It's been a few years since I had a more "dressy" type of ankle boot - finding that they just weren't that great for winter because they didn't keep my feet warm enough, were too slippery out on the sidewalk or in slushy parking lots, and weren't all that comfy anyway. Luckily my Sorel flat and wedge selections covered all of that plus being waterproof, and they could mostly dress up as much as I wanted/needed them to. But then I noticed that this year Madewell has re-booted (pun intended?) their leather heeled ankle boot that I loved for the looks but got rid of because of the above...
This time around they've got a lug sole, which helps with grip and also with warmth, keeping the cold from the pavement from seeping in a bit. And their insoles are way more comfortable now too.
I'm feeling quite pleased with having boots in this style back in my closet for how they make me feel a bit more polished than the excellent but undeniably sportier Sorels. It's just jeans and a sweater (in the henley style that is 100% my thing right now whether in t-shirt or sweater form thanks to this season of nursing), but with these boots it's an outfit, right? Not entirely sure why I am looking for this when it's still quarentimes here and I don't really need to dress up... but I like this updated boots situation anyway.
