Autumn Colours With Vionic Mystic Maple boots

Seated outdoor shot of Is This Mutton blogger Gail Hanlon in striped orange and green jumper with Vionic Mystic Maple brown boots
It's a great time to take photos when the trees are changing colour and the light is still good. Our Virginia creeper is almost in all its red glory: I will give it a couple of days before I pose outside the garage where it's best.  It seemed appropriate to wear autumnal colours to show off my new Vionic Mystic Maple ankle boots (gifted).
Vionic have nailed it in terms of both style and comfort.  The boots are the lovely warm, burnished colour of conkers and have a striking woollen inset.  Inside the boots there's the usual Vionic foot bed designed to make these boots amazingly comfortable, and some fleecy inserts for extra warmth. They would be perfect for walking through leaves (as one usage model).

I'm wearing the boots with a cosy jumper from TU at Sainsbury's (last winter) and old khaki trousers, plus a wide brown belt.  Wide belts, corset belts and thin belts worn in multiples, are all the rage for AW which is good news for belt lovers.

High Octane Glamour at the Vionic AW Runway Show in London

Innovative shoe brand Vionic first ran a runway show to show off the new season's styles a year ago, and since then the event has got bigger and bigger. This year it moved to BAFTA in London and the champagne was flowing. It was great to see blogger friends Jacqui from Mummabstylish and Michelle from Fifty and Fab and to meet up with some new faces.

Vionic Kaitlyn Wedges

Is This Mutton, the style blog for the over 50s, puts a pair of Vionic Kaitlyn wedge sandals through their paces. These sandals, in cool pewter leather, have special foot bed technology to make them as comfortable as they are fashionable

Sliding my feet into these sandals, I immediately felt I was walking on air. Spongy and supportive, these wedges are from Vionic who create very fashionable footwear with special foot bed technology for comfort.

I've styled them two ways:  a casual look with white jeans and a work wear look with black culottes.

The first look features the Pepe Patsy jeans which I featured here and a fun T-shirt. My blue sequin straw bag, which I'll be taking on holiday, is a few years old.

In the work wear version, I'm wearing the smart black cropped trousers from Hope that I last featured here. The short sleeved knit top is another brilliant work wear piece, the sort I will wear all year long.

Regular readers will have seen me feature Vionic's shoes before, here and here. Their footwear is now very fashion forward, under new leadership, but still has the same technology.  It's something called biomechanics, the science of the way we move. Experts in foot and body movement took their studies and created Vio‑Motion Support. Each Vionic shoe conceals this biomechanical technology under your foot to hug your arches like a natural footprint.

I will be confident enough to take the sandals  on holiday without breaking them in:  there's nothing to rub or chafe, and walking in them is very easy because of the wedge style. An excellent addition to my wardrobe!

Dance your way through summer with Vionic Ainsleigh wedges

Dance and walk in comfort all summer with Vionic's Ainsleigh wedge sandals. Is This Mutton wears them with an elegant tangerine dress from Lavish Alice.

Summer presents us with all sorts of shoe challenges ---- how do we stay comfortable at a wedding, for example, where we might be on our feet all day and night? The answer my friends is Vionic Shoes.
