A nice touch from M&S is the antibacterial Freshfeet padding which is there to make sure your feet stay fresh and odour-free.

With a chunky flatform sole and side zip for easy on and off, there's no wonder these boots have a 4.8/5 star rating on the site. Reviewers have left comments like: 'great value for the quality' and 'comfy all day.' We love these boots because of its comfort levels, with Insola Flex technology that ensures your feet are in the right position for all-day wear.

If you are facing forecasts of snow and ice, Hunter boots will lend you all the practically of wellies or snow boots without having to sacrifice your usual style. Whether you're on the school run, commuting to work or both of the above, these boots will ensure you don't turn up with soggy feet.

The Hunter Insulated Short Snow Boots are more than just your average boot, with features including a newly developed chunky rubber outsole, elasticated drawstring and toggle for a snug fit and recycled fleece lining. If you want a boot that not only looks great, but functions as a practical choice too, this is going to be the pair to invest in.

If the weather gets really harsh, you may want to consider going full snow bunny in a pair of Moon Boots. They'll keep your feet protected from hail storms, snow and anything else, plus they'll look chic over jeans with oversized knits when you're somewhere, well, less snowy.

These boots give us nostalgia galore, transporting us back to the 70s and 80s. With its chunky silhouette and eye popping colours (although we think they look best in a classic black), they're not just a boring pair of winter boots - they're a declaration of fun.

A Chelsea boot with an edge, the Jack is made from premium calf leather and is the perfect pairing for any city dweller. With its sleek design and rich, mocha-hued leather (it's worth noting they do come in other colours too, like black calf and cement calf), these winter beauties strike a balance between timeless elegance and contemporary edge.

The subtle (but robust) heel, with a height of 4.5cm, gives just the right amount of lift in our opinion - making them ideal for everything from casual brunches to evenings out. And let's face it: every wardrobe needs a pair of cool winter boots.

You obviously can't go wrong with an UGG boot and we love the Classic Mini. These stylish little numbers cut just above the ankle, making them the ideal companion for everything wide-leg. With its plush sheepskin lining and soft suede exterior, the UGG Ultra Mini Boot not only keeps your feet toasty, but elevates your laid-back aesthetic to new heights.

In fact, fashion commerce writer, Gemma Lavers, owns a pair of UGG Mini's and calls them a non-negotiable winter shoe. 'The colour 'antilope' is the most perfect UGG colour as it's not beige or tan, like the classic UGG colours, it's an almost browny-green shade. What I love most about UGG's is that you can just slip them on so easily with absolutely anything - they almost replace the hole left in my wardrobe from moving away from sandal-weather.'

Inspired by horse riding boots, these insulated, waterproof boots will see you through many a winter to come, and they look seriously stylish, too. A practical, knee high style, these boots are designed to complement an active life, and features a durable outsole. The thing we love most about these high boots is they have a DRYMax waterproof construction that's sure to keep your feet dry and cosy even in the wettest and coldest winters.

A cosy blend of fashion and function, the St. Moritz boots from Steve Madden are warm, comfortable to walk in and look great. The perfect cold-weather bootie, you'll find yourself slipping these on for every occasion. Similar to the UGG suede style but with a fuzzy exterior, these boots are made from leather and also come in an on-trend silver colour. To go all-out, style the St. Moritz boots with an oversized fur coat and simple black leggings - channelling your inner mob wife aesthetic.

You can't go wrong with a pair of Docs, and these fur-lined boots will make winter as cosy as can be. With easy on and off features, like the elasticised gusset, so you don't have to faff getting the boots on, and a chunky platform, these Docs are reminiscent of the original design. The thing we love most about these classic Docs is how comfort is prioritised. The boot itself is made from a sofa Pisa leather and has a richly pigmented waxy finish. On top of that the inside is just as soft - with faux fur and is built on the iconic air-cushioned sole.

Not only that but the boot has all the defining features you'd expect of a traditional Chelsea boot. Like the elastic detailing down the sides and black colour. The 2976 boots are clearly doing something right as they have over 300 reviews, with customers praising them for its style, fit and how comfortable they are from the first wear (which if you know other Dr Marten styles, can be quite the bugbear).

A classic silhouette with a contemporary edge, Russell & Bromley's Thelma boot is crafted in Spain from smooth black leather. These knee high boots combine the soft leather with a patent leather square toe cap for the perfect blend of luxe and trendy. Whether you're pairing them with a boho-inspired maxi dress (with Sienna Miller as your style inspiration) or sleek jeans, these boots will have you stepping out in style, from crisp city strolls to countryside escapes.

