THE ANKLE BOOT

vintage essential black heeled ankle boots on a white background

Boots that are made for walking, anywhere and everywhere are always a classic. From lace-up, to chelsea boots, slim and simple or masculine combat boots, Blundstones or Dr. Martens. Ankle Boots are as practical as they are timeless. 

We like 1990s for minimal, androgynous styles, but you’ll find plenty of options from the 1970s-1990s. Go back as far as Victorian or 19th century for elegant and feminine lace up styles.

Style notes: Quality and comfort are key, so stick with trusted shoe-making brands and Made in Italy or the U.S when possible.
