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.
I look to the 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.
