Forget the rubber soles of old. This winter, we’re casting aside our classic wellies for a pair of polished (but practical) boots that will see us confidently stomp through puddles without a care in the world. From Dior’s sleek iterations to Bottega Veneta’s supremely practical pairs, whether you opt for rubber or leather, the boots of the season are as much about making fashion statements as they are about keeping our feet warm and dry.
