Boots are always high on everyone's must-buy list for winter. Whether they're searching for basic black boots or the snow variety, heels are usually not on the seasonal agenda. At least when it comes to someone's sensible side. Many are influenced by the runways, however, favoring sky-high, borderline stiletto silhouettes. But we're here to plead the case for switching to flat boots this season.
First up, fashion houses really do want you to scale down. Way down. Maison Margiela's now infamous Tabi collection features a flat ankle boot that's just as striking as those trending Mary Janes. The Row has basically been making a name for itself by focusing on flats. JW Anderson's Padlock Ankle Boots come in several stunning colors making heels unnecessary. Jonathan Anderson's other brand boasts a funky ankle boot that takes slouchy to whole new levels. And Rick Owens managed to combine sneakers and thigh-high boots into one package.
As you might expect, designer creations aren't the only way to go. If you're leaning more toward the snow boot category, Zara has you and your feet covered in a faux fur number. UGG actually comes in taller incarnations and its ultra tall pair is a good investment. See By Chloe's shearling-lined set is sure to keep all your toes toasty.
Then there are the failsafes. Clarks' classic Wallabees now come in fun colors. The stark white shade of The Attico's combat boots will add much-need oomph to all of your outfits. Hell, we even found a flat take on cowboy boots. Don't worry, they still fit into the Western wear genre.
Now it may take some time for you to get off your high horse and embrace heel-less footwear. (See what we did there?) So we'll wait a minute or two for you to kick off your heels, grab some coffee and relax. Ready? Then keep reading to see the top flat boots that are practically daring you to add them to your virtual shopping cart. Prices vary, but we're betting you'll be able to find at least one pair you can justify purchasing.
