Winter is no match for Ara and its fleet of waterproof boots and shoes. Designed using an innovative Gore-Tex technology, their collections can be trusted to get you through even the toughest weather year after year with as little effort as possible. The patented technology is made possible using a membrane that contains pores smaller than water droplets. It cleverly combines durability and maximum breathability for guaranteed performance. We have relied on this protection to keep us dry and comfortable in even the coldest and wettest of climates as it is specifically engineered to encourage a wide range of outdoor activities and adverse weather conditions. And because of this, we’re thrilled to bring you two new weatherproof Ara styles to assist you with finding the adventurer in you!

Magaly and Pam are must-have styles to get you acquainted with the power of Gore-Tex’s water-resistant technology. Magaly is a cool ankle bootie in black suede, lined in a soft faux fur, and fashioned with a treaded rubber sole for expert traction for almost any surface. The cushioned footbed features built-in arch support that molds to the shape of your foot, providing stability through every step. The shaft and tongue are secured by front laces and can be rolled down for a totally different look. Even with a slight heel and stacked platform, Magaly still manages to be lightweight as you trudge through snow and wet earth, as well. Pam is a casual shoe bound to become your next staple. Slip into this everyday style constructed with an elasticized Gore-Tex upper for everyday wear in the winter. Pam is punctuated by crisscrossing stitches, fitted with a wedge heel, and stabilized by a treaded sole to prevent slipping and falling.

Dressing for winter is a breeze with Ara’s new Gore-Tex footwear, too. Wear Pam to the office in insulated dress pants, a checked blazer, and a button-down shirt. Fast-forward to dinner to close out the workweek with a fit-and-flare dress over a turtleneck top and knitted tights for a more playful look. Magaly is ideal for outdoor trekking during the weekend. Just pull it on with your favorite parka coat, a puffer vest for added warmth, straight-legged jeans, thick wool socks, and a cowl-neck sweater. Roll down the boot collar to switch up this style with a turtleneck sweater layered over a V-neck top and corduroy pants for a night of hot toddies with friends by the fireplace.
