There's something almost magical about ankle boots. They're put together without being too fussy, and the right pair can bestow a little added support and lift. Thankfully, we're seeing more thoughtful features like cushioned footbeds, arch support, soft interior lining, and sturdy soles for traction. Durable materials and a generous fit also contribute to the walkability factor. If you're looking for a little lift, don’t worry—height doesn’t mean pain anymore! Block heels are ideal for a long day of being on your feet. Comfortable heel and platform bootie styles with the aforementioned technology exist, too.
The best part? Ankle boots effortlessly pair with almost any outfit. Need something to go with your new high-waisted pants? Check. Perhaps you're more of a skirt person. Also fine. You can, of course, always style them with your favorite jeans as well.
