Although fashion trends do come and go with seasons, booties are one footwear staple with staying power. Because booties are so versatile, they can be worn year-round with virtually any outfit. We've compiled a list of booties here for you, with options that work in just about any circumstance, so have a look to find the right pair for you.
Columbia Women’s Ice Maiden II Snow Boot
The warm and fuzzies
If wearing booties even in icy, cold weather is important to you, we’ve got the look with this snow-approved pair. Cozy, warm, and safe on slick sidewalks, this snow bootie is a must-have for those walking in colder climates. Featuring a lace-up front, faux-fur lined interior, and a chunky sole that provides superior grip, these booties are a must for anyone who wants to keep their style even in the cold.
Pros:
- Made of leather with a rubber sole, this bootie goes beyond a simple snow boot and makes itself stylish, too.
- We love the arch support, which helps to make this boot comfortable and supportive for longer strolls.
Cons:
- This bootie is meant for cold, wet weather, so it may not be a great option when temperatures rise.
BomKinta Women’s Snow Boots
Lined and low
Part bootie, part cold-weather sneaker, this snow boot is built for inclement weather with fashion in mind. Made with a thick polyurethane sole that defies slick city sidewalks, this bootie will comfortably get you from point A to B without cold feet, slips, or injuries. Waterproof and warm, these boots are ideal for a variety of cold-weather occasions, from walks to the office or outdoor playtime.
Pros:
- We love the variety of color options on these snow booties.
- We love the wide footbed and toe area. This makes this especially useful for those with wide feet.
Cons:
- Order up a half size if you like thicker socks, as the lining is a bit bulky.
Soda Glove Ankle Boot
A thick, chunky heel is making a serious comeback these days, and these booties certainly deliver. Carefully crafted from 100% suede, these buttery soft booties make a trendy fashion statement. Hitting at about mid-ankle, they’ll look great with jeans, office wear, or even a cute skirt. As with most booties, they’re versatile.
Pros:
- The chunky heel is combined with a half-inch platform, making these an on-trend bootie.
- Since these booties are a bit form-fitting to your feet, we love the loop on the back because it makes it easier to pull them on.
Cons:
- Sizing is a bit tricky, but it’s best to order up half a size and wear them with a thin sock.
LifeStride Women’s Adley Ankle Boot
Low riders
With a small stacked heel, tapered toe, and a strappy buckled look crisscrossing over the top, these low-rise ankle boots make a statement. And although these are simple, it’s the small details that make them a contender for dressing up jeans or pulling together an otherwise casual look. Made of durable synthetic materials, these are a great option for a vegan bootie.
Pros:
- We appreciate that these booties come in both medium and wide fit.
- The bottom outer sole may look thin, but there’s actually a fair amount of grip.
Cons:
- These do take a bit longer to break in, so we recommend wearing them around the house a bit for optimal comfort.
Coutgo Women’s Cut Out Ankle Boots
Best western
Adding a touch of western to the traditional bootie, these low-slung ankle booties feature a cut-out side, soft faux-suede upper, and a quality stacked footbed for comfort and fashion. Although the toe bed is a bit narrower, we love the overall look of these trendy booties for dressing up an otherwise casual look.
Pros:
- The versatility of these western-inspired booties is impressive. We could see these being paired with a dress or jeans, whether it’s at a black-tie event or a casual brunch.
- Although one side of these boots features a cut-out ankle, the support is still there.
Cons:
- The thinner toe bed, which is a staple in a western boot, may not be best for wider feet.
Our Tips and Tricks
For the most versatile style of booties, a flat-heeled bootie will go with a wider range of clothing styles than nearly any other style of bootie. But if you don’t have a flat bootie, no worries. When it comes to styling dresses, rolled jeans, leggings, or even shorts, booties of all styles will work. The trick is to find a few options to keep on rotation.
