A Celebration of the Manhattan Boot

,

Because Who Knew Rubber Boots Could Feel This Good?

Okay, let me start by saying this: I’ve owned my fair share of boots. Leather ones, suede ones, over-the-knee drama queens and ankle boots that tried to convince me they were versatile. But nothing—nothing—could’ve prepared me for the Manhattan boots from Acquo of Sweden. I mean, who would’ve guessed that a pair of rubber boots could turn heads and feel like a cloud wrapped around your legs?

Let’s set the scene. It was a grey, drizzly morning. The kind that usually makes you rethink your outfit a million times before settling on “whatever doesn’t get soaked.” But not this time. I had just received my pair of ACQUO Manhattan boots—a glossy black dream that had been tempting me online for weeks. The moment I slipped them on, I knew. These weren’t just boots. They were a mood.

Manhattan The ultimate statement boot - thigh high black semi-gloss boot

First impression? Chic meets comfort.
These beauties are thigh-high (yes, you read that right—80 cm shaft!) with a sleek, semi-glossy finish that manages to look both playful and polished. And then there’s the heel. A 6 cm boost that doesn’t scream “fashion victim” but rather whispers, “I got this.” It’s high enough to give you that extra confidence in your stride, but low enough to walk in all day—yes, even on cobblestones.

I honestly can’t tell you how soft the rubber is. I know that sounds weird. Who compliments rubber, right? But ACQUO doesn’t use the stiff, plasticky stuff that cracks after one season. No. This is natural, soft rubber that molds to your leg like it was custom-made. It’s got this gentle flexibility, which means the boots move with you. And let’s not ignore the inside: a black cotton lining that makes them ridiculously cozy, even on chilly days.

I also love that they’re not just for rainy days. I wore them last weekend on a crisp, dry afternoon paired with a sweater dress and felt like the main character in a European romance film. Honestly, these boots do more than keep your feet dry. They elevate an outfit instantly. Whether it’s leggings, tights, or bare legs (yes, I’ve done all three), the Manhattan boot works. Every. Single. Time.

Let’s talk fit
I wear a size 39 and they’re true to size for me. But if you’re unsure, Acquo has a size guide that’s actually useful (you know how some guides make you more confused? Not this one). Plus, they throw in two pairs of insoles, which I thought was a lovely touch. One gives a snugger fit if you’re in between sizes, and the other adds a bit more cushion. They also come with a hanger to keep them standing tall when you’re not wearing them, which is such a small but thoughtful detail.

Oh, and for my tall girls—don’t worry. These boots are tall, yes, but not in a way that makes you feel boxed in. I’m 173 cm and they hit just the right height on my thigh. If you’re shorter, they’ll give off that dramatic, statement-making vibe. If you’re taller, they’ll look sleek and elongated. Basically, they’re flattering no matter what.

And the best part? They’re water resistant!
Like, truly water resistant—not “for light drizzle only.” I’ve splashed through puddles, walked through wet grass, and even stood in a bit of unexpected slush (thanks, random April snowstorm), and my feet stayed perfectly dry. Not a drop got in. The natural rubber sole does a great job of gripping slippery ground, and I didn’t feel like I was going to end up on a YouTube fail compilation once.

What I also appreciate is the timeless design. There’s nothing too trendy or “of the moment” here, which means these boots won’t feel outdated next season. The glossy black finish goes with literally everything, and the silhouette is clean and classic with just the right amount of edge.

Would I recommend the Manhattan boot?
In a heartbeat. Especially if you’ve ever wished for a boot that could brave the rain, turn sidewalks into catwalks, and feel like a hug for your legs. They’re definitely one of Acquo’s most popular models for a reason—and now I fully understand the hype.

I’m already eyeing up a second pair because let’s be honest: when something this practical also makes you feel fabulous, you don’t let it go.

So if you’re reading this and still wondering whether to take the plunge—do it. Trust me. Your feet (and your wardrobe) will thank you.

