Style Notes: While printed boots tend to date quite quickly, snake motifs stand the test of time, owing to their largely neutral colour palette. 

3. SQUARE TOE

Style Notes: It's a detail that's taken over every footwear style going (think mules and ballet flats), so it's little wonder that square toes have also cropped up on boots, too. 

4. TWO-TONE

Style Notes: One of the coolest throwback trends we've seen in a while is '60s-style two-tone boots. And they've been given a new lease of life thanks to Wandler. 

5. ECRU
