Taking on the world, one stylish step at a time.

Kate Hudson has undeniably claimed her place as the reigning queen of rom-coms—just consider How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days as irrefutable evidence. So, when I had the opportunity to meet the actress at an event celebrating her wellness brand, Inbloom, I found myself in what some might call.

Seeing Hudson in person was a style moment in itself. She sported a chic plaid blazer with a button-front closure and a lapel collar. Her straight-leg pants elegantly matched a fluffy coat reminiscent of Almost Famous. Completing the ensemble were her Ray-Ban sunglasses and a vintage-like purse. Yet, it was her brown boots that truly caught my eye. The chunky sole and modern stacked heel instantly captured my attention. The versatile camel-colored suede upper only amplified my admiration, while the central zipper provided just the right touch of hardware. You can imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon these Michael Michael Kors Cyrus booties, perfectly encapsulating the essence of those boots. Similarly, Naturalizer’s Callie boots reflected the original footwear’s towering heel and soft hue.

During my search for similar styles, I discovered the key to emulating Hudson’s shoes lies in securing a pair with the game-changing lug-sole base. This ingenious detail, marked by ridges and grooves, not only offers better traction across various terrains but also makes walking in heels significantly more manageable. The thick sole provides excellent shock absorption, allowing for prolonged wear of Hudson-inspired shoes. What’s more, its edgy appearance effortlessly adds a touch of grunge to any outfit, effortlessly elevating your ensemble without appearing overly deliberate.

This practical yet stylish shoe complements thick winter coats perfectly—just take a cue from the Bride Wars actress. Styling the boot requires minimal effort. Pair them with sheer black tights, a mini skirt, and a chunky sweater for a chic look. Opt for a casual vibe by teaming them with jeans, a cozy sweatshirt, and a large puffer jacket. Alternatively, dress them up with a peacoat, cashmere scarf, and matching beret for an elegant touch.
