The trends this year in height-increasing winter boots run the gamut from ruggedness to sophistication. Shoe makers are going beyond the looks, incorporating performance-based features that are compatible with the urban or the outdoor environment. Key 2025 style directions are:

Neutral, earthy colour palettes like chocolate brown, olive, and slate
