Ankle Boots, Explained
Ankle boots stop at or just above the ankle bone, which makes them the easiest boot to wear with almost anything in your closet. They are short enough for cropped jeans and dresses, and sturdy enough for errands and commutes. We carry more than 130 pairs of ankle booties for women, from flat lace ups to point toe heels, priced from $28.95 to $161.95, with most pairs under $50.
Styles in the Collection
- Block heel booties: round, square and pointed toes, many with side zips or buckle straps.
- Wedge ankle boots: slip on and tassel styles that add height on a steadier base.
- Lace up and combat looks: flat lace ups, studded pairs, lug soles and buckle strap platforms.
- Chelsea style: pull on boots with elastic side panels, the shape behind the classic Chelsea boot.
- Cozy pairs: plush lined, fur lined and fuzzy trim boots for cold days. More in cozy.
- Western and printed: embroidered western booties, floral prints, leopard print and croc texture. See western and animal print.
- Sock boots: a stretchy square toe sock bootie on a block heel.
How to Choose a Heel and Fit
Think about how long you will be standing. Flats, lug soles and wedges are the comfortable everyday picks, a mid heel or low block heel suits work, and high heel point toe pairs are for shorter evenings out. Your heel should sit snug without lifting as you walk, and your toes should not touch the front. Lined and fuzzy pairs feel closer once socks are on, so allow for the socks you will actually wear. Each product page lists the details for that pair, and our size guide covers size conversions.
When They Work Best
Ankle boots carry you from the first cool days of fall into spring. Choose black ankle boots if you want one pair for everything, then add a print or embroidered pair for days when the rest of your outfit is simple. Booties with elastic panels or side zips are handy on rushed mornings and travel days, and fur lined styles earn their keep once the temperature drops.
How to Style Ankle Boots
- With cropped or straight leg jeans, hemmed so a sliver of ankle or sock shows.
- With flare jeans worn over a heeled bootie for a longer leg line.
- Under a midi dress or skirt; a slim block heel keeps the look light.
- With tights and a mini dress in winter, matching tights to boots to lengthen the leg.
- Lug sole and combat pairs with an oversized sweater and leggings.
Caring for Your Boots
Wipe off dirt and road salt after wear and let wet boots dry naturally, stuffed with paper to hold their shape. Use a soft brush on suede and fuzzy trims, and a damp cloth on PU leather and croc texture finishes. Rotate pairs when you can so linings and soles get a rest between wears.
