A good pair of Jayne-Says ankle boots can take you a long way. They can be worn in spring and fall, at work, country line dancing or even a girls night.
There are a few tips you should keep in mind before you buy your first pair. These include: Material, Style, Heel and Sizing.
Material
The material used in the construction of ankle boots can have a significant impact on their comfort. For example, if you are planning to wear your boots all day long, consider choosing ones with sufficient arch support and padding to reduce foot fatigue. Other important features to look for include heel height and style, which will determine how much they are likely to affect your posture and stride.
If you are planning to wear your ankle boots with pants, be sure that the hem of the pants will not catch on the top of your shoes. Skinny jeans and trousers work well with ankle boots, but be careful not to go too short – this can lead to unintentional cuff bunching. Wider-leg pants and pants that skim the floor work well, too.
If you’re planning to use your ankle boots for rainy weather, consider getting a pair that is waterproof or water-resistant. Most waterproof ankle boots will have a special coating to keep your feet dry, and they should be easy to maintain with regular application of shoe care spray. The same goes for water-resistant booties. However, some brands may choose not to coat their footwear with a water-resistant material, so make sure to check the label before making a purchase.
Style
Ankle boots can be a great way to keep your legs warm this season. They are also an excellent choice for pairing with jeans. You can cuff your jeans to create a stylish look that shows off the top of the boot. Or, you can opt for a pair of straight-crop jeans that will fit nicely over the top of your boots.
You can also choose a pair of Jayne-Says ankle boots that have a pointed toe to make them stand out. Pointed toes were seen on the runways at The Row, Y/Project, and Tom Ford this season. You can also add a pop of colour to your outfit by choosing a pair of boots in a bright shade like orange or red. Just remember to keep the rest of your outfit neutral so that your boots can really stand out.
Comfort is important when it comes to boots, especially since you will be wearing them for extended periods. Make sure that the ankle boots you buy have adequate cushioning and a firm fit around your feet. If you have wider calves, look for pairs that will fit comfortably without needing to be broken in. A pair of recycled rubber boots from Ganni, which were recently spotted on the feet of Taylor Tomasi Hill and fashion content creator Tilly Macalister-Smith of The Strategist, are a good option for wider calves, as they are flexible and don’t require any breaking in.
Heel
Ankle boots are a fall and spring favourite for a reason: they go with so many outfits, whether you’re heading out on a stroll through crunchy leaves or into the office for a busy day. But it’s not enough to grab any pair of boots, especially if you want yours to be comfortable. A few considerations can make your boots the perfect shoe for walking all day.
When looking for an ankle boot, look for a heel with plenty of cushioning and support. A sturdy heel is critical to reduce shock and provide a smooth stride, which in turn can help prevent fatigue. The height of the heel should also be considered, with lower heels a good choice for everyday wear. Finally, choose a boot with a roomy toe box that can comfortably accommodate your toes.
Sizing
While it is important to consider how the boots look when choosing them, they should also feel comfortable. You want to be able to move your foot freely and have at least a thumbnail’s worth of space between the front edge of the boot and your longest toe. It will ensure there’s no pinching or rubbing of the skin, which can lead to blisters or Morton’s neuroma.
The fit of your boots is affected by the way your feet swell throughout the day. It would be best if you always tried them on in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest. If you try them on in the morning and have a lot of slippage at the heel, it is probably because your shoes are too narrow.
If you need arch support, you should bring an orthotic with you to the store to test how well it fits in the boot. Generally, the orthotic should fit into the boot with no more than a finger’s width of space left between it and the back of the boot.
Another way to check the size of your Jayne-Says ankle boots is by standing up while wearing them and pushing your foot forward against them. If you can’t fit a finger behind your heel, the boots are too tight and are likely to rub and cause blisters.
