Ankle boots look great with all dresses, especially a long dress of maxi dress! I often think an ankle boot looks a little more relaxed than a knee-high boot with a dress, and they give you lots more options for styling, too. You just need to choose the right style for the length of your dress.

Made from various materials - including suede, leather, and faux leather - ankle boots come in closed- and open-toe styles and are often flat or low-heeled. Common ankle boot styles include Chelsea boots, platform boots, combat boots, and square-toe boots.

Booties are shorter in height and should ideally end right at your ankle, while ankle boots will end one to four inches above your ankle, like a Chelsea boot, combat boot, or work boot. Pretty simple, right? With this knowledge, you will easily be able to spot which short boots are booties and which are ankle boots.

Ankle boots were introduced in about 1804 as fashionable women's wear. The fashion for square toes lasted from 1825 to the 1870s. These boots are made for the left and right foot.

One of the major advantages of boots is their height and therefore the protection that they give to your ankles. This protection is in the form of support, and cushioning from impact. Support is useful because it helps to prevent you from turning an ankle, which could result in a sprain, strain or even a break.

High top sneakers are thought to give a lot more ankle support because they are laced up above the “ankle” bones. The foot and ankle complex functions together as a unit to move and support the body, and it has to be able to perform motions and movements in all directions and at all speeds.

Raw materials for the manufacture of high heels include plastic, leather, wood, fabric, animal hides, paper (for patterns and labels), and various cements and glues, depending on the component materials.

Thigh boots are made of materials such as leather, synthetic materials (including vinyl and sheet latex) or fabrics (including silk and polyester microfiber). Many are constructed with zippers, but some are designed as pull-on boots.

Protection: The number one reason people opt for a taller upper is to protect your ankles and shins from a variety of potential issues. Anything over an 8” top will give you more protection if you wear your boots in a forest environment.

Every type of top goes well with ankle boots, no matter which season. Some even like wearing them with shorts and tank tops in the summertime for a sort of western type of look. For this fall, you'll enjoy wearing them with turtlenecks, T-shirts, and chunky cropped sweaters and blazers.

Women had been wearing masculine-style boots for riding and driving during the eighteenth century, and by the 1790s their styles had become distinctly feminine with tight lacing, high heels, and pointed toes. By 1815 fashion periodicals begin to suggest boots for walking and daywear; boots were widespread by 1830.
