Finding winter boots that feel comfortable, suit your wardrobe and work for everyday wear can take time. Vogue editors have tested options across a range of silhouettes and styles, sharing their personal picks and how they wear them.
For a heeled knee-high, lifestyle shopping editor Elly Leavitt highlights Staud’s Wally, which she says is comfortable for commuting and pairs well with mid-length skirts. Shopping market editor Minty Mellon favors Loeffler Randall’s flat Tilly knee-high, describing it as an everyday option that fits beneath or over jeans and has good traction.
Senior fashion editor Mai Morsch recommends a pointed ankle boot from Cos as a versatile choice with black trousers or jeans and a sweater. For a buckle-boot pick, fashion news writer Alexandra Hildreth describes ankle boots as a wardrobe staple she wears with both skirts and trousers.
Ciarra Lorren Zatorski, a fashion editor, praises Toteme’s croc-embossed boots for their elongated toe and rich texture, saying they sharpen a jeans-and-tee outfit. Irene Kim, editorial production manager at Vogue Runway, chooses Loeffler Randall’s Western-inspired suede ankle boots, citing their kitten heel as comfortable enough to wear throughout the day and evening.
For a more sculptural look, assistant fashion editor Megan Rodrigues recommends Le Monde Béryl’s glove boots, pairing them with distressed denim. Associate fashion editor Nicole Martini picks Khaite’s cowboy boots for their blend of vintage character and modern edge, styling them with sporty trousers and a plaid blazer.
Shopping market editor Andrea Zendejas rounds out the selection with flat animal-print boots from Herbert Levine, which she says can work from the office to evening. Her office combination includes a pony-hair skirt and a zip-up knit.
