ELOISE ANKLE BOOT

The suede is nicely water-resistant, which I tested during a rainy walk, and the lug sole gives great traction without feeling heavy. The shea lining makes them comfortable right out of the box, no break-in needed.

I was worried the lug sole might feel clunky, but the shea lining makes them incredibly comfortable right out of the box. The water-resistant suede has already held up well through a couple of rainy days.

The suede feels surprisingly sturdy yet soft, and the lug sole gave me solid traction on muddy sidewalks without looking clunky. I've worn them for three days straight and they're already molding to my feet perfectly.
