Best Sock Boots

Strike A Pose Boots, Schuh

If there's one thing to know about me it's that I bloody love a good pair of boots and, in my humble opinion, there's no better way to get into the spirt of autumn than by starting from your ankles-up and picking your pair for the season.

Whether you're into trusty block-heeled styles or are bold enough to try this season's much-loved-much-hated sock boots (why they couldn't think of a better name for these is lost on me...) great pairs come in every colour, texture and height. And whilst boots are a year round staple of mine they become part of my daily uniform, from weekday to weekend. Day-to-night, you can mix it up with shapes of both toes and heels and details.

I may have, quite surprisingly, fallen hard for the sock boot and this pair from Schuh tick all the boxes for me. With a pointy toe and notably comfortable kitten heel the 'strike a pose' style is priced at just £50 and works as well with dresses as they do with jeans. Available in black, for those classic days where you want to keep it simple and chic and red, if you're looking to be bolder and brighter the style works so well with my winter wardrobe and it's certainly tempting to pick up all three pairs...

If sock boots aren't quite your cup of tea, no fear. I've compiled a little edit of the best boots from the hottest five trends this winter that you can shop and wear rn.
