The ankle boot might be less overtly provocative than the leg-lengthening thigh-high or over-the-knee style. But what it lacks in height, it makes up for in versatility; if there's one type of shoe you can wear from late August to mid-May, it's a pair of boots, we're prepared to bet. Like other wardrobe essentials, there are many options to sift through before settling on the ideal ones. So, in order to select the coolest pair, we polled passionate shoe aficionados about the brands they turn to. And to be sure we didn't overlook any remarkable shoes, we looked through our archives for more designs deserving of being called the greatest of the best.
