Most Wanted: Cole Haan Air Evan Short Boot

These slick Cole Haan short boots are the picture of utilitarian elegance. The lines are clean, the aesthetic is unfussy, and the material is waterproof: what more is required of a winter boot? Brass-ring-ornamented pull tags add a touch of interest to the silhouette, and concealed Nike Air Technology, padded leather lining, and a stretch side panel ensure a cozy fit. Understated, simple, and smart construction: the Air Evan is a winter essential. Priced at $248, available online and at Cole Haan boutiques.
