Millet update the classically rugged, leather boot with clean lines, simple shapes, and feminine details.
PHOTO MILLET SPORTWhile we all love turning heads while abroad, sacrificing comfort for fashion while traveling is rarely a good idea. Whether you’re doing a 6-day hike through South America or a frolicking across the European countryside, you’re going to wish your boots were made for walking. Therein lies the paradox: the shoes you wear for the duration of your trip must be extremely durable and comfortable, but nobody wants to feel like a fourth grade biology teacher when your guide ends up looking like Bear Grylls sexy little brother. We need to still feel sexy, fashionable, and most importantly, like ourselves while we travel. For that reason, someone needed to make some irresistible hiking boots. Millet Sports stepped up to the task and succeeded, with their line of durable, comfortable, and…wait for it…stylish boots.
They update the classically rugged, leather boot with clean lines, simple shapes, and feminine details. I put together three looks using my favorite boots from their ladies collection, perfect for destinations across the globe. Toss a pair of these in your suitcase, and you can say goodbye to blisters and blasé footwear forever.
Look 1: 90’s Girl Next Door
Perfect for: South America
Pair the Brasher Hillmaster II with multiple layers of interesting patterns, colors, and shapes. Try thick socks you can scrunch above the boot with a short dress, comfortable cardigan, and your favorite scarf. Showing a little skin adds a feminine touch to the look, and dresses with boots are always in. The boots are designed for hills and valleys, so you know your feet will be happy whether you spend your time strolling through the local marketplace or hiking through the mountains.
Look 2: Rugged Trendsetter
Perfect for: London, England
The HI-TEC Sierra Somoni 200 WP Ladies Winter Boot emanates the laid back, Bohemian style we all know and love. Pair these bad boys with patterned skinny jeans, a loose fitting white tank top, and a fringed jacket. You’ll look put together and still feel comfortable and warm. Rock this look in the wintertime, shopping in Camden Town or while getting a cider at the local pub.
Look 3: Urban Tomboy
Perfect for: Moscow, Russia
It’s hard to go wrong with the HI-TEC Sierra Sina 200 WP Ladies Winter Boot. They have the sass of a bootie, and the wearability of a wedge sneaker. Wear them with cuffed skinny jeans, the more worn in the better, and a structured top to keep the outfit sleek. Try a blazer, or a fitted button down for a more casual look. Add some funky gold hoops and red lipstick and you’ll knock ‘em dead. I’ll take a shot of vodka, straight up please.
