If Chic Knee-High Boots Are Your Thing, This Perfect Pair Would Be My Top Recommendation

With autumn underway and winter closing in, boots have become the shoes I rely on most. My black croc pair has been loved and worn on repeat for almost a decade, and after years of duty I’ve been searching for something a little more understated in the form of a classic pair of black knee-high boots. Naturally, I set to work researching the very best pairs around, getting insights from other editors on their personal recommendations and exploring styles that I know our readers have snapped up year after year. The one pair that came out as the very best around are the Staud Wally Boots.

Where ankle boots are ideal for styling with jeans or trousers, I find they hit me at the wrong place when paired with a skirt or dress. But knee-high boots, now that’s a do-it-all pair. Whether you’re looking for an elegant toe to peek out below tailored trousers, wafting around in a midi dress or taking your favourite mini skirt out on the town, knee-high styles can rise to any and all occasion. But it’s not just the height of Staud’s Wally boots that makes them so covetable, there’s so much more.
