What is it about ankle boots that makes them so perennially cool? We can’t put our finger on it (and perhaps that’s one of the reasons) but all we know is that whenever we wear them, our outfits instantly look edgier and chicer. It doesn’t matter if we’re dressing up or dressing down – ankle boots bring just the right amount of attitude, style and sauciness.
Not only that, but as we make our way into the colder and wetter months, ankle boots are also the most practical footwear choice. Just another reason to love them.
With that in mind, we’ve rounded up our favourite ankle boots from schuh’s latest collection that we can’t wait to wear into the new season, from chunky-soled everyday options to metallic gold party-perfect booties.
Bee: Party Perfect
Gold? Check. Metallic? Check. Chunky heel? Check. The ultimate party boots? Check, check, check! Sure, party season will be a bit different this year, but that doesn’t stop us wanting these Bee boots. With their rock-and-roll glamour, we’ll be wearing them to every party – even if those parties are online and in our living room…
Available in-store and online from 17th October
Bobby: Snakeskin Chic
When we said we don’t know what makes ankle boots cool, we were wrong – it’s snakeskin print. Combined with a chunky heel, square toe and shined leather finish, these Bobby boots pack as much sartorial bite as the reptile that they’re inspired by.
Arlo: Around the Croc
If you’re looking for an ankle boot that you can wear on the daily, look no further than the Arlo. The statement rubber sole definitely brings the practicality points, but that’s not why we love them. It’s the classic croc print in a shined finish that makes these boots so wearable and versatile.
Aria: Leather and Laces
Maybe it’s the lace-up fastening, the buckled strap or the thick rubber sole, but the Aria boots capture that coveted grungy vibe of the 90s. They strike the perfect balance between retro, rebel and reliable.
Anna: Cleats Please
These [Anna](https://protect-eu.mimecast.com/s/lijRCmZJOhL88LOtwiqMh?domain=schuh.co.ukuh.co.uk) boots make a bold sartorial statement. A simple upper sits on top of a thick rubber base with extreme cleat details. No matter what you’re wearing, these boots will lift your style credentials almost as high as their platform sole.
