Nordic Lite: Australian-style boots and winter clogs

Nordic Lite brings together women's Australian-style boots, ankle boots and winter clogs by D.Franklin. Low and taller shafts sit alongside open-back shapes, with warm linings and uppers ranging from microfibre to nylon or leather, depending on the design.

If you like the enveloping shape of Australian-style boots, choose how much coverage you want around your foot and ankle. Clogs offer an open-back alternative, while closed boots cover more of the foot on colder days.

Choose your shape and fastening

A low shaft works with straight-leg trousers and leaves more of the ankle visible. Taller designs cover more of the leg, while lace-up styles let you adjust the fit across the instep. For easy dressing, compare slip-on shapes with open-back options.

Winter clogs pair an open heel with a warm interior. They suit relaxed outfits, but offer less coverage than closed ankle boots when temperatures drop.

Styling Nordic Lite textures

Sand, camel and chocolate shades work with denim, corduroy and knitwear. Black creates a simple base, while sherpa textures, metallic details or prints add contrast where available.

Try ankle boots with a trouser hem that shows the shaft, or wear clogs with socks and ankle-length trousers. Explore the Nordic collection to compare more heights and finishes within the family.

Details worth comparing

Construction varies between designs. Use these details to choose a pair for the way you dress and wear your footwear:

• Low shafts, taller boots or open heels offer different levels of coverage.
• Laces, slip-on shapes and zips on selected designs offer different ways to put them on.
• Microfibre, nylon, leather and fluffy textures vary by model; check the composition.
• Compare the tread and platform height listed for each sole.
• Selected styles have a water-repellent finish; this does not make them waterproof.

Finding your size and caring for the upper

Measure both feet and use the size guide for your chosen design. Allow for the socks you intend to wear: your foot should feel secure without pressure on your toes or instep. A fluffy lining alone is not a reason to size up.

Follow the care instructions for the upper material. Remove surface dirt gently, avoid soaking the footwear and let it dry away from direct heat. Check that a cleaning product suits the finish before using it on leather, microfibre or metallic details.
