Journal Entry: My Week in ACQUO Piccadilly

,

Some boots are made for the spotlight, and others quietly work their way into every part of your life—stylish, practical, and effortlessly versatile. The ACQUO Piccadilly boots fall firmly into the latter category, becoming a seamless companion for every occasion.

When I first slipped them on, I thought they’d be perfect for rainy days. But as the week unfolded, I realized they were much more than just wet-weather essentials. From coffee dates to park strolls and everything in between, these boots carried me through it all in comfort and style.

Here’s a glimpse into my week with the ACQUO Piccadilly boots—a journey of unexpected charm and undeniable practicality.,

 

Monday
A gray, drizzly start to the week, but nothing my new ACQUO Piccadilly boots couldn’t handle. As I slipped them on, I was struck by how soft and comfortable the natural rubber felt—no stiff breaking-in period here. The shorter 40 cm shaft and 1.5 cm heel made them feel like the perfect pair for running errands. Paired with dark skinny jeans and a chunky sweater, they handled puddles and slippery sidewalks with ease. By the end of the day, my feet were still dry and happy.

Wednesday
Today was one of those in-between autumn days—too cold for sneakers, too warm for winter boots. I paired the Piccadillys with a plaid midi skirt and tights for a coffee date with a friend. She immediately noticed the semi-glossy black finish and asked if they were new. “They’re rubber boots,” I told her, and she couldn’t believe it. Stylish, functional, and practical—my secret weapon for unpredictable weather.

Friday
Casual Friday at work, and I wanted something that balanced comfort with polish. The Piccadillys with straight-leg denim and a tailored blazer were just the ticket. The glossy black finish gave them a dressier edge, and the smooth sole felt sturdy without being bulky. As I left the office, I noticed how the shorter shaft didn’t bunch around my calves, even after a long day.

Saturday
Sunny but muddy—perfect for a walk in the park. I threw on an oversized sweatshirt and leggings, grabbed my Piccadillys, and headed out. These boots aren’t just for city streets—they held their own on damp trails and grassy patches, proving that a shorter shaft doesn’t mean sacrificing protection. Plus, cleaning them off afterward was a breeze—just a quick wipe, and they were as shiny as ever.

Sunday
Lazy brunch plans turned into an impromptu trip to the local farmer’s market. I paired my Piccadillys with a breezy floral dress, feeling just the right mix of practical and playful. The lower heel kept me comfortable while I wandered through stalls, and the shorter length gave me more freedom of movement than taller boots. Several people complimented them, and I couldn’t resist telling them about ACQUO of Sweden.

After a week in the ACQUO Piccadilly boots, I can confidently say they’re my go-to for everyday wear. They’re versatile enough to pair with almost anything, comfortable enough for all-day adventures, and stylish enough to turn heads. Whether you’re dodging puddles, strolling through muddy trails, or dressing up for brunch, these boots fit seamlessly into your day.

If you’re looking for a chic, functional addition to your wardrobe, the Piccadillys are calling your name.

Walking Through Halloween in Style: My ACQUO Manhattan

,

Walking Through Halloween in Style

There’s something about Halloween that invites a bit of mystery and flair—and, let’s be honest, a great excuse to dress up. This year, I decided to skip the costume store and instead invest in a show-stopping look that I could wear long past Halloween night. Enter the ACQUO Manhattan thigh-high boots. These aren’t just boots; they’re an entire mood, and they’re giving me the perfect mix of high-fashion edge and Halloween vibes.

The Unboxing: A Glimpse of Gothic Elegance

When I first unboxed my ACQUO Manhattans, I was immediately drawn in by their semi-glossy black finish. They have just the right amount of sheen—enough to make them stand out but still refined. Made from natural, soft rubber, they looked sleek and daring. But what really sold me? The 6 cm heel that adds just the right lift, giving that extra bit of drama without sacrificing comfort. I felt like I was unboxing a character from my favorite gothic novel.

