After the excitement of the festivities has faded, January can feel like a long, tough month. The post-Christmas pause hits hard, and Blue Monday, the day when the reality of the new year sets in, only adds to the gloom. With bleak weather, dark nights, and the end of festive fun, it’s easy to feel like there’s little to look forward to.
But it doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom. At Gabor, we believe in turning the January blues into something uplifting. This month, we’re embracing blue in style. We’ve picked our favourite, blue-toned trainers for January, designed to lift your spirits and put a skip in your step.
Whether you’re feeling the post-holiday fatigue or just need a little motivation to get through the month, we’ve got you covered. Below we have selected our favourite blue trainers to help you move with energy, elegance, and a renewed sense of self.
Let’s make the January blues a thing of the past, with some stylish footwear and a few wellbeing tips to ease you through the month.
The West
The West is here to help you rejuvenate, one step at a time. Its smooth suede and lasting leather mixed upper, combined with its retro style exterior, makes this trainer a must-have for a wardrobe refresh. The beautiful metallic striped detailing adds a touch of elegance, and the 2.5cm heel ensures a comfortable yet stylish lift, while the low rubber sole as reliability.
Wear them with jeans, dresses, or skirts, whatever helps you feel put together this month. The West is versatile enough to take you from day to night, making it a key piece to lift your spirits and get you moving.
Wellbeing tip: January is a time when we often lose track of our routines. It’s easy to let health priorities slip, but one thing you can focus on this January is your sleep. Try winding down without screens and giving yourself enough time to rest. When you feel refreshed, it’ll be easier to make plans and stay active, so when you do, step into the West for a boost of confidence.
The Lake
Introducing the Lake ankle boot in Atlantic suede, this sleek ankle boot combines a deep blue suede upper and zip detailing for a sophisticated take on a casual style. The upper, crafted from soft suede, adds just the right amount of cosiness to your look, perfect for this month.
What do we love most? The 3.5cm low heel and grey ribbed sole, which adds a little lift and comfort, is just what you need when January feels a little flat. With Best Fit technology and a removable insole for custom support, the Lake ankle boot feels as good as it looks.
Wellbeing tip: Don’t forget to permit yourself to have quiet, restful days. Even if it’s tempting to keep busy, downtime is essential. Take time to rediscover a hobby or enjoy simple pleasures, in comfort with the Lake boot.
The Ashby
Sometimes, the best way to beat the January blues is to slow down and take some time for yourself. The Ashby knee-high boot in Atlantic suede is the perfect choice for those days when you just need to relax. With its suede upper and zip detailing, it combines practicality and style in one comfortable package. The Best Fitting technology and 5cm heel provide ultimate comfort and support, so you can enjoy your downtime without sacrificing style.
Wear them with winter fabrics and make them your go-to for ultimate relaxed comfort.
Wellbeing tip: It’s normal to feel down in January, and it’s okay to take a step back. Let the Ashby knee-high boot be your treat this month, and use it as a reminder to socialise, even if it’s just for a quick coffee or a walk with friends.
The Jenna
When the January blues hit, a great pair of shoes can be just the motivation you need to get moving. Our team’s favourite for this month is the Jenna ankle boot. With its navy leather upper and ruched detailing at the front, this unique boot has a modern, expensive feel. The faux zip on its exterior adds visual depth to the already standout design.
The 5.5cm block heel means support and sophistication come hand in hand, ideal for everyday wear, pairing effortlessly with just about anything in your January wardrobe. The Jenna boot is the ideal choice for those days when you need a little boost.
Wellbeing tip: Getting outside and embrace nature. Whether it’s a country walk or a quick trip to the corner shop, spending time outside has been proven to boost serotonin levels – even when it’s cloudy.
