Birkenstock Highwood Moc Lace Low

There’s no denying Birkenstock’s clogs and sandals are already the ultimate slip-on spring shoe. Still, it isn’t their only offering. This season, the brand’s elevating the everyday with the Highwood Moc Lace Low. While black leather and brown suede are timeless, get out of your comfort zone and embrace a colourful option like pink or blue suede.

After months of being cooped up indoors, the change of season signals it’s time to emerge from hibernation and head back outside. To mark the moment, On has teamed up with Sky High Farm Goods to create the ultimate outdoor shoe. Blending the Swiss brand’s signature innovation with trail-ready performance, the waterproof Cloudrock in Chestnut is built to handle any terrain.

TOMS Alpargata

If winter is about survival, spring is all about taking it easy. That’s where TOMS comes in.

Retro trainers aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. At least according to Onitsuka Tiger who are revamping their signature silhouette with the Tiger Corsair. Available in an array of colourways, it’s the olive green edition that feels especially right for spring. Fresh, versatile and quietly confident. Equal parts heritage and here-and-now, it’s the sneaker that proves good design never breaks stride.

Dr. Martens Lowell Lacquered Moc Toe

Taking sartorial risks doesn’t need to be scary. While black leather Dr. Martens are classic for a reason, take a chance with the Lowell in burgundy lacquered. High-shine, high-impact, these statement boots turn any outfit into a showstopper.