Trick-or-Treat (And Everywhere in Between)

These boots aren’t just for costume parties. I’m styling them with everything from leather jackets and dark skirts to cozy oversized sweaters. They make a perfect pairing with my autumn wardrobe, but the gothic vibes make them a dream for Halloween-inspired looks. When Halloween weekend arrives, I’m planning a vampy, sophisticated look—think black lace dress, some artful eye makeup, and my Manhattans.

And on a chilly, rain-soaked day like today, I took them out for their first real test. The boots are water-resistant, so I wasn’t worried about any sudden downpours. And they held up beautifully—no slipping, no soggy toes, just chic comfort and style. I felt like I could conquer just about any haunted house in these boots!

The Fit & Feel: Ready for Adventure

One thing I adore about the ACQUO Manhattan boots is how comfortable they are for thigh-highs. The shaft height is 80 cm, so they sit just right on the leg, staying in place without the need for constant adjustments. ACQUO includes two pairs of inner soles, which I immediately popped in for extra coziness. These small details make a difference, especially for boots that are as tall and structured as these.

For those hesitant about sizing, ACQUO’s size guide made it easy to find my fit, and I’d definitely recommend checking it out to get that perfect fit. With sizes ranging from 37 to 46, they’re crafted with care for every shape and size, which is part of what makes these boots so unique. They’re inclusive, just as any Halloween should be.

From Haunted Nights to Everyday Chills

Now that I’ve styled my ACQUO Manhattans for a few outings, I’m convinced these boots have year-round appeal. They’re not only comfortable but bring a boldness to my wardrobe that works from October through every season. Paired with leggings or worn under my long wool coat, they’re effortlessly versatile. And with a high heel that’s both manageable and stylish, they’re easy to wear all day without that dreaded “party shoe” fatigue.

Whether it’s to complete a spooky look or just to add some extra style to everyday wear, I can see myself reaching for these boots time and again. They’re striking enough to make you feel like you’re stepping into another era, but comfortable enough to keep you in the moment, wherever that may be.

 

Your Own Halloween Classic Awaits

If you’re in the market for a boot that can do it all—from chic everyday looks to channeling your inner goth this Halloween—then ACQUO Manhattan is a must. They’re perfect for those days when you want to add some extra edge, and they’re just as practical for that rainy autumn weather. I’m already planning to wear them well past Halloween—whether it’s stomping through fall leaves or turning heads at a winter party, these boots will be my go-to.

So if you’re ready to add a bit of drama and flair to your wardrobe this Halloween (and beyond), the ACQUO Manhattan thigh-highs might just be your new obsession. I can’t wait to see where they take me next, but one thing’s for sure: these boots are anything but ordinary.

A Stroll Through the Seasons with the ACQUO Valencia

,

A Perfect Companion for Everyday Style

Imagine a cool morning in early fall. The streets are painted in hues of burnt orange and amber, and there’s a refreshing chill in the air. You know the kind of day where a slight drizzle is always possible, and you’re planning to wander through the farmers’ market, do a little shopping, and maybe stop for a cozy coffee along the way. You want footwear that’s stylish, but also comfortable for a day of walking and—let’s be honest—Instagram-ready for whatever the day may bring.

Enter the ACQUO Valencia, a thigh-high beauty in semi-glossy black rubber, thoughtfully designed with a low, everyday heel of just 1.5 cm. It’s sleek yet understated, perfect for long walks, while also offering protection for any weather surprises. Having tried them myself, I’ll say it’s rare to find thigh-high boots that balance sophistication with comfort so seamlessly. And as much as I loved them on that crisp fall day, I quickly found the Valencias were up for all kinds of seasonal adventures.

Style that Takes You from Rain to Shine

When I first slipped into the Valencias, I noticed the soft rubber immediately—perfectly form-fitting without any stiffness. These boots are made to move with you, keeping every step easy and light. The water-resistant material is more than just practical; it means that even in rain or puddles, you’re effortlessly chic, with none of the fuss that some high boots demand.

