For anyone who isn't a fan of the comeback kitten heel, you'll be relieved to know that the block heels you loved last year (and the year before that and the one before that) are still everyone's all-time favourite boots. While rival spindly heel styles are more along the lines of no pain, no gain, block-heel ankle boots are comfy enough to wear all day every day.
The sock-boot trend is also back, and everyone from Arket to Miu Miu has iterations this year. Sitting just above the ankle, they'll keep your silhouette sleek and streamlined, making them the perfect partner for wearing under midi dresses and jeans. Or if you want to elevate your classic jeans-and-sweater look with one key buy, it has to be a Cowboy boot.
Fun leopard print, bright colours and even glitter are updating ankle boots this season, so rest assured the block heel is anything but boring. Keep scrolling to shop our edit of the best block-heel ankle boots.