Rain, Rubber & a Smile: My New Love Affair

, ,

Let me start by saying this: I don’t usually fall for practical shoes. I’m a sucker for a heel, a dramatic look, and a slight inconvenience in the name of fashion. But this spring, I met someone — or rather something — that changed my mind.

Enter: ACQUO Broadway. A boot that looks like it belongs on a runway but feels like it was made for my favorite Sunday walks, spontaneous market strolls, and yes — even those cheeky summer showers that love to ruin a good outfit.

And because life sometimes throws you the perfect moment, I unboxed these beauties on World Laughter Day. As I laughed at the memory of last year’s muddy sandal mishap, I slid my feet into something surprisingly elegant, entirely unexpected, and completely weatherproof.

Fashion Meets Function (Finally!)

The Broadway boots are thigh-high, low-heeled and just the right amount of glossy. Not shiny-shiny, but subtle Paris-in-the-rain kind of shine. The 1.5 cm heel gives me a whisper of height without any of the wobble, and the natural rubber? Soft, flexible and super comfy.

I’ve worn them with floaty summer dresses, denim shorts, and even (don’t tell anyone) pajamas while putting out the trash in the rain. They never complain. They just shine quietly and do their job — keeping me dry, looking sharp and feeling put together even on soggy days.

A Boot That Gets It

I think what I love most is how these boots get me. I want something I can slip into quickly, wear all day, and still look like I care about how I look. These aren’t heavy or clunky — they’re sleek, they hug the leg just right, and they walk that perfect line between fashion-forward and go-anywhere practical.

Also, can we take a moment for how they go up to size 46? Thank you, ACQUO, for making boots for real feet, real legs, real people. Everyone deserves to splash in puddles in style.

World Laughter Day, or How to Find Joy in Rubber

So back to that day. I wore them out to meet my friend Clara, who was hosting a little World Laughter Day brunch in her garden. Halfway through the croissants, the sky decided to bless us with a shower. While everyone else rushed to bring in the cushions, I stepped out — proud in my Broadway boots — and kicked water playfully toward the roses.

We laughed. The kind of laugh that makes your stomach ache and your cheeks hurt. The kind of laugh that says life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. And maybe that’s what the Broadway boots really are — a little reminder that you can be stylish, comfortable, and ready for anything, all at once

So if you’re looking for a boot that’s simple, elegant, versatile, and genuinely fun to wear — the ACQUO Broadway might just be your new rainy day best friend.

Perfect for summer dresses, misty morning walks, and all the unexpected showers that life throws your way. And who knows — maybe even a little extra laughter too.

Rain or Shine, These Boots Are All Mine

,

Let me introduce you to your new rainy day (and honestly, any day) obsession: the ACQUO Savannah. These high-heeled, over-the-knee beauties are what happens when practicality meets runway-worthy style—crafted entirely in soft, natural rubber, with a dreamy semi-gloss finish that somehow manages to look chic and effortless even in a downpour.

savannah everyday collection rubber boots

First things first: let’s talk height. The Savannah boasts a 70 cm high shaft and a 6 cm block heel, striking the perfect balance between drama and comfort. You get that elevated, leg-lengthening look without sacrificing walkability—yes, even on slippery cobblestones or puddle-ridden sidewalks. The block heel is sturdy, stable, and surprisingly kind to your feet, making these boots wearable all day long.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Rubber? High heels? Over the knee? Really?” But trust me—these are not your average wellies.

The material is soft, flexible, and water-resistant (hello, dry toes!~), and the semi-glossy black finish gives the boots a sleek, polished look. They’re bold but never too much—fashion-forward without trying too hard.

Whether you’re heading out for errands on a grey day or styling a statement outfit for a night out, Savannah has range. Rain boots that actually go with your trench coat and your favorite little black dress? Yes, please.