Now, a thigh-high, semi-gloss boot might sound dramatic, but the Valencia brings that little bit of drama in a very wearable way. The shine is subtle, giving the boots a nice depth, especially against a pair of classic blue jeans or even a summer dress. And if you’re a little shy about going all-out with thigh-highs, I assure you: these blend in as a staple piece—elevating your look rather than overtaking it.

Everyday Comfort, All Day Long

One thing that often holds people back from boots is the comfort factor, but the Valencia’s low heel makes them ideal for wearing from morning to night. The 1.5 cm heel is barely noticeable in the best way possible, offering just a touch of elevation while ensuring comfort. I found myself reaching for these boots as much for casual errand days as for a night out—they adapt easily, proving that the Valencias are indeed made for every occasion.

They also come with two pairs of inner soles, a nice touch that shows ACQUO knows its customers—if you’re someone who loves a little extra arch support or the option to swap out soles for something custom, you’ll appreciate these included extras.

Embracing Versatility

One of my favorite outfits with the Valencias? A laid-back gray sweater dress and chunky scarf, with the boots giving just the right amount of edge. And in spring, they look incredible with a light denim skirt or tailored shorts—they add an effortless touch of style without requiring any added planning. Because they’re so neutral, I’ve also found they pair with nearly every accessory under the sun, from crossbody bags to a simple leather belt.

If you’re considering something versatile yet fun, these make a great addition to the wardrobe—especially for anyone who might usually shy away from bold fashion pieces. They bridge that gap between statement and staple, working for both everyday comfort and the standout days when you want to dress things up.

Finding Your Fit

The Valencias are available in a great range of sizes (37 to 46), and I recommend checking out ACQUO’s size guide for an ideal fit. I went with my usual size, and they fit comfortably even with thicker socks for chilly days. The 70 cm shaft height is just right, especially for a thigh-high, reaching a bit above the knee for a flattering, elongating effect.

Final Thoughts: A Year-Round Wardrobe Essential

After wearing the ACQUO Valencia boots through all kinds of weather and outfits, I can say they’re more than just a pretty pair of boots—they’re a piece of everyday magic. With quality materials, thoughtful design, and that hard-to-find balance between style and practicality, they’re a pair I look forward to wearing for years to come. Whether you’re looking to elevate your casual looks or want a reliable pair of boots that won’t back down in the rain, the Valencias are a solid choice that brings out your best style in every season.

The Reluctant Fashionista’s Journey: A Surprising Love Affair with ACQUO

,

Let me start with a confession: I’m not a “fashion person.” My idea of dressing up used to be switching out my well-worn hiking boots for a slightly less muddy pair. Fashion was never my scene. But recently, I’ve started dipping a toe—well, a boot—into the world of stylish footwear. Why? Blame it on curiosity and a few too many rainy days spent in drab rubber shoes. I’ve been on the hunt for something that can hold up against the elements but doesn’t make me look like I’m about to tackle the Appalachian Trail.

Enter the ACQUO Savannah boots. When I heard the words “high-heeled overknee rubber boots” I was both intrigued and skeptical. Could a boot really be stylish and practical? The Savannah boots had a lot to prove to this former functional-gear addict.

First Impressions: Can you have style in a downpour?

Right out of the box, I was surprised by the ACQUO Savannah’s appearance. The semi-glossy black finish looked chic—yes, I’m saying chic—and the soft rubber felt surprisingly upscale compared to your average pair of rain boots. I was used to bulky, plain, utilitarian wellies, and this boot was anything but that.

The 70 cm shaft height added a touch of drama, and let me tell you, I’ve never owned boots that go above my knees. These made me feel like I was channeling some kind of runway energy—even if I was just wearing them in my living room. The 6 cm block heel seemed like it would be daunting, but when I slipped them on, I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they felt. I guess there’s something to be said for merging fashion with a functional block heel.

