Ganni boots bring Danish weather sense to a loud silhouette, from cleated Chelsea styles to embroidered western pairs and leopard-print rain boots.
Ganni Boots Are Danish Practicality With A Loud Streak
The cleated Chelsea is the brand's actual bestseller for a reason
A Chelsea boot is an elegant shape with a terrible sole for wet pavement, and the cleated version fixes that without losing the line. Ganni boots solve this three times over with the Cleated Low Chelsea Boots in Brown, the Cleated Mid Chelsea Boots in Black and the Cleated High Chelsea Boots in Black, which is the same idea at three shaft heights. That laddering is the tell of a shoe the brand knows works, because you do not build out three heights of something that is not selling. The low version works under a wide trouser and the high version needs a skirt or a tucked jean. The cleat is doing real grip work rather than decorative bulk.
Western and rain boots cover the two extremes
Away from the Chelsea the range splits into style and weather. The Mid Shaft Embroidered Western Boots in Black and the Low Shaft Embroidered Western Boots take the cowboy silhouette and add the embroidery that keeps it from reading as a costume. The Downpour Tall Boots in Leopard and in Green are explicitly rain boots, and putting leopard on a wellington is the most Ganni decision in this entire list. The Balmoral Ankle Boots in Leopard bring the print onto a more conventional shape. Between a cleated Chelsea, a western and a printed wellington you have a fairly complete picture of how the label thinks about footwear.
Our honest take
This is a footwear range that has clearly been tested in bad weather, which cannot be said of most labels at this level. The cleated Chelsea in mid height is the most useful thing here and the reason most people learn the brand. The Downpour rain boots are genuinely good and the leopard version is the only wellington anyone will compliment. The western boots are the most fashion-dependent purchase in the group and will cycle in and out. The Balmoral is the quietest and the easiest to wear daily. If you take one thing away, it is that the cleated sole is the actual product here, and the print is how the brand makes a sensible shoe feel like a choice.
