Winter is coming, Christmas is almost here, and the time of the boot is upon us. You’ll have ditched the flimsy, open-toed pumps and sandals months ago (unless you have particularly warm feet), opting for more robust, closed-toe footwear to keep those tootsies warm and protected. But with Christmas comes a flurry of celebrations, family gatherings and yuletide shenanigans, meaning this is the perfect time to wear some seriously festive footwear to get you into the Christmas spirit. We’re going to give you a rundown of our seasonal footwear essentials and the best Cherry Blossom products to keep them merry and bright.
Snug Slippers for Relaxing at Home
Picture the scene: you’re curled up on the sofa in front of a cosy fire, wrapped in a comfy blanket, your favourite Christmas film on the TV whilst you sip from a steaming mug of Baileys-spiked hot chocolate (we don’t judge). What would a Christmas night-in be without a snug pair of slippers? Christmas at home is all about comfort, warmth and relaxation, and slippers are a must-have to keep your feet toasty as you lounge around the house. Look for fluffy, cushioned slippers with soft lining and a durable sole for support. Fleece-lined slippers or moccasins are popular choices for extra warmth. Bonus points if you find a pair with festive patterns or designs to match your festive PJs. We like totes Fairisle Knit Boot Slippers and Sheepskin Moccasin Suede Slippers from John Lewis.
Pair with: Shoe Deodoriser to keep your slippers fresh, removing any unpleasant odours.
Insulating Boots for Outdoor Adventures
For those heading outside to enjoy the wintery weather, boots are an excellent option. Whether you’re going for a Christmas market stroll, a walk through a snowy park or venturing out to do the dreaded Christmas shopping, a good pair of boots is universal. Winter brings some chilly weather, so we must keep our feet as warm as possible. In this way, winter-specific boots featuring insulated linings and non-slip soles are essential. The Classic Boots range from UGG combines warmth, practicality and style, featuring suede uppers that offer a soft, delicate finish.
Pair with: Shoe Cleaner, Shoe Protector and Suede & Nubuck Multi Brush to keep the suede and nubuck uppers of your boots and other footwear clean and protected. For extra warmth and ultimate snugness, Thermal Comfort Insole will trap in that heat. Your feet can thank us later.
Classy Heels for Christmas Parties
If your Christmas festivities include a formal dinner, work party or a night out with friends, heels are a great way to elevate your outfit and make you feel a million dollars. Opt for heels with velvet or satin finishes to really embody the Christmas cheer. For a more glamorous touch, try sparkling shoes adorned with sequins, glitter or metallic details. Dune London's Channel Gold Buckle Detail Metallic Heeled Courts are real show stoppers. Such dazzling footwear will ensure you're the star of the show at any festive gathering — just be prepared to be followed all night by three wise men on camelback.
Pair with: Gel Comfort Pad for cushioning the balls of your feet and Heel Grip (for heels with backs) to ensure your heels don't sneakily slip off when you're dancing.
Casual Sneakers for Low-Key Celebrations
Christmas doesn’t always have to mean formal attire. It can mean coffee catch-ups with friends, casual gatherings and relaxing strolls, and you don’t get more casual than trainers. A good pair of trainers will give you that effortlessly stylish look whilst ensuring comfort. To make it really Christmassy, why not don a pair in festive colours, like red or green? Brands like Converse or Vans offer sneakers in a range of colours, adding an extra layer of cheer to your casual Christmas look. These are perfect for ensuring you're comfortable without sacrificing festive flair.
Pair with: Cherry Blossom’s Sneaker Range to offer your sneakers the comprehensive care they deserve.
For all our favourite winter-warming footwear, there’s at least one Cherry Blossom product to keep them looking like new. We hope whatever your celebration and whatever footwear takes you there you have the best time – Merry Christmas from all of us at Cherry Blossom!