And let’s not forget that they’re water-resistant. It rained on my first day of wearing them out, and instead of my usual cautious shuffle across wet pavement, I found myself confidently strutting (yes, strutting). Not only did the boots keep my feet dry, but they actually made me want to go out in the rain just to show them off. Who would’ve thought?

Styling the ACQUO Savannah

Now, I’ll admit, figuring out how to style these boots was a bit intimidating at first. I mean, I’m the person who pairs wool socks with sandals on the regular. But once I got over the mental hurdle, I found the Savannah boots to be a lot more versatile than I’d expected.

I tried them first with a pair of classic denim jeans, and it instantly felt like I’d leveled up from “weekend hiker” to “effortlessly cool city-dweller.” I rolled up the hem just a bit to show off the semi-glossy finish of the boot, which added a little flair. Then, on a particularly gray day, I threw on a knee-length wool coat and a beanie, and suddenly I looked like someone who knew what they were doing with fashion. Who knew rubber boots could give off an “urban explorer” vibe?

But the real magic happened when I paired the Savannah boots with a simple black dress. The high-shaft design added a dramatic, almost elegant touch, while still maintaining that rugged practicality. It was like the boots were saying, “Yes, I’m fashionable, but I’m also here to get things done.” The fact that the soft rubber shaft was flexible enough to move with me, rather than feeling stiff or constricting, made them comfortable for a longer stroll.

Walking the walk: Are they *really* comfortable?

I’ll be honest, when I first heard “high-heeled rubber boots,” I pictured a situation where I’d be wobbling around on the 6 cm heel, regretting all my life choices. But that wasn’t the case at all. The block heel offered a surprising amount of stability, and the soft inner soles (yes, they come with two pairs!) made walking in them a breeze. It felt like a nice balance between practical and stylish—like I could wear these to brunch and then go on a leisurely walk afterward without swapping footwear.

The black cotton lining also provided a comfortable fit that didn’t feel too hot or sticky, which is something I was worried about with rubber boots. After all, I’m used to gear that focuses purely on function. These boots somehow managed to bring in that comfort factor while still looking sleek and polished.

Would I recommend them? The surprising verdict

In short: Yes. Yes, I would. The ACQUO Savannah boots have made a reluctant fashion convert out of me. They’ve proven that it’s actually possible to find footwear that’s stylish enough to turn heads but practical enough to keep you dry and comfortable. Who says you can’t have it all?

Sure, they might seem like a bold choice for someone who used to think “fashionable footwear” meant choosing a different color of hiking boot. But if I can pull them off, then anyone can. I’m already looking at getting another pair—maybe in a different style, just to mix things up. After all, why settle for just one pair when you can match your boots to your mood?

So, if you’re on the fence like I was, give the ACQUO Savannah a try. Even if you’re not a “fashion person,” these boots just might make you rethink what stylish and practical really mean.

My Unexpected Love Affair with ACQUO’s Lexington Boots

,

I have a confession to make: I never thought I’d be that person who gets excited about boots. Sure, I’ve always appreciated a good pair of shoes, but the world of rubber boots? Not exactly where I thought I’d find fashion bliss. But then, one rainy day, everything changed. Enter the ACQUO Lexington, and let me tell you, these boots have me head over (rubber) heels.

Before we dive into the details, let me set the scene. Picture this: it’s a Saturday morning, and I’m prepping for what’s supposed to be a casual brunch date with friends. It’s pouring outside, and of course, I’m tempted to throw on my old rain boots and call it a day. But something stops me. I see my ACQUO Lexington boots gleaming by the door, and I think, “Why not go for it?”

First Impressions: The Boot That Turns Heads

When I first slipped into the ACQUO Lexington, I was taken aback by how comfortable they were for something so high-fashion. At 60 cm in height with a 6 cm heel, these over-the-knee boots demand attention. Yet, they don’t scream for it – they whisper elegance. Glossy black, sleek, and just the right balance of glam and subtle, they immediately transformed my rainy day outfit from “meh” to “yes, please.”

