January must be the most uninspiring month when it comes to getting dressed, but that doesn't stop supermodels like Hailey Bieber. Spotted out and about in Aspen, the model's off-duty wardrobe has been the definition of #winteroutfitgoals. And if you're looking for takeaways, a good starting point might be her padded boots. Bieber's are from Loewe, which have a statement pumped-up sole and thick bands of quilting, but there's a more affordable way to tap into the trend thanks to H&M and & Other Stories.
At £165, Stories' boots are available in chocolate brown, black and beige and are made of recycled polyamide. They will protect your feet in rain, snow and anything else that may befall us all this winter. Plus, they'll look remarkably cool with jeans or midi dresses, making them a truly versatile and worthwhile purchase. In even better news, the brown pair (a personal favourite) are currently on sale for £95.
At H&M, there are even better deals, with these brilliant khaki puffer boots on sale for just £14. It seems a lot of people have noticed their brilliance, however, as only a couple of sizes are currently left in stock. You can sign up for updates, however, to be notified as and when your size comes back on site.

4 of 5& Other Stories, Black Padded Winter Boots
These boots could be considered a homage to both Louis Vuitton's and the Loewe pair spotted on Hailey. They'll look great with jeans tucked-in (or leather trousers if you're after the off-duty supermodel look) or even with tights and short dresses.
5 of 5Louis Vuitton, Pillow Boots
The boots seen on everyone from Sophie Turner to Florence Pugh, they're certainly an investment at just over £800. At least, however, you can certainly state that they're practical and will last for many, many winters to come.
The trend for padded footwear started at Louis Vuitton, who made a pair of pillowy ankle boots worn by Viola Davis, Florence Pugh and Sophie Turner, not to mention hoards of influencers. The reason for their popularity must be that they're part-slipper part-boot, ensuring comfort, snug factor and fashion kudos all at the same time.
And just think how smug you'll feel if there's a surprise snow day and your feet are encased in these cosy boots. You'll be skipping your way to work, free of the fear of contracting trench foot because your ballet pumps got soaking wet in a puddle of sludge.
