With beauty salons, bars, restaurants, pubs and cafes set to expand their customer limits from June 1, our lives are slowly returning to normal.
While we can once again rejoice in the simple things – meeting up with friends at a restaurant, going to the pub or getting a manicure and our eyebrows done – we’re guessing your choice in foot wear has not been a priority these past few months.
But now that the weather is cooler, it’s the humble boot that will once again be our winter go-to. After all, they’re the functional, comfortable and stylish winter staple you can easily throw on without too much thought.
However, if you’re in a dire need of shoe refresh post-isolation, consider switching up your collection with these 21 options.
