If you are the type that has a small rotation of shoes you wear until the lining is coming undone and the sole is worn through, you're in good company. For me, picking up a new pair of shoes, especially boots, means a lot of research, comparison, and general anxiety around the whole purchase.
Making that process a whole easier is Toronto-based women's footwear company Alice + Whittles, and the recently released Weekend Boot, a versatile, everyday hiker that perfectly blends rugged durability and city-approved aesthetics. Best of all, it's made of sustainable materials, is virgin plastic-free, and certified vegan.
After taking a pair of my own for a test drive among a recent bout of non-stop cold, rainy weather in New York, I can confirm she's all she's cracked up to be.
