Each self-respecting woman of fashion has in her wardrobe winter boots with heels. Ankle boots are ankle boots or slightly higher with heels, stilettos or wedges. Such winter shoes look quite impressive and helps to create a very bright and beautiful image.
I must say that even ankle boots with fur are not a substitute for winter boots. Ankle boots are suitable for warm winter weather, but they do not save from the cold and strong wind.
Varieties of ankle boots for winter
There are several types of winter boots:
- high-heeled - suitable for festive events and for visiting the office;
- low-heeled - they are stable and comfortable, visually a bit like high boots;
- on a thick heel - regardless of the height of the heel, such a model is very convenient and stable due to the high level of adhesion to asphalt and other surfaces;
As a rule, thick heeled ankle boots have lacing and high soles.
- stilettos - suitable for attending a theater, opera or holiday party. This model is beautiful, but extremely impractical - because of the thin heel it is very difficult to maintain balance on a slippery, snowy road;
- on a wedge heel - such a model is more stable than a model even on a small heel. These ankle boots are ideal for long walks and daily routines, for wet weather and slush. In addition to practicality, the wedge heights also has a stylistic function - it helps to adjust the image to produce the desired effect;
- with fur - fur ankle boots can be both low heels and stiletto heels. There are also transformer ankle boots - fur trim can be folded in and out;
- from suede - stylish with low heels, thick soles or stiletto heels, the ankle boots create the perfect combination with evening dresses or a coat.
How to choose the right winter boots?
Ankle boots for the winter should be selected depending not only on the taste preferences of the girl, but also on the individual characteristics of the legs and feet. For girls with slim miniature legs, models with high heels or stilettos are perfect.
Models on a wedge and platform visually make the leg heavier, so girls with too thin or, conversely, too full legs should better not choose such shoes. Ankle boots of this type are more suitable for owners of medium-sized legs.
For a wide foot it is better to choose models with a thick heel.
For thin legs, an optimal model would be ankle boots with lacing that tightly wrap around the ankle. Lacing is also suitable for a full leg - it visually slenders the legs and emphasizes the advantages.
Also, you need to choose one or another model based on its purpose: on a wedge and on a platform - for every day, on a high heel or stilettos - for special occasions, on a thick or low heel - to work or to the store.
How to wear winter ankle boots?
Ankle boots for the winter season go well with skinny pants or jeans. The bottom of the leg can be tucked inside the shoe, or trousers or jeans will cover the upper part of the boot.
Since we are talking about the cold season, it is worth mentioning the insulated trousers - it is better to choose skinny models that can be tucked into shoes.
Skirts of any style and color are harmoniously combined with winter ankle boots. The main thing is that the skirt was consistent with outerwear. There is an interesting trend in the combination of ankle boots and skirts - the more massive the sole and the thicker the heel of the shoe, the more free should be the style of the skirt.
Ankle boots should be worn with tight tights of any color - the main thing is that the color of the tights is combined with either a shade of outerwear or shoes. Knitted leggings and knee socks are also a great option (in addition to tights or skinny jeans).
You can combine winter boots with leggings in the case of an ensemble with tunics, knitted dresses, a cardigan or a long voluminous sweater.
As for outerwear, it looks best with ankle boots with short fur coats, coats of any length, suede jackets, sheepskin coats, fur vests.
In addition, for each model of winter ankle boots, there are rules for combining clothes and accessories. Low boots with high heels are combined with:

Dark blue skinny jeans without pockets and embellishments are especially harmonious with red shoes.

You also need to remember about proper care for ankle boots. Depending on the material and type of shoes, appropriate creams, brushes, water-repellent products for shoes are used.
It must be remembered that drying wet shoes directly from the battery or heater is not worth it - as the natural material can be deformed and create an unpleasant look.
