Choosing the right footwear can be tricky, but these £60 M&S boots are problem solvers

Rain, wind, temperature drops – these high street boots will have you covered, while still ticking off one of this season’s biggest trends. 

It was such a warm summer that we all got used to throwing on sandals and flip-flops without a second thought. The lack of rain meant we could rely on toe-baring shoes, but with autumn in full swing, footwear choices are a bit trickier to navigate. While loafers are always a brilliant option – they’re smart and go with everything from baggy jeans to skirts – sometimes the forecast won’t allow it. Soggy feet isn’t an option, so it’s time to think about which boots to wear. Suede will get ruined as soon as you set foot outside, and spindly heels are a slip hazard, so what’s the answer to finding a pair of Goldilocks boots – ones that are just right? Meet the M&S cowboy boots you’ll want to wear all season. 

So what makes this pair of boots so good? They only have a 33mm heel, so they’re practically flat (perfect to walk around in all weather forecasts), the half zip makes them easy to put on when you’re in a rush, and the knee-high length will protect your legs from wind and rain. They also have quite a wide brim, so you’ll be able to add cosy socks or even tuck your jeans into them. Because if you’re interested in the fact they’re also an easy way to try out this season’s major Western trend – seen at the likes of Chloé and Stella McCartney – you’ll want to embrace the full rodeo aesthetic of these cowboy boots. The best part? They’re only £60, which is pretty good for a sleek pair of knee-high boots you’ll wear all season.