I paired them with my favorite skinny jeans, but honestly, I could’ve worn them with a dress, a skirt, or even leggings and they would still look incredible. That’s one of the things I love most about the Lexington: they don’t just fit into your wardrobe, they elevate it. Whether I’m dressing up for a fancy event or just keeping it casual, these boots somehow make everything look 10 times better.

Let’s Talk Comfort: Function Meets Fashion

Now, let’s talk about something we all care about – comfort. It’s easy to assume that anything with a 6 cm heel is bound to be a little, well, unforgiving on the feet. But surprisingly, the Lexington doesn’t just look good; it feels good, too. Made from natural soft rubber, these boots mold to your legs in the most flattering way, and the rubber sole makes every step feel cushioned. ACQUO even includes two pairs of inner soles, so if you’re like me and have a habit of switching between thick socks and bare feet, you’re covered.

 

Rain? Mud? These boots couldn’t care less. Water-resistant and built to handle whatever nature throws your way, they’re a rare find in the world of fashion: they look good and they’re practical. I was strolling through the city streets, avoiding puddles at first (because, you know, instincts), but then I thought, “What am I doing? These are rubber boots!” So I started walking straight through those puddles, and not a drop made its way inside.

Styling the Lexington: Endless Possibilities

One of the things that sets the Lexington apart is how versatile they are. Seriously, these boots can take you from the office to date night to a weekend escape. When I wore them for brunch, they were the perfect complement to my casual jeans-and-blazer look, but I could easily imagine them with a little black dress for an evening out. The semi-glossy finish gives them just the right amount of shine without being too over-the-top, making them appropriate for both daytime and nighttime wear.

If you’re feeling daring, I recommend pairing these with a flowy summer dress. Yes, even in the rain! The contrast between the feminine dress and the bold, glossy boots is such a power move. And don’t be afraid to accessorize – a wide-brim hat, a crossbody bag, or even a chunky scarf can add a little extra flair to your look.

Why the Lexington Boots Are More Than Just Footwear

Here’s the thing: the ACQUO Lexington boots aren’t just something you wear – they’re a statement. They say, “I’m practical, but I’m also not afraid to stand out.” They’re for the person who wants to be prepared for anything, whether it’s a sudden downpour or a spontaneous weekend trip, without sacrificing an ounce of style.

And while I know I’ve been raving about how fabulous they look, let’s not forget the practical details. At 66 cm in total length, with a 60 cm shaft height, these boots have all the coverage you need for staying dry, while the natural rubber material makes them durable and flexible. Plus, they come in sizes 37 to 46, so no matter your shoe size, you can find the perfect fit. And if you’re unsure about what size to get, ACQUO has a handy size guide to help you out.

A Rainy Day Romance: Falling in Love with ACQUO Lexington

As I wrapped up my brunch date, a funny thing happened – I realized I didn’t even notice the rain anymore. The Lexington boots had not only kept me dry, but they’d also given me a confidence boost I hadn’t expected. I walked through the city with a little more pep in my step, feeling like I could take on the world.

So, if you’re on the fence about rubber boots, let me be the first to tell you: you haven’t met the ACQUO Lexington yet. These boots are more than just rain gear – they’re a style revolution wrapped in soft, glossy rubber. Whether you’re navigating city streets or country paths, they’re up for the challenge. And trust me, once you slip them on, you won’t want to take them off.

So what’s the verdict?

If you’re looking for a boot that’s as stylish as it is functional, the ACQUO Lexington is a game-changer. They’ve taken everything you thought you knew about rubber boots and flipped it on its head. Rainy days? Bring them on. With these boots, you’ll be ready for anything, and you’ll look amazing while doing it.

Now, excuse me while I plan my next weekend escape – and yes, you better believe the Lexington boots will be coming with me.

