet or just for practicality, we wanted to find out more about these amazing new vegan leathers and to understand the differences and benefits of each option, so we had a chat with Iva, from Peerko. We thought it worth sharing what we found.
