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.

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.

Step into the world of ACQUO

The world’s first book featuring ACQUO’s iconic rubber 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.

– I wanted to create, inspire and invest in culture at a time when people really need inspiration for the future, says Jessica Lingonstierna, CEO and owner of the company.

Despite the prevailing pandemic

Jessica wanted to celebrate that her business had been running for five years and did not see Corona as an insurmountable obstacle, but instead wanted to give people the opportunity to work with something fun and creative. Jessica’s belief is that everyone needs to think sustainably and start planning their consumption.

– It is not about cutting back on style, elegance, and the way we express ourselves, but to create a lifestyle and a wardrobe with the environment in mind.

Jessica was concerned about how photographers, models and even her own company were affected by Covid. Therefore, she took hold of a dream she had for several years. Namely an idea and concept to create an exciting “Coffee table photography book” with a focus on Acquo’s iconic rubber Boots and women from all walks of life. Women who want to combine family life with a career and a sense of luxury.

Jessica hired four photographers, an illustrator and more than 20 women as models. Layout and graphic design she did herself. Among the participants are the award-winning English photographer Guy Reece published in many leading newspapers, magazines such as Vogue and Elle magazine, and Christy Rilling who is former First Lady Michelle Obama’s personal stylist and tailor.

Passion for capturing the beauty of the world around them

Christy who works with many celebrities in the US and around the world is featuring her own designs in the book and is also a model in the book, Jessica says. The two Swedish photographers are Yohanna Idha who is also an actress and model and HannaH Hedin who is a well-established photographer. Both Yohanna and Hannah have an intense passion for capturing the beauty of the world around them.

It all now culminates in a 168-page book filled with inspiring, vivid and creative images of career women and mothers from different backgrounds and ages. The book focuses on women from Sweden, England and the USA.

– 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. I really want to show that we can all find play, movement and beauty within us. That you can create despite dark times. It’s not just a matter of keeping your feet dry!
