Trippen Out


Let’s be blunt.

You have height issues. When the weather outside is frightful, you’re at a loss for shoes. True. What you lack in stature you more than make up for in style. But not even you should attempt wedge or stiletto heels in the rain or snow. (Walking through slush should never be life threatening.)

Still. Boots with flat heels are usually so … Paddington Bear.

Hurray for Trippen boots! Sturdy and practical enough for the worst weather, they’re so fashionable you’ll reach for them every day. Posher than Wellies, Trippen boots are made with extra-soft leather and fit well around the leg. Which makes them comfy to boot. (Sorry. We couldn’t resist.)

Don’t worry about the lack of heels. You’ll be walking tall the old-fashioned way: with confidence. Cuz you look so damn great.
