We’ve never met a boot we didn’t like. No matter the shape, heel, height or hue, the shoe staple’s style-longevity is unparalleled.
Taking us from season to season, with the ability to be paired back with everything from jeans and trousers to mini skirts and maxi dresses, a great pair of boots continually prove to be a worthy investment.
After seasons spent trudging through winter in chunky, lug-sole boots, the style set is moving away from the silhouette gravitating instead toward biker shapes.
If the biker boot isn’t for you, western and cowboy boots are still on the rise, particularly in the wake of Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter album release.
Below, we round up the best boot styles to shop this winter season, and year-round for that matter.
