Your Winter Hero

All it takes is a slight slip below 10 degrees and cut to all us die hard Canadians scouring the world wide web for the perfect coat, boots and winter accessories. It’s like we are innately cold-averse and our biological thermometers know not to let us completely freeze up. In walks your local hero: Mackage to the rescue.

I’ve probably recommended over a dozen favourite winter jackets, and it’s true, I tend to like a lot of phenomenal brands, but the like of Mackage—and their winter-proof technology—is unparalleled. From the perfect silhouette to the most stunning trims, to the fabric and styles to the unique detail, I mean suffice to say that Eran and Elissa have cornered the market since way back. 

But this year, hold your breath, because, the Hero boot has arrived and wow, is it stunning. There are so many nuanced features to this boot that it almost feels like a throwback to the old Palladium days, but also an incredible play on both an athletic boot as well as a streetwear shoe.

The shearling is so delectable, I know that with the -20 that we are used to, these boots will keep my toes nice and cozy. I am personally obsessed with this winter-white vibe, that perfect champagne look, but they also make the Hero in army and classic black. The boots come with two lace options, which is super Isabel Marant – I just love the tone-on-tone look for the everyday style, and then throw in some orange or red to up the fashion ante. 

Water-resistant and deeply comfortable, I know I can walk through our stormy winter days in these boots. I’ll style them with that perfect jean and t-shirt look as much as I’ll style it with that wool skirt and sweater. This winter, if you’re going to invest in anything, invest in these shoes. Your toes will thank me!
