Loved by style icon Chloë Sevigny, ECCO’s latest boot drop proves you don’t have to compromise on cool, for comfort.

If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll have noticed ECCO quietly cementing its status as a go-to for the new wave of fashion insiders. Known globally for their commitment to comfort and craftsmanship, the Danish footwear brand has been seen on the likes of Chloë Sevigny, Natacha Ramsay-Levi, Poppy Delevingne, and Maddie Ziegler — a group of women who aren’t just the epitome of style, but are known for their discerning taste. 

This season, ECCO’s Autumn/Winter 2025 boots collection takes everything we love about the brand — minimal silhouettes, premium leather, and ergonomic support — and steps it up. Quite literally. The standout style of the season is the ECCO Sculpted LX Boot — refreshingly available in two heel heights (35mm and 55mm) and a range of finishes from a sleek black croc (which we adore!) to warm mocha, bronze, and a buttery limestone. Think of these as the ultimate desk-to-dinner boots. With a strong architectural silhouette and built-in comfort, they bring structure and style in equal measure.

If you’re after something a little tougher, the Track 30 Boot channels utilitarian energy with just the right amount of edge. Available in rich tones like fig and gravel, they pair perfectly with oversized coats, soft tailoring, or your favourite denim. Meanwhile, the Metropole Amsterdam Boot offers the classic knee-high boot, making it a subtle but strong addition to your winter wardrobe.

So what makes each pair of ECCO boots stand out from all the other offerings on the market? Well, each pair is crafted from premium leathers, with a breathable leather and textile lining that makes them as cosy as they are durable. And with ECCO’s FLUIDFORM™ technology (lightweight fluid materials that transform into soft solid soles) these are boots that not only look good but feel like you could wear them all day — because, well, you really can.

In a season where fast fashion is out and timeless utility is in, ECCO proves that you don’t need to compromise. Their boots are made to be lived in, styled up, and worn on repeat for seasons to come. So whether you’re heading to work, or a night out, these are the boots you should have on high rotation.
