Black is the boot colour that never dates. It reads as a neutral, so a pair of black boots works across seasons and pairs with almost everything already in your wardrobe, which is why it stays the first boot most people reach for.

The range runs from low, everyday black ankle boots to heeled, chunky lug-sole and knee-high shafts, in smooth black leather, suede and faux-leather finishes. Shorter styles slip under cropped denim; taller shafts hold their shape over skinny jeans or with a midi.

For the same silhouettes in a warmer tone, brown boots cover tan and chocolate leathers and suedes. Or browse the wider women's boots range to compare heights, heels and materials.
