Snow squalls and -30° weather don’t mix well with fashion. How do you look stylish buried under a Michelin Man-inspired parka and three layers of knits, Under Armour and long johns? Boots – ones that are actually insulated and water-resistant – tend to be especially heinous style offenders.
Don’t lose hope. Use Canadian-designed Stolen Riches laces to give your boots a little spice of life without having to shell out the big bucks on designer labels. They come in a variety of bright colours and are guaranteed to outlast your shoes. We could all use a little brightening up this time of year.
