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!

Step into the world of ACQUO

The world’s first book featuring exclusive ACQUO Wellington Boots is finally here!

The vintage Swedish company ACQUO of Sweden manufactures and sells the world’s most exclusive wellington boots. As part of Swedish industrial history since the 70s, they have now published a lavish book that presents the handmade and 100 percent vegan boot as both a luxurious but also environmentally friendly garment that stands the test of time and ideal in all weathers.

ACQUO of Sweden is a Swedish company steadily growing with customers all over the world. Now they are publishing the big luxury book “Step into the world of ACQUO” with the unique wellies as a focus.

– It’s not just Models and celebrities but women in the middle of life of all ages. The oldest in the book is 63 years old and the youngest is 6 years old.
