If there is a heel, it is short and chunky. This season, the most popular styles are a Chelsea boot or a dessert boot which are a more casual style boot. You can also try waterproof boots styled in rubber or leather. Or a more comfortable ankle boot style in a brown suede or a Chelsea boot, or a faux dessert leather boot that is comfortable and versatile.