And yes, I know that the use case, if you will, might sound nische. But honestly, I find that when it comes to practical clothing (shoes and boots in particular), people are too narrow minded. After all, don’t we happily pair track running boots, sneakers or even heavy boots such as Dr. Martens and others in all kinds of cute and confident looks? Why not wear a pair of (pretty hot) wellies or rain boots, when you think about it? I mean, they don’t LOOK like the old, ugly kind of rain boots that we used to wear as kids. At least that’s how I think about it. Maybe that’s just me?

They also come in sizes 37–46, which means a wide fit range, and if you’re unsure about sizing—ACQUO’s size guide is super helpful and easy to use. Oh, and here’s a tip: if you’re debating between heel heights, why not do what I did and get two pairs? One for power walks, one for power poses.

In short, ACQUO Savannah isn’t just a boot—it’s a whole mood. Comfortable, stylish, practical, and a little bit dramatic in the best way. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without them.

Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s, Galentine’s, or just self-love, I think we can all agree that treating yourself is always a good idea. And what did I treat myself to? The absolutely stunning ACQUO Oxford boots!

Let’s start with first impressions—these boots are gorgeous. The semi-glossy black rubber is sleek and effortlessly stylish. When I pulled them out of the box, they had that perfect new-boot smell (you know what I mean, right?) and felt buttery soft to the touch.

Slipping them on was an experience in itself. The black cotton lining makes them super comfy, and the natural rubber shaft molds beautifully to the legs without feeling stiff or restrictive. And the height? 60 cm of pure boot perfection! Over-the-knee but in a way that feels classy and refined rather than overwhelming.

Now, let’s talk comfort. With a 1.5 cm heel, these are made for walking. I took them out for a spin (yes, on a rainy day, because that’s the whole point, right?), and they held up beautifully. No pinching, no stiffness, just smooth, comfy strutting. And the best part? They’re totally water-resistant, so I got to splash through puddles while looking effortlessly chic.

And let’s talk styling! I paired them with a flowy dress for that romantic, feminine look, but I can already tell they’d be amazing with skinny jeans or a mini skirt. They have this timeless, slightly vintage feel that makes them versatile for so many outfits.

A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship – ACQUO Madison

,

As someone who has spent years working with boots—cutting, shaping, and perfecting them—I know quality when I see it. And let me tell you, the ACQUO Madison is a boot that speaks to craftsmanship in every detail.

The moment I picked them up, I could feel it. The natural, soft rubber has that perfect balance of flexibility and structure, allowing for both comfort and durability. Unlike mass-produced boots with stiff, synthetic materials, these are designed to move naturally with the foot. The semi-gloss finish? Just the right amount of shine to make a statement without being overwhelming.

Slipping them on was like stepping into a well-crafted piece of art. The black cotton lining gives a soft, luxurious feel, making them wearable for hours without discomfort. And let’s talk about the heel—a beautifully designed 6 cm high heel that adds elegance while still being stable and walkable. This is where many boots fall short; a high heel on a rubber boot often means compromising on comfort, but not with the Madison. The heel is integrated seamlessly, providing just the right amount of lift without losing balance or support.

At 40 cm shaft height, these boots hit that sweet spot—tall enough to provide coverage, but not so high that they become restrictive. The water-resistant construction ensures that style never has to take a backseat to functionality. Whether paired with jeans, a skirt, or a dress, the Madison adapts effortlessly to any look. I’ve seen and made many boots in my career, but few manage to combine elegance and practicality as effortlessly as these.

Another detail I admire is the thoughtfulness in fit. With two pairs of inner soles included, ACQUO has made sure that every wearer gets a snug and comfortable experience. If you’re between sizes, this feature alone makes a world of difference. And for those who want to keep these beauties looking pristine, I highly recommend pairing them with ACQUO Shine Spray & Super Cloth—because great boots deserve great care.

