Stylish & fashion forward women’s ankle boots and booties you need to know about
The best ankle boots, booties and women’s boots for 2024. Ankle boots in general are one of my favorite fashions I look forward to every Fall and Winter and they’re back in style for 2024. While they will always be a classic, last year they were out of fashion. This year ankle boots are back in style in full force as seen at Valentino’s Fall/Winter fashion show. They’re perfect for times when knee and thigh high don’t work so well e.g. under leather pants or with boot cut jeans. There are so many women’s ankle boots and best booties for women to choose from in the current 2024 ankle boots collections: Booties, open toe, stilettos, flats, lug sole, heeled ankle boots, metallics, black ankle boots for women, and I love them all! So I’ve rounded up the best of them from designer ankle boots to luxe for less styles.

These were the styles seen on the 2024 runways and most likely to lead the way trend wise. In between seasons and transitional styles can be tricky. That’s why I love ankle boots to get us through in between seasons. As they’re so much more versatile than knee or over the knee boots for transitional season outfits. As they can be worn from late Summer into Fall all through Winter into Spring.
Style them with dresses or jeans, denim or leather jackets. There are so many different styles for whatever your fashion vibe or mood is.

The list of 20 + best ankle boots 2024 from flats to heels. A break down of styles and my top picks in each category:

I kept seeing these black leather chunky ankle boots all over Instagram with everything from summer dresses with an oversized cardigan to sweater dresses or leggings. The chunky sole and combat boot trend is definitely continuing on in 2024.

I couldn’t resist adding the See By Chloe black leather ankle boots as the leather looks so luxe and for trending gold buckle details.

Best Designer Combat Boots Balmain
You can never go wrong with Balmain shoes and boots. Their gold B logo makes them instantly recognizable and adds a luxe touch to otherwise simple black lace up ankle boots.
Classic ankle boots style | Chelsea boots
The Chelsea boot will always be quintessentially English to me. I remember growing up in the country side in England and wearing flat Chelsea ankle boots with stirrup leggings to horse riding lessons.
Women’s Chelsea boots have come a long way since then and comes in different styles from classic to chunky soled to heeled. The beauty of these besides how comfortable they are is that they just pull on.
While classic Chelsea boots will always be in style, the most fashion forward to wear Chelsea boots in 2024 is with a chunky sole and in black, white or a bold color.
If you’re planning on walking and not just sitting pretty, these are one of your best options and are going to be one of key boot trends for Fall boots.
The Chelsea boot goes way back to the Victorian era and the design’s the invention of the C J. Sparkes-Hall, boot maker to Queen Victoria.
I remember wearing them horse riding back in the 90’s! They’ve been around for a century and their classic style is here to stay.
What are Chelsea boots
It’s the elastic sides. What gave them their name was back…
In the mid-1950s, a group…started frequenting the King’s Road area in West London. This group was named the ‘Chelsea Set’…they made the name ‘Chelsea’ synonymous with a new way of living and dressing…favoring the Paddock boots … the ultimate leisure accessory and hence were renamed to Chelsea Boots.

Best women’s flat ankle boots for walking, comfort & style | Winter snow boots
When my husband said I needed waterproof, warm, sensible snow boots for our winter travel I was thinking clunky, dorky and outdoorsy styles. I know it’s the smart thing but I wasn’t too keen on the idea. However, I now really love the winter snow boots I ended up with.
I wore these waterproof boots in the rain and snow and they kept my feet warm and dry. If you want extra warmth you can always pop on a pair of wool socks.

What are the best ankle boots to wear with dresses, skirts & shorts
I’m not sure if there is just one style of ankle boots or womens booties that’s ‘best’ for dresses or shorts! Pretty much any style of boots go with dresses depending on the look you’re going from. It’s such a versatile look you can put your own spin on from flirty and feminine to grungy biker chick.
Pick a style that expresses how you’re feeling and makes you feel good, there’s really no right or wrong.
Are Cowboy ankle boots in style 2024
Yes, they’re coming back. Cowboy boots and Western boots have started creeping back into runway shows such as Sass & Bide Australian Fashion Week Resort Collections, Chloe Womenswear Fall/Winter show, and Coperni Womenswear Spring/Summer, and are always a LTK blogger favorite.
They’re a classic you can always turn to so don’t worry about wearing them, even when they’re not a part of fashion shows.
The key to making cowboy boots work for you is finding a color, shape and material you love that you can wear every year. I’m never going to be the girl in the crocodile cowboy boots but cute white leather ankle cowboy boots and Paris Texas stiletto crocodile print boots I can get behind. Metallic western boots are also in style, so find a style that works best for you this Fall/Winter.
Cowboy boots look super cute with denim shorts on warmer days and with a knit dress and Lack of Color hat on cooler days. I’ve always wanted cowboy boots ever since coming to America but it took me until last year to find the perfect pair.
