ARA is a German footwear brand with a primary focus on functionality, heritage, and trendy design for an ever-changing fashion industry. The company has been trusted by women for over six decades to deliver high quality shoe collections using fine materials and innovative factory techniques. It specializes in sporty elements such as technical fabrics, secure lacing systems, and sturdy soles to ensure longevity. We love this brand for its commitment to modern manufacturing and preserving family tradition. That’s why we at Hanig’s are excited to introduce you to two new fall/winter boots that are must-haves to add to your collection.

The Gaby and Luella boots are fresh and exciting silhouettes in a black stretchy microfiber suitable for your cold weather rotation. What sets these two styles apart are their seamless fusion of athleticism and femininity. Gaby is a chic ankle boot with minimalist detailing. It features an easy zip closure at the inset, a stacked block heel, and a treaded synthetic sole to prevent slips and falls. The sporty Luella bootie is elevated by a tapered platform in a contrast color, zips at the side, and is also fitted with a treaded sole. Both are cleverly designed with Gore-Tex technology and are highlighted by logo engraved hardware and elegant tonal stitching. The breathable construction is key for water-proof wear on wet days and for keeping your feet warm on others. The construction also lends itself to an incredibly light body that facilitates an ease while walking on almost any terrain.

Our new ARA Gaby and Luella boots pair well with your favorite items on reserve for frosty weather and add an athletic inspired stylishness to your closet. We love the Gaby ankle boot with a Fair Isle patterned sweater under a down-filled puffer vest and pointe knit pants for work. If you have some weekend shopping planned, we recommend opting for riding pants in a fall-inspired hue, a shearling fur trimmed coat in black, and a loose tunic shirt. Luella looks great teamed up with an on-trend pea coat in a bold, surprising color over tapered corduroy pants and topped with a turtleneck shirt in a neutral tone to pull it all together for a casual aesthetic. Play up the microfiber by selecting a melange of textures like a silk blouse, woolen bottoms, and a leather tote bag to make it even more interesting. From everyday casual and feminine to experimental and offbeat, whichever angle you choose, you’re sure to standout with these new shoe styles from ARA.
