24 winter boot picks for women, from knee-highs to ankle and cowboy styles

The Guardian has rounded up 24 favourite women’s boots for winter, covering styles from knee-highs to ankle and cowboy boots and options aimed at Great British weather.

The guide stresses that versatile, durable boots can elevate an outfit and that investing in quality matters: comfort, proper fit and durable material are key. It warns that width affects wear and comfort, and notes that leather requires care to keep boots looking their best.

Picks span price points and types: knee-highs such as Anthropologie’s Estellar (£180) and Anonymous Copenhagen’s Jasmina (£280) sit alongside cheaper options from Next (£68) and White Stuff (£130); cowboy-style boots including Mango (£89.99), Ariat (£160), Free People (£198) and Sézane (£260); ankle boots from Schuh (£50), Bobbies (£200), Miista (£280) and Vagabond (£145); weatherproof winter boots from Ugg (£145), Sorel (£116), Hunter (from £72) and M&S (£56); heeled choices from Bobbies (from £126.10), Arket (£229), Monsoon (£47.50) and Topshop (£63.75); and wide-fit options from Next (£59), Dune (£199), Clarks (from £56) and M&S (£52.80).

The piece offers practical care tips—stuffing knee-highs to keep their shape, polishing and shaping leather, and using a suede protector for suede—and points readers toward related shopping guides, including the best coats for winter and secondhand clothes and accessories.
