It’s that time of year again, when even the most manicured toes need to be covered up. Whether flat boots, heels or flashy military numbers, there’s a pair that’ll keep you warm and stylish this winter. Since it’s away with the strappy sandals and in with warmth – here are some of our favourite boot-buys this season…

Flat boots for superior comfort
An essential item for any shoe-lover when it gets cold, a pair of flat boots are undeniably the most comfortable to have on hand when it’s dark, rainy and grey.

• One of the biggest fashion trends this season is pairing an oversized sweater with a pair of leggings. The Balinda boots, flat knee-high’s with a lace detail and a side zip, will pair perfectly with this kind of look. Neutral colours will look fab when matched with a boho-bag and some chunky bold jewellery.
• Feeling daring? Then complete the oh-so hot military look with a pair of flat boots that go over the knee, like the Krissy boots, which have a double zip detail and loads of edgy appeal. They’ll look sublime with a retro shirt, sexy leggings and a double-breasted military style trench coat.

Heeled boots for extra appeal
They’ll lengthen you leg, add an alluring hip sway to your walk and look scrumptious with anything you throw on, which means a pair of heeled boots are vital to keeping winter blues at bay.

• If you’re wearing skinny jeans this season, and you should be, then a pair of heeled ankle boots is just what you need. Tuck them into a pair of Abbey’s, which have a buckle and cross strap detail. Pair it with a vintage off the shoulder vest and finish it off with a bright, patterned scarf.
• Platform heeled boots that go over the knee are flashy and make a statement – just like Prada and Louis Vuitton did when they sent models down the runway in tall boots for winter. Take these Kamryn platform boots, for instance, which will look fabulous paired with a mini dress and a chic blazer.
  • Show off your wedge boots by wearing them with a short skirt and stockings. These black Elma ankle boots will add a dressy touch to a casual outfit, which can be made up with a white vest, a long black coat and some oversized sunglasses.
  • Wear knee-high wedges, like Blanche which has a lace up tassle detail, with a mini dress and a trench coat, or opt for a pair of tucked in jeans and an oversized sweater.
  • Whether you’re bold, understated, adventurous or simply cold, there is a pair of high, flashy, ankle or flat boots to suit your style at Zoom.

  Wedge boots to embrace fun and versatility
  Ranging from low to high, wedges are fun to experiment with and add height, just like stiletto’s do, but without the added wobbliness. They also work wonders at making a

  nkles appear thinner.

The modern male spends just as much time on his looks as women do, sometimes even more, and men’s shoes are right up there on the vital check-list of fashion forwardness. Whether an anti-fashion guy’s guy or an eyeliner-wearing runway model, shoes matter and that’s a fact. Here are some top tips when buying shoes for men…

1. Women do care
We look at the shoes men wear – fact. Just like a car, a particular watch or a fragrance, they make a statement whether he intends them to or not. They are most noticeable, however, when matched with the complete wrong outfit, like slops with a suit.

2. Spend the money
Since men don’t buy shoes nearly as often as women, when they do it’s a good idea to get the best quality possible. Instead of buying a pair of men’s boots that will fall apart in a few months, spend as much as possible and go for quality and style. Great quality shoes look cool and edgy when they get old and worn, whereas tatty shoes look bad from day one, and don’t get any better.

3. Socks, belts – match them!
The general idea is that the colour of the socks needs to be the same as the pants – they needn’t be the same shade unless they’re black – and belts should match shoe colour. When it comes to patterned socks, there’s an aesthetic guideline that needs to be stuck too – and the best thing to remember is that less is always more.

4. Remember colour
Unless it’s a retro or statement thing, dress shoes should always match clothes or be a shade darker than them – this is especially important when buying shoes to go with a suit.

5. Get them shined
Dress shoes are usually shiny and if they get scuffed, they’ll need to be shined, especially before wearing them on a special occasion. When it comes to men’s boots, this rule doesn’t necessarily apply.

6. Beware the toe
When it comes to square toed or points, it’s always a good idea to think ahead to what will be worn with them. If in doubt, go for a shoe that has a slight tapered point, as they tend to be more stylish and look good with almost anything, from suits to jeans.

7. Variety is good
A lot of men tend to buy one good pair of sneakers and then wear them with everything. Variety is always good and every wardrobe should have a selection of sneakers, smart shoes, dress shoes and the ever-important pair of boots. Things like two-tone shoes an look really retro and classic if worn with the right outfit, while a rugged pair of slip on men’s shoes work well with a casual look.

A change of season is always a good excuse to buy shoes and revamp your closet, not that you need an excuse. If you’re looking for one though, Zoom’s new winter range is an exceptional reason. Here are six styles you shouldn’t be without when the world gets iced.

Heeled boots

Even women who usually stick to flats tend to venture into the heeled boots category when winter comes rolling in. They keep you warm but who cares about that – they also look sexy as hell with loads of different outfits. Wear them with a three quarter dress, a pair of shorts and tights or over some super tight skinny jeans. With a wide variety to choose from – ankle boots with either a lace up or zip detail, peep toe boots with a killer heel or knee high and over the knee platforms – you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Wedge boots

Wedge boots make us wish our mothers had kept their shoe collection from back in the day – they’ddefinitely be in vogue right now. If sky high heels aren’t your thing then wedge boots are the perfect addition to your wardrobe. Cuban heels, block heels and wedges look great on women of any age and are an ideal alternative to stilettos while still packing a sexy punch. Get them in a variety of different textures and materials – there’s no reason why a girl can’t have more than one pair of these in her cupboard, they simply look good with everything.

Flat boots

Classic all-rounders, flat boots can dress up an outfit and yet also add an understated touch of style when dressing down for a more casual event. Warm and with the added oh-so-important bonus (most of the time anyway) of being comfortable beyond words, they’re probably the most essential buy for anyone with feet this winter. The details, of course, are up to you – pointed toes, over the knees, belts, buckles, studs … whatever!

weather but this season they come in a wide range of fashionable styles.