It can be difficult to shop for winter boots if you have wider calves, and, not all high street shops offer a simple solution. There are hundreds of boot styles available for those with your average sized calves, but not for those with wider calves.

When it comes to searching for wide-leg or wide-calf boots, the main style the Grazia team recommend to look for is knee-high or ankle boots. For an affordable wide boot, Zara has a leather pair that's great, super comfortable, and is under £90. Great features include side pull tabs for easy on and off and a rounded toe.

If you want a winter boots that's also on-trend, you're going to want a pair of Wallabee Boots in your life. Made in a buttery soft suede that, yes, might not be the most practical for rainy days, but will be so wearable in those crisp (but dry) days as we head into spring. Other details include flat lacing (of which each pair usually comes with two of), crepe sole and two 'fobs' (the labels seen on the shoe). Plus, the Wallabee Boots are now available in 10 different colours, including beige, blue and black.

Fashion commerce writer, Gemma Lavers can also vouch for the Wallabee style as she owns a pair and says: 'The Wallabies are ridiculously comfortable, versatile and hard-wearing. The suede exterior might not be the best for, let's say, navigating the snow, but as far as a fashionable pair of winter boots go, these are great.'

Miu Miu is perhaps responsible for the return of the chunky biker boot, after it debuted the style during its AW22 show. Fast-forward to now, the trend is till going strong with countless brands having hopped on the biker boot bandwagon, and high street hero M&S is here with a new iteration. Made from a smooth leather with buckle detailing, these boots have a truly authentic biker feel. On the inside there's also some great features, like the Insolia Flex technology that makes sure your feet are in the right position.

A brand that is probably reminiscent of the days shopping for school shoes in September, Clarks has a great selection of women's winter boots. And yes, the shoes as hard-wearing as the pair you used to wear to school - some things don't change. The Torhill Maple Ankle Boot features a thick ribbed sole so if you're after an extra chunky boot - this is the pair. Everything about this boot feels premium; on the outside the smooth leather gives it a luxe look, while on the interior, a Contour Cushion footbed gives ample padding to your feet.

What I love most about these boots is how practical and versatile they are. It's not often you come across a boot you can wear with a mini dress and leather jacket, and also with a thick puffer jacket and trousers.

For a boot that's as versatile as it is chic, look no further than the John Lewis Purdie Leather Ankle Boots. With its sleek, minimalist design, and zip-front detail, these black leather boots are great for those on a budget - as they come in at under £80. The chunky sole lends them an on-trend edge, while the polished finish keeps them sophisticated enough for both casual and smart affairs. Whether you're dressing them up with a tailored coat, or keeping it cool with denim, the Purdie boots are a must-have for AW.

The boots have many positive reviews, with individuals praising the style for elements like softness (no blister plasters required), value for money and sturdiness.

The ultimate cold-weather companion is these boots from Toteme. The brand has quickly become the favourite for fashion editor's, thanks to its refined and minimalist approach to everyday dressing. Toteme's designs are chic but understated (just take the viral scarf coat as an example), offering a wardrobe that transcends any trends and embraces versatility.

These grey fur-lined boots will be your new go-to for chilly autumn walks or après-ski chic. Crafted from buttery leather and lined with cosy faux fur, they offer an indulgent blend of warmth and luxury. Plus, the sole brings some of that signature Toteme aesthetic - cool with a Scandi edge.

There comes a time in AW when a pair of wellies is a non-negotiable, whether you're heading off to a festival or just a muddy walk. Luckily, wellies are pretty on-trend right now, with designers like JW Anderson and Jimmy Choo making high-fashion versions of the traditional rubber boot. We love this pair from Barbour, because, let's face it - the brand knows how to make great wellies. The Banbury Wellington Boots aren't just your average pair of wellies either, its a brand new length introduced by Barbour, that cuts mid-calf. Although they won't protect the tops of your jeans from mud and water, the style is available in four stunning colours; green, black, black/white and navy.

Leopard print is a trend that never really ebbs, which is why investing in a pair of leopard print walking boots is an absolutely fantastic idea. I've been eyeing up this Mountain Warehouse pair for a while now, and I'm not ashamed to admit that it's purely because of the leopard print detailing.

The Adventurer Boots have a faux suede upper that's waterproof (always handy) and have heel and toe bumpers, which again, means you can put away those blister plasters. Other great features include EVA footbeds for increased comfort, IsoDry technology and durable TPR rubber outsoles that are capable of tackling even the trickiest terrains.