Fashion reviews: We deep dive into Casablanca and Oxford+

,

Let’s be honest: when most people think about rubber boots, they imagine something purely functional – the kind of thing you throw on for gardening or stomping through puddles. But ACQUO of Sweden has taken that practical concept and transformed it into something fashionable, stylish, and dare I say, downright chic!

Today, I’m excited to talk about two of their standout models: the Casablanca and Oxford+ rubber boots. And trust me, these aren’t your typical rain boots.

Fashion, comfort, and practicality in one sleek boot

Let’s start with the ACQUO Casablanca. If you’re looking for a boot that effortlessly blends fashion and comfort, this might just be it. With a 6 cm heel, these semi-glossy beauties somehow manage to be both eye-catching and understated at the same time. Personally, I love the versatility of the Casablanca – the slightly shorter shaft makes them perfect to pair with just about anything. Skinny jeans and a leather jacket? Absolutely. A cute skirt and tights for a fall date? Yes, please. Honestly, these boots feel like the… what is it called? That knife thing that does a lot (Swiss?) – they go with everything!

What’s really nice about these boots is the soft rubber and cotton lining. Now, I’m no stranger to wearing heels, but let’s face it, some of them can be murder on your feet. Not these! ACQUO’s Casablanca strikes that rare balance of being stylish without making your feet hate you by the end of the day. A heeled rubber boot? Who knew such a thing could be this comfortable? Not only do they feel good, but they’ve got a certain understated elegance. That semi-gloss finish is subtle enough to work for a variety of outfits, yet still sleek enough to turn heads.

Plus, these boots are available in sizes ranging from 37 to 46, which means a wide range of feet can slip into them. No need to worry about whether they’ll fit—there’s a size guide for that (seriously, check it out). And let’s not forget one key detail: they are rubber, which means they are weather-resistant! Rain? Mud? These boots laugh in the face of bad weather. If you ask me, they’re the ultimate blend of style and function.

Oxford+: For the fashion-forward adventurer

Next up, we have the ACQUO Oxford+, which I like to think of as the adventurous cousin of the Casablanca. If Casablanca is all about classic, understated elegance, then Oxford+ is the bold, daring one. These are black, glossy, over-the-knee boots that scream “I’m not afraid of a little rain, but I also want to look fabulous while walking through it.”

The Oxford+ boots are perfect for those days when you want to make a statement – and trust me, over-the-knee boots always make a statement. What I love about these is how they manage to be both bold and practical. They have a low 1.5 cm heel, which makes them super comfortable for longer walks (because let’s be real, no one wants to trek through a rainy city with sore feet). Whether you’re headed out for brunch or just a rainy day stroll, you can pull off these boots with ease. Imagine pairing them with a cute summer dress on a rainy day – it’s the perfect way to stay stylish without sacrificing comfort.

And like the Casablanca, these boots come in a wide range of sizes. Over-the-knee boots can sometimes feel intimidating, but the Oxford+ strikes a nice balance between high fashion and wearability. They don’t feel overwhelming, even if you’re not used to such tall boots. In fact, they can be the star of your outfit. I’ve paired them with a flowy summer dress, and let me tell you, it’s a whole vibe—whether it’s sunny or pouring down rain, you’ll be ready to go.

 

ACQUO Boots – what I’ve learned after reviewing them

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about ACQUO boots, it’s that they’re more than just footwear. These boots are an investment in style, comfort, and practicality all rolled into one. Whether you’re drawn to the classy vibes of the Casablanca or the bold confidence of the Oxford+, you’ll be getting a pair of boots that are built to last. The natural rubber construction makes them incredibly durable and weather-resistant, so you won’t need to worry about puddles, mud, or even a sudden downpour ruining your look.

Not to mention, ACQUO even has you covered when it comes to keeping your boots in top shape. Their Shine Spray & Super Cloth duo will keep that semi-gloss and glossy finish looking brand new, no matter how many rainy adventures you take them on. (Seriously, take care of your boots – they’ll love you for it, and you’ll love them even more.)

