Like all women's shoes, boots come in an infinite variety of heights. The extra-flat boots incorporate soles as thin as ballet flats. Small or medium heels are 2 to 5 cm high:these are the classic heels, the most common and the best suited to the back… as well as to extreme cold. In delicate version, they translate into kitten heels, very thin 3 cm heels with a retro look. High heels, on the other hand, include both stilettos and block heels. Finally, there are wedge soles, combining the height of heeled boots with the stability of flat boots!
To choose the perfect winter boots, first choose the heel that suits your size. Are you rather slender? Expand your silhouette with square-heeled boots, without too thick soles which would accentuate the delicacy of your legs to excess. If you are round, choose boots with high heels, at least 5 cm high, or square heels without a heavy sole. Avoid, on the other hand, kitten heels, these very thin ankle boots, only a few centimeters high! As for feminizing a silhouette that is too androgynous for your taste, choose boots with thin heels and round toes, adapting the height to your desires.
Since it is a question of choosing boots for winter, you might as well adapt the heel to the weather forecast! To begin with, leave aside the extra-flat soles in the event of a really cold winter:their thinness insulates badly from the frozen ground. Prefer thick soles, capable of forming a barrier between the gel and your feet. As for the heels, favor practicality rather than aesthetics when the snow and ice are coming in… Small 2 or 3 cm heels, wide, square and thick on leather boots, are perfectly suited. Also, prefer notched rather than smooth soles to avoid slipping! Can't do without high heels, even in the middle of winter? In this case, bet on wedge boots or square heels, which are more stable.
Boots for each style, heel for each occasion! If you are looking for dress shoes to wear in the evening, opt for elegant boots with thin heels and pointed toes, in a beautiful smooth or patent leather. And why not try open-toed boots? For a trendy evening, accompany them with a pencil skirt, for a formal evening, with a trouser suit. Are your dream boots casual, easy to wear and right on trend? Adopt the stars of winter with the timeless mid-heel biker shoes for a rock look. Try the famous Chelsea boots, flat or high, for a city silhouette, or bet on suede boots, flat and fringed, for a folk style. Not to mention the boots inspired by hiking shoes, with flat heels or wedge soles, lined and resistant... perfect for winter!
