As temperatures drop over the coming weeks towards winter, your wardrobe may need some warmer adjustments. If you’re on the hunt for a pair of boots that are a combination of being practical and stylish, the knee-high style retains its popularity year in, year out.
The Linzi Hallie Black PU Stretch High Leg Boots from Next are £50, and, as a fashion and shopping writer, I think they work as well for autumn walks as they would for evenings out because they can easily be dressed up or down.
There are PU and faux suede versions to choose from (though the faux suede version is slightly more expensive at £55), depending on your style. The flat design offers comfort, while the material contains stretch, so they mould to your legs for a close fit.
In fact, comfort is one of the main factors being celebrated by previous shoppers. Leaving a review on the Next website, one shopper said: ”Comfortable and very on trend…my daughter bought a pair too!” [SIC]
Another fan of the boots commented: ”Comfortable, stylish and not expensive.”
A third added: ”Amazing stylish boots, fit amazingly on the leg, will give a good stretch if needed, I have slim legs and boots normally go baggy on me, [so] these are a perfect fit! I love them.” [SIC]
Next’s description reads: ”Our Best-Selling Hallie High Leg Boot is back. It’s stretch faux suede seamlessly shapes your leg, ensuring a flawless fit every time. With a sturdy chunky sole and a cushioned padded in-sock, this boot offers unbeatable comfort for all-day wearability.”
However, one shopper didn’t rate the comfort of the boots, saying: ”The shoe is beautifully made and I like the material. It is soft and smooth. I like the chunky sole, good for slippery and icy ground.
“I am petite and yet it fits nicely on me. The only issue [is] I have is the insole, my feet [do] not sit comfortably on the edges of the shoe. I wear thin socks and yet I feel like my toes are pressed together hence I can only wear it to work and not for window shopping. I do feel pain on the ball of my feet when I walk too long.” [SIC]
