Like clockwork, the world continues to spin out in its cycles and here we are, finding ourselves drawing closer to the hours of hibernation. But before we officially trade flimsy summer sandals for something a little sturdier and more winter-appropriate, festival season has landed on Australian shores, providing the perfect occasion to bring out one of our favourite cold-weather shoes: knee high boots.
Whether you're wading through crowds at Laneway Festival, or marching Sydney's streets at Mardi Gras, knee high boots are proving a favourite amongst the style set for footwear that's both practical and on-trend. And — as Laneway headliner Charli XCX (and her legions of fans) demonstrated this week — while the shoe is no longer reserved for winter, purchasing a pair now will stand you in good stead as temperatures begin to drop.
When it comes to coveting the perfect boot, it can be either easy or tricky. It seems with boots - we are never short of opportunities. However, whether you go ankle, mid-calf, knee high or thigh high, like a perfect pair of jeans, one should allocate a good amount of time and care and the utmost consideration. With endless windows of opportunities from Nappa leather, metallic calfskin to the studded and embellished, like any other item that you hope will stay with you forever, it should remain timeless in its own expression.
So here at RUSSH, we share with you just a few of our favourites - some to seriously consider or to seriously aspire - our top 20 favourite knee-high boots to help you stride through this winter.
