Sock boots sit close to the leg, knitted or stretch-panelled so the shaft hugs the ankle and lower calf with no gape. That fit is what sets them apart from a structured ankle boot, and it makes them easy to tuck denim into or pair with a midi.

The range runs from flat everyday pairs to block and stiletto heels for evening. Black leads, alongside muted neutrals that carry from work to weekend. For a heavier look, compare them with chunky boots and combat boots.

Styling is straightforward: skinny or straight denim tucked in, tailored trousers skimming the top line, or a knit dress with opaque tights through the cooler months. Browse the full women's boots range to see the sock boot alongside the season's other shapes.
