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.
