It’s time to trade in your worn-out sneakers for a pair of warm boots when sweater weather approaches.

Here are our top picks (fresh update for 10th November 2025):

Our Review

Black Alice is the everyday flat boot I reach for, since the 4cm heel and soft calf leather are easy with jeans, trousers or a skirt. The back zip makes it simple to get on, and the extra wide toe box gives my bunion room rather than pressing it. The arch-supported cushioned insole means I can wear it all day. It is the go-to boot I pull on without thinking. Fits EE-EEE, true to size.

Pros

• 4cm block heel gives lift without strain through the forefoot
• Back zip eases entry over a wider foot
• EEE width cap accommodates the bunion joint
• Calf's leather upper softens to the shape of the foot over wear

Cons

• Leather uppers benefit from regular conditioning and weatherproofing through wet UK winters
• Back zip is the only adjustment so calf width is fixed
• 4cm heel is not flat so will not suit anyone needing a fully flat boot

Our Review

Black Abbie is my winter boot, the one I pull on for cold, wet days because the faux-fur interior keeps my feet warm and the chunky 4.5cm sole keeps me off the cold ground. The flat, wide EEE fit gives my bunion room with a thick sock, and the cushioned arch-supported insole means I can walk in them all day. The black nubuck goes with jeans and a winter coat. Fits EEE, true to size.

Pros

• EEE width fitting accommodates wider feet than most boots on the market
• Faux-fur lining adds insulation through winter
• 4.5cm chunky outsole raises the foot off cold pavement
• Nubuck has a soft brushed surface that hides minor scuffs

Cons

• Nubuck absorbs water and needs weatherproofing before wet wear
• Faux-fur lining runs warm so less practical for indoor office days
• Chunky outsole adds weight to each step

Our Review

Black Maya is the ankle boot I wear day-to-night, since the smooth leather and gold chain detail give it a bit of edge over a plain boot. The mid-heel is dressier than a flat ankle boot but still walkable, and the hidden stretch panels give over my bunion. I like that the ankle and shaft are measured, 28cm and 16cm, so I knew it would fit before ordering. It goes with trousers or a midi skirt. Fits EE, true to size.

Pros

• Hidden stretch panel over the bunion area flexes with the joint
• 16cm shaft sits at the ankle without pressing on the calf
• Gold chain detail across the vamp lifts the boot for evening wear
• Black leather pairs across the wardrobe

Cons

• Fixed 28cm ankle circumference suits standard ankles only
• EE width cap rules out EEE feet
• Smooth leather shows scuffs at the toe with daily wear

Our Review

Rust Abbie is the winter boot I reach for in autumn, since the warm rust nubuck pairs with browns, cream and denim. The faux-fur interior keeps my feet warm and the chunky 4.5cm sole keeps me steady on wet ground. The wide EEE fit gives my bunion room with a thicker sock, and the cushioned arch-supported insole carries a cold day. It adds a bit of colour to a winter outfit. Fits EEE, true to size.

Pros

• Rust nubuck pairs with autumn and winter colour palettes that black boots compete with
• EEE width fitting suits wider feet
• Faux-fur lining for cold-weather wear
• 4.5cm sole raises the foot off cold and wet ground

Cons

• Nubuck soaks up water and rain marks need weatherproofing first
• Rust colour shows salt staining in winter
• Chunky construction adds weight to each step

Our Review

Cherry Bella is the knee-high I wear when I want a knee-high boot in a colour, since the deep red stands out against grey or black and a midi skirt. The 2cm heel makes it an all-day boot, and the 38cm leg circumference and EEE forefoot meant I could trust the fit on my calf and my bunion. The inside zip makes it easy to pull on. Fits up to EEE, true to size.

Pros

• 2cm heel keeps the foot close to flat for walking days
• Inside zip makes entry quicker than a pull-on
• 38cm leg circumference accommodates fuller calves
• Fits EEE width feet

Cons

• Cherry red is harder to match across a wardrobe than a neutral tone
• 38cm circumference may sit loose on slimmer calves
• Leather will scuff if caught against curbs or chairs

Maisie - Cherry Suede Boots

Origin	Handcrafted in Porto, Portugal. Designed in the UK
Style	Kitten heel ankle boot with wraparound detail
Material	Cherry suede upper, lamb leather lining

Our Review

Cherry suede Maisie is the boot I wear when I want a hit of colour in autumn, since the deep red lifts black or grey tailoring and denim. The 4cm heel and wraparound detail keep it dressy, and the soft suede gives gently over my bunion. It is the same comfortable Maisie, just in a colour that gets noticed. It may not suit a high instep, so worth checking. Fits up to EEE, true to size.

Pros

• Soft suede wraps over the bunion area without rigid pressure
• 4cm kitten heel adds a small lift while keeping a wider base
• Wraparound detail at the ankle holds the foot in place
• Cherry colourway lifts a neutral autumn outfit

Cons

• Not suitable for feet with a high instep
• Suede upper needs weatherproofing and shows water marks
• Cherry tone is harder to colour-match across the wardrobe than black or brown

Our Review

Navy tweed Maya is the boot I wear through autumn, since the textured tweed feels seasonal and pairs with opaque tights and a midi skirt. The softly rounded toe gives my toes room and the stretch lining gives over my bunion. The mid-heel is dressy but walkable, and the measured ankle and shaft meant a confident fit. It adds a finish to tailored trousers for work. Fits EE, true to size.

Pros

• Hidden stretch panel over the bunion area flexes with the joint
• Rounded toe box leaves room for the forefoot
• 16cm shaft sits at the ankle without pressing on the calf
• Navy tweed pairs across smart and casual outfits

Cons

• Tweed upper is harder to wipe clean than smooth leather
• Fixed 28cm ankle circumference suits standard ankles only

Test and Evaluate Before You Buy

A quick fitting session may not be enough to identify the best choice. Use these techniques to determine whether your footwear offers adequate support:

1. Walk and Pivot: Mimic daily activities like walking, standing, and turning to identify potential discomfort or instability.
2. Press Test: Push down on the arch area inside the shoe. A well-made pair should resist flattening, indicating strong arch support.
3. Heel Stability: Stand on your toes briefly. Supportive designs will keep your heel secure without slipping or wobbling.

Some stores offer trial periods or return guarantees, allowing you to test footwear in real-world scenarios.

Prevention

This is how you can prevent heel pain:

• Wear shoes when walking on hard surfaces
• Invest in quality footwear – wear shoes that cushion and support your foot. They should ideally feature a small heel to help relieve pressure on the heel and arches
• Replace sports shoes on a regular basis – especially if you engage in activities like running that put additional strain on your feet
• Keep a healthy weight because being overweight can strain the heel and cause pain
• Pay attention to your body; if exercising causes heel pain, take a break until your foot feels better before continuing the same exercise program. Ensure you stretch after exercising as well.