The ACQUO Madison is not just a boot; it’s a testament to what happens when you blend traditional craftsmanship with modern style. If you appreciate fine materials, expert design, and boots that feel as good as they look, this is the pair for you. Trust me, from a bootmaker’s perspective—this is a masterpiece worth investing in.

A Love Story in Boots – ACQUO Piccadilly

,

You know that feeling when you slip on a pair of shoes and instantly realize they’re going to be a favorite? That was me with the ACQUO Piccadilly boots. I wasn’t just looking for something practical; I wanted boots that could handle a rainy day while still looking stylish enough for a coffee date.

And these? They delivered on every level.

The unboxing itself was a moment. That shiny black rubber is something else – sleek, sophisticated, and with just the right amount of gloss to feel luxurious without being over the top. I held them up, admired the soft, supple feel, and instantly knew these weren’t like any rubber boots I’d owned before.

Slipping them on was just as satisfying. Unlike stiff, clunky rain boots, these actually move with you. The natural rubber is flexible, and thanks to the black cotton lining, they feel just as good inside as they look on the outside. No awkward rubbing, no stiffness – just instant comfort. And that 1.5 cm heel? Just enough to add a bit of structure without compromising on wearability.

The 40 cm shaft height turned out to be perfect for everyday wear. High enough to protect from puddles and rain but not so high that they feel cumbersome. Plus, they go with literally everything. I’ve worn them with skinny jeans, a flowy summer dress, and even with tailored trousers for a sleek, city-ready look. And because they’re water-resistant, I never have to worry about unexpected showers.

Now, let’s talk fit. If you’re like me and sometimes get stuck between sizes, ACQUO has thought of everything. They include two pairs of inner soles, so you can adjust the fit to what feels best. I followed the size guide, and my pair fit like a dream right out of the box.

These boots have effortlessly worked their way into my daily wardrobe. They’re not just practical, they’re stylish, comfortable, and versatile. I’ve even caught myself reaching for them on sunny days just because they complete my outfit so perfectly.

If you’re thinking about getting a pair, just do it. I can promise you’ll find yourself falling in love with them just as quickly as I did.

Rubber Boots? For Fashion? I Had Doubts — Then I Tried

,

Confession: When I first laid eyes on the ACQUO Piccadilly, I was… skeptical. Rubber boots, in fashion? And not just for trudging through muddy fields but as an actual style statement? I had my doubts. But, as any true fashion enthusiast knows, the real test of a piece isn’t how it looks on the shelf—it’s how it feels when you step into it.

First Impressions: Shiny, Sleek, and Surprisingly Chic

Pulling these out of the box, I was intrigued. The semi-glossy black finish gives a sleek, understated elegance—no clunky rain boot energy here. The 40 cm shaft height hits a sweet spot: long enough to elongate the leg but short enough to avoid the equestrian vibe.

And let’s talk about the heel—just 1.5 cm, which is enough to add subtle lift without sacrificing comfort. As someone who swears by stilettos, I wasn’t expecting much. But slipping them on? They actually felt… good. The soft natural rubber molded comfortably around my feet, and the smooth sole made walking feel effortless.

The Real Test: Styling & Street Cred

Naturally, I wasn’t about to wear these with just anything. I went for an oversized blazer, leather leggings, and statement sunglasses—a classic urban-chic look. And guess what? The boots worked. They didn’t just blend in; they actually added an unexpected edge. I even tried them with a flowy summer dress, because, hey, if we’re testing versatility, we go all in. And to my surprise? It worked. The contrast between soft femininity and sleek rubber was, dare I say, genius.

Final Verdict: Am I a Rubber Boot Convert?

I never thought I’d say this, but… yes. The ACQUO Piccadilly took my skepticism and turned it into a full-blown style moment. They’re comfortable, versatile, and undeniably cool. Perfect for city strolls, rainy days, or just when you want to add an unexpected twist to your look.

Would I trade my designer heels for them? Let’s not go crazy. But will I be reaching for these a lot more than I ever imagined? Absolutely ✨
