Nothing Says "I've Got Great Taste" Quite Like Zara's Latest Drop of Designer-Looking Boots

Take it from me, an editor with a lot of shoe-shopping experience under my belt; there are a lot of cheap and cheerful shoe options around on the high street these days. Whether it's a designer dupe or a buzzy new trend, affordable footwear makes luxury style accessible to everyone, but sometimes the quality can fall shorter than than anticipated. While we know we can happily shop premium brands like The Row, Jimmy Choo, and Manolo Blahnik for a pair of shoes that will last a lifetime, we can't always splash out on three figures and above, so for those looking for a could-be-designer shoe that delivers on style and substance, Zara has become something of a shoe lover's dream.

So how does Zara do it in such a way that outshines the competitors? Well, It's all about the fashion-forward design, carefully considered palette and use of fabrics. Yes, you know that once spring rolls around they're going to be reliable for ballet flats and sandals, but there's also likely to be a runway-esque wedge, or fresh interpretation of the mule that will grab and hold our attention. Forget buying a pair of cheap flip flops that split after one wear when you can wear a Zara loafer and have everyone think you spent £200.

And what styles is this editor investing in now? Well, while we're in the chilly in-between of winter and spring, boots are still doing a lot of the (leg)work in my wardrobe. Not only are they perfect to wear now with jeans, but as soon as it's sunnier again you''ll find me in a trench coat, mini and knee high boots (most likely purchased from the latest Zara drop).
