I have fallen in love with boots these days because of how practical they are for our current weather. Puddles, slippery surfaces, cold temperatures are a good reason to don some boots for a practical take on some statement shoes.
If you’re planning to add a few pairs to your arsenal or looking for a statement pair to trade in your open-toed heels for, look over at our picks from both the high-street and the luxury labels.
The big buckles and low heel of these Michael Kors boots (P7,586) make them a pair that’s easy to walk in the whole day. Good to wear with skinny jeans and a simple shirt.

Pointy shoes make you look taller so if you feel black chunky boots might overwhelm your petite frame, go for these Ankle boots from H&M (P1,990)
H&M. Available at SM Makati, SM Mega Fashion Hall, and SM Fairview. For a complete list of stores and more information, visit their website.
If you plan to take your boots to the great outdoors, invest in this pair of Serena boots (P7,595) from Dr. Martens.

If you want to achieve that model off-duty vibe, snag a pair of these Anouck Boot with Rose Gold Boots from Alexander Wang (P36,150). The detached boot and rose gold detail is something the people will even look at as you go by.

If you need some height but still want to be able to walk around easily, go for these Lug Sole Boots from Charles & Keith (P3,199).

If you’re a sucker for the androgynous look, these classic Chelsea Boots from Zalora (P999) is right up your alley. Best worn with a tough attitude.

Love them or hate them, the Rockstud design from Valentino is here to stay. But I think the way they add an edge to the thin heels found in the Rockstud Rolling Leather Boots make them great for a night out.

Can’t help but go through a downpour? You shouldn’t be worried when you wear these Melissa Soldier boots.
