As Melbourne turns to chill it's time to start thinking about keeping those tootsies nice and toasty. Keeping style in mind always (what kind of wintry Melbournite would you be if you didn't) footwear must be practical yet chic, even in the coldest heart of winter. It's a conundrum of sorts, but Flocks Melbourne has solved the problem with their simple, stylish shoes that are not only nice and warm but are of exceptional quality. Mosh through puddles or head to a trendy bar for a mulled wine; Flocks' shoes are fitting of the most mundane to the most whimsical of winter situations.

Flocks' new collection, 'Common Trail', is made exclusively from locally sourced and natural materials. This gives the Flocks' product integrity, high quality, and endurance. The hiking inspired collection comes in muted autumnal tones including the Chestnut shaded Hiking Boot (with sheepskin lining, hand sewn upper and metal detailing); the unisex Lace-Up Bootie in Chestnut and Brown and the (also uni-sex) Gum-Bootie featuring a polished upper and soft suede. Fashion forward and easy to wear, the styles are best paired with skinny jeans, oversized woollen knit sweaters and pea coats for a very comfortable, romantic winter.
