This Ankle Boot Trend Will Be Everywhere Come Fall...but We’re Planning On Wearing It Now

Raise your hand if you’re so happy comfy footwear is trending *raises hand.* While we’ll be wearing dad sneaks and grandma shoes for the foreseeable future, we’re adding one of September’s biggest trends to the rotation: chunky sole boots. Yes, these ankle boots were technically spotted on the fall runways from cult-favorite labels like Gucci, Alexander McQueen and Tibi, but we’re making room for them on our spring shoe rack immediately. Who says we can’t wear them now with flirty dresses and later (when they’re nice and broken in) with cropped jeans and an oversize sweater? Here are eight pairs bound to become our favorite year-round shoes.

Wear these on rainy spring days.

Comfortable and fancy is our favorite combination of words.

Side cutouts make this pair very appropriate for spring.

Just as comfy as the traditional lace-up version, but in an easy pull-on style.

The classic combat style has been elevated with an extra edgy touch.

Linen and cotton uppers keep these breathable, while a lug sole makes them super walkable.

Part sneaker, part bootie, 100 percent on-trend.

We want to live in these from now until…forever?
