The €49 M&S boots we’re going to be living in for the next few weeks

Winter is in full swing, which means a few things are all-but-guaranteed.

The trees are bare; the halls are decked; the days are getting shorter (seriously, they're gone in a blink of an eye) and way colder - which means it's time to break out all the cold weather clothing. Which, thanks to the unpredictability of Irish weather, includes sensible footwear. You've got to be prepare at all times, after all. And we reckon we have found the pair that of ankle boots that you're going to be seeing a lot of this winter - and they come in three gorgeous colours. The Block Heel Square Toe Chelsea Boots are going to be our new wardrobe must-have - and we can't believe they cost just €49. They are one of those pieces we know we would get a lot of wear out of - especially since they would go with just about everything in our wardrobes. The boots come in a classic black colour, as well as brown and a vibrant red - which we are absolutely loving.  "Part of our Must-Have collection, these super-chic vegan ankle boots are designed with block heels and stretch side panels," the retailer said of the piece. "Plus, Insolia® technology means they’ll stay comfy all day. Jeans are a classic pairing but try these vegan-friendly women's boots with pleated midi skirts too."
