Of all the things I love about Winter, the changing of the wardrobe is right up there with the best of them. Every Winter, I fold and pack away the summer clothes, pop the strappy shoes and sandals back in their boxes and look forward to breaking out the big coats, tights and boots. The same goes for the girls. I absolutely love their Winter wardrobe. From thick footless tights, to cute fur trimmed hoods and long sleeved dresses all in autumn shades of orange, purple and brown. They always look absolutely adorable (even if I looked like I’ve been dragged through a hedge backwards!).

This year they are looking even more adorable than ever thanks to the new Start-Rite boots collection. This A/W, Start-Rite have partnered with JoJo Maman Bébé to launch an exclusive new collection, combining classic Start-Rite styling with JoJo’s endearing characters. The whole range has a theme of friendship running through it.

We were lucky enough to put some of the new designs through their paces and I couldn’t resist teaming them up with some of Neve’s favourite JoJo outfits (which are available now online and instore!)

About the Start-Rite x JoJo Collaboration

The JoJo Start-Rite collection of adorable shoes and boots have been designed to allow natural movement and freedom whilst still providing an adequate level of support and that all important growing room for growing feet. The whole range is available in whole and half sizes and a choice of width fittings.

We checked out two of their exciting new designs in the popular Chelsea boot style ‘FRIEND’ that Start-Rite is renowned for! There are six new designs including Wine Mouse, Navy Hedgehog, Harvest Gold, Teal Puffin, Tan Fox and Navy Dino and we chose Tan Fox and Wine Mouse- they were just so cute we couldn’t resist! As you can see they are really unique and look great!

First up, Neve chose the Tan Fox Friend boot. This design comes with an adorable friendly fox peeking out from the elasticated part of the boot. The tan fox Friend boot also has a zip and fastener one one side for a super secure fit, toe and heel bumpers to protect little feet on their Winter adventures. The sole is lightweight and flexible for easy movement and they are leather lined to absorb moisture on those wet winter walks. The boots are available from S3 to S9.5 in F and G fits.

Their lightweight nature means that they are easy to carry and Neve was able to put these on and take them off herself without assistance; helping reduce the time it takes us to get out the house and start exploring!

The Wine Mouse is equally adorable with its maroon floral elastic and super cute mouse on the heel. Neve loved pairing these boots with thick tights and dresses, but they also look great with leggings or skinning trousers.

The boots have gone down a HUGE hit in this house, Prices start at £42.99 and you can check out the full collection here.
