Perfect Winter Boots

In winter, I really want a good pair of comfortable boots which don't hurt my feet.  I want a pair that are warm, cosy,  sturdy enough to walk in, supportive and that fit perfectly.  In the past I have really struggled in this quest and have ended up with boots that are either painful, give no support or are not warm.  This year however I have found the perfect boots!

Keds Sunny Side Boots are extremely cosy faux fur lined boots with suede uppers.  They have a cushioned insole, a thick outer sole and have side zips making them easy to get on and off.  They look fabulous with velvet lace detailing.  Most of all though they are incredibly comfortable, even after walking around in them all day long.

Keds sent me a pair to try and at first when my package arrived, I was worried that they would not fit.  I have had trouble buying shoes online in the past because of my odd shaped feet!  However, they slipped on effortlessly and felt really good on.  

The detailing is lovely.  From the labels to the stitching to the decorative embellishments, everything is high quality.

The soles are robust and thick and I have found them great to walk around in indoors and out.

The toffee brown suede has contrasting black faux fur and look really stylish.

The zip-up ankle boot design works really well providing comfort and support.  They look great with jeans and are a fashionable and practical addition to your winter wardrobe.

I am so pleased to find a pair of good looking boots that fit me so easily and are so comfy and cosy.  I didn't realise that Keds make boots, associating them more with summer pumps.  But now I know, I will definitely check out their winter boot ranges next year.  I am that impressed!

The Sunny Side Boots are available in Toffee Brown and Gray.

They are currently on offer for just £48 on the Ked's website. (RRP £80) for sizes 3.5 to 8.5 with free UK shipping until 17/12/12.

Footwear for Summer from Keds

In 1916, Keds created a new concept in footwear; a shoe with a soft rubber sole.  The original sneaker was born and has remained a real style icon for almost 100 years.  From film stars, artists, sportsmen and first ladies, just about everyone has worn Keds.  They were even mentioned in pop song Teenage Dirtbag, where the girl "rocks in Keds and tube socks!"

Keds now offers a range of shoes in both new and authentic styles, holding onto the distinctive, trendy, narrow silhouette. The new Keds Spring 2012 collection is inspired by two on-trend themes: Lawn Party and Pool Side.

Lawn Party offers a mix of heritage and 2012 style.  Classic and smart with a tailored flair, and made from materials such as Hopsack and Jute, they are designed with plaids and stripes.  Pool Side offers new styles with bright, simple colour palettes or jutes and tropical prints.  The colour options include some vibrant new candy shades.  There some some gorgeously feminine ankle-wrap styles which simply personify sunny days.

I was sent an original Champion style sneaker in white to try.  This versatile shoe is an absolute classic, perfect for the Spring/Summer season.  Teamed with shorts, jeans or a dress, the simple yet stylish shoe is an absolute must have for the holiday season. They can be dressed up or down to compliment any outfit. The silent sole and lightweight feel give a real playful and feel good tone to the shoe...they make you feel young.

The beauty of the Keds Champion sneaker is in its simplicity.  Quality stitch work and moulded rubber give Keds their distinctive shape.  The attention to detail with the logo on the label and on the back of the shoe provide the designer edge.  

The Keds Champion comes with both matching and contrasting laces giving the option to bring your own style and flair.  I liked the black lace effect against the pure, crisp white shoe.  Very funky and in keeping with the trend for monochrome.

Champions are light and flexible but I did find them a little bit narrow (on my foot with the bunion!) so bear that in mind if you have wide feet and are ordering Keds online.  Other than that, they are super stylish, youthful and timeless.  

Be sure to check out the Spring Summer 2012 range from top footwear brand  Keds to keep your feet comfortable, on-trend and stylish this season.
