Lace up boots close with front lacing over the instep, a detail that lets you tighten the fit around the ankle and open the shaft wider than a pull-on style. Most pairs run on a lug or block sole in black leather, canvas or suede, made for everyday wear through the cooler months.

Heights and weights vary. For a heavier, utilitarian look, compare them with combat boots and chunky boots, which share the same laced front on a chunkier sole.

For something lower, ankle boots sit at or just above the ankle and suit tucked-in denim or a midi. Lace up pairs work the same way: skinny or straight jeans threaded through, a knit dress with opaque tights, or tailored trousers skimming the top line.