And the results are in…

At the end of the day, whether you’re strutting through the city streets or just heading out for a casual weekend coffee run, ACQUO’s Casablanca and Oxford+ boots have you covered – literally, from head to toe. These aren’t just rubber boots, they’re a statement. They’re practical, they’re stylish, and they’re the kind of boots that make you feel good and look good, no matter the weather.

So, if you’re tired of sacrificing style for functionality, or if you’ve ever wondered, “Can rubber boots really be fashionable?” – the answer is a resounding yes!

A Day in Stockholm with My ACQUO Lissabon Boots

,

There’s something undeniably chic about a pair of boots that combine style and practicality in the most effortless way. Right? I mean, I’m all for looking good – but I’m not a teenager anymore, and I’m honestly through and done with breaking my feet into slabs of meat, just to keep the style factor up. So, what to do?

Well, enter ACQUO of Sweden’s Lissabon and Lissabon+—two stunning variations of the same sleek black rubber boots that are as versatile as they are stylish. Whether you’re running errands or dressing up for a casual outing, these boots have got you covered!

Now, let me tell you about the day I first wore my ACQUO Lissabon boots in Stockholm. It was one of those crisp autumn mornings when the air is cool, but the sky is bright, and the city feels alive. I had a few errands to run, but I also wanted to treat myself to a cozy fika in Gamla Stan. The Lissabon boots were an easy choice—perfect for a day spent walking along the cobblestone streets but still chic enough for a coffee date.

I paired them with my favorite oversized sweater (gotta keep that cozy autumn style in mind!), a white tank top underneath and a flowy midi skirt. As I walked through the city, I felt like I could take on the world—these boots are not only comfortable, but they also add a touch of sophistication to any outfit.

The soft rubber gently molded to my feet, and despite the hours spent wandering from Södermalm to the Old Town, I felt like I could walk for days. The low heel was just enough to give me a little boost, but not so high that I had to worry about discomfort.

Seeing my home town from a different perspective

By mid-afternoon, I found myself sitting in a quaint café, sipping on a hot chocolate while the sun dipped lower in the sky. The best part? My boots still looked as good as new, despite a full day of walking. I even got a compliment from the barista on how stylish they were!

If you’ve ever had one of those days where you want to look put-together but still need practical footwear, I can’t recommend the Lissabon boots enough. Whether you’re heading out for a day in the city or just looking to add a bit of polish to your everyday look, they’re the perfect companion.

And if you’re like me and sometimes prefer a shorter shaft, the Lissabon+ is just as wonderful—ideal for those quick trips to the store or when you’re looking for something a little more relaxed. It’s all about the subtle details, and these boots truly nail that balance between function and fashion.

If you’re someone who’s always on the lookout for that perfect balance between practical footwear and chic design, ACQUO of Sweden has you covered with their stunning Lissabon and Lissabon+ boots.

These two variations are everything you could want in a rubber boot—timeless style, incredible comfort, and just the right amount of flair to elevate your everyday looks.

ACQUO Lissabon: Everyday Elegance Made Simple

The ACQUO Lissabon is designed for those busy days when you want to look polished but still need footwear that can handle whatever the day throws at you. With a 50 cm shaft and a sleek 1.5 cm heel, these semi-glossy black boots are made from soft natural rubber, offering comfort and style in one neat package.

Now, what I love most about the Lissabon is how easy they are to style. You can slip them on with a flowy summer dress, or tuck in a pair of skinny jeans for a more casual look. No matter how you wear them, they instantly elevate your outfit with a touch of effortless sophistication.

They’re simply perfect for everyday use, thanks to the low heel that gives you just enough lift without sacrificing comfort. And with sizes ranging from 37 to 46, there’s a pair for everyone!

