Slip them on and you’ve got that effortless California-girl vibe: ALO launches its first boot collection, Malibu Boot — how to choose between the 3 styles?
Casual, but so refined!
Summary
- ALO is launching its first boot collection, the Malibu Boot, fronted by supermodel Behati Prinsloo in a campaign that channels a laid-back California vibe.
- The entire line is crafted from soft suede with a wool-blend lining, set on platform wedge soles and finished with cushioned insoles for added comfort.
- Three styles are available: mid-calf boots, ankle boots and loafers with metal buckles, in classic fall/winter colors like Rich Chestnut, Espresso and Black.
The moment you step out of the yoga studio, all you want is to quickly change into a pair of shoes that are comfortable and look good. In the past, we’d reach for Recovery sneakers or slides, but ALO has a more appealing answer this time: the brand has officially launched its first boot collection, Malibu Boot, bringing the calm, laid-back feel of the California coast straight to footwear.

The campaign features supermodel Behati Prinsloo. In the images, she wears a yellow mini-skirt set with bike shorts, casually sitting on the back of a car in suede boots, perfectly capturing that effortless California-girl sense of style. The collection’s biggest draw is its exceptionally soft suede uppers, lined with a soft wool-blend fabric and finished with platform wedge soles and cushioned, responsive insoles. For slightly cooler weather, they feel thoughtful on the feet while giving the legs just the right amount of length.
How do you choose among the three styles? An elegant balance of wide boot openings and metal hardware
The Malibu Boot collection offers three distinct designs. The key Malibu Boot and Malibu Low Boot styles feature specially designed wide openings, making them easy to slip on and off after taking off your yoga pants post-workout or when you’re rushing out the door. The mid-calf style is especially flattering for the legs, while the low-cut version is more flexible and casual. Both styles come in three versatile, understated shades: Rich Chestnut, Espresso, and Black.
Beyond the boots, the collection also includes the unexpected Malibu Loafer. This loafer reworks the classic slip-on silhouette, with metal hardware on the upper creating a subtle contrast with its crisp, structured suede shape. It makes its debut in Rich Chestnut for the first release.
Not just for post-workout wear: From bare legs in late summer to layered looks in the depths of winter
Snow boots and suede boots from casual brands can often look bulky, but the Malibu Boot collection retains just the right amount of length and sleekness. As ALO Chief Merchant and Designer Abby Gordon puts it, the team wanted to incorporate the comfort and practical features people expect into footwear silhouettes for everyday life.
This collection completely breaks free from seasonal limits. When the weather is a little warmer, wear them with bare legs, paired with mini skirts, bike shorts, or shorts like Behati Prinsloo; in the depths of winter, wear them with loose jeans, cargo pants, or a long trench coat, and the suede texture will add dimension to your layered look.