ACQUO Lissabon+: Take Your Look to New Heights

Now, if you’re craving something a bit bolder, the ACQUO Lissabon+ is your go-to. With a taller 55 cm shaft, these boots bring a dramatic flair while maintaining the same low, comfortable heel of 1.5 cm. The glossy black finish and sleek shape make them ideal for those days when you want to stand out a little more, without losing the practicality that ACQUO is known for.

Like their shorter counterpart, the Lissabon+ is crafted from natural, soft rubber and designed to hug your legs comfortably, making them perfect for long days on your feet. Whether you’re strolling through the city or heading to a cozy dinner, they’ll have you feeling both stylish and at ease. And yes, they look just as great with a dress as they do with jeans!

 

 

High fashion and rubber boots – impossible, or simply perfection?

,

As someone who lives and breathes fashion, I always strive to balance style with comfort. And trust me, when you find something that ticks both boxes, it feels like you’ve struck gold. Enter Acquo of Sweden – a brand that’s redefining what rubber boots can be. Yes, you heard me right, rubber boots!

You might think they’re only for rainy days, but let me introduce you to two incredible styles that prove rubber boots can be just as chic as your favorite pair of heels. Let’s talk about the Oxford and Lissabon boots!

ACQUO Oxford: Over-the-knee, under-the-rain, and totally chic

First up, we have the ACQUO Oxford, which is a total game-changer for those days when you want to look cute, even if the skies are pouring. These over-the-knee boots aren’t just practical – they’re genuinely fashionable! I love the semi-glossy finish, which gives them a touch of elegance without being too flashy. And that low 1.5 cm heel? Perfection. It’s just enough to give you a bit of height without sacrificing comfort, which makes these boots perfect for long walks through the city or even a countryside escape.

Picture this: you’re in a flowy summer dress, and even though it’s a bit drizzly, your Oxfords keep you looking polished and effortlessly stylish. They’re made from natural soft rubber, so they feel great to wear, and let’s be honest, that over-the-knee length is just wow. It elongates the legs and instantly elevates any outfit. Whether it’s rain or shine, the Oxfords will have you turning heads for all the right reasons.

And can we just have a moment to talk about how these boots are gender neutral? Seriously – yes, we all know boots, especially high boots of the fashionable kind, are marketed towards women. Women are also the largest group buying them; so it makes sense. Follow the money, and all that. And yet, looking at all the marketing material, we can clearly see how these long boots actually work very well with a masculine, modern style. They go with jeans and black suit pants, and almost create this mix of feminine and masculine that makes the manly aura become more profound.

What do you guys think? Would you throw a fit if your husband showed up in these – or are you like me, and appreciate when men go out of the boring old box, and try something new and striking.

 

ACQUO Lissabon: The go-to boot for everyday glam

Now, let’s talk about the ACQUO Lissabon. If you’re looking for something a bit more understated but still elegant, this is your new everyday favorite. The shorter shaft and sleek, shiny black finish make them super versatile. They’re perfect for pairing with jeans or even a cute summer dress when you want to feel a bit more casual yet still put-together.

The 1.5 cm heel makes them just as comfy as the Oxford model, but the lower height and shorter shaft give them a more laid-back vibe. They’re stylish enough for brunch dates, yet practical for daily errands. And let’s not forget – the softness of the rubber is a dream. You get all the benefits of a durable boot without feeling like your feet are weighed down. It’s like your favorite sneakers but with way more style.

 

So, fashion or function? Why not both!

What I love about Acquo of Sweden is how they’ve turned the humble rubber boot into something that’s not only functional but fashionable. Whether it’s the bold and beautiful over-the-knee Oxford or the classic and chic Lissabon, these boots are proof that style and practicality can, in fact, go hand in hand.

If you haven’t tried rubber boots outside of rainy days yet, trust me, these will change your mind. And with sizes ranging from 37 to 46, there’s something for everyone. Don’t forget to check out the size guide – because finding the perfect fit is key to feeling fabulous!

So, what do you think? Ready to take your style game to the next level with Acquo of Sweden?

At least for myself, I know I’ll be. XOXO, fellow fashionistas!
