1. Paige
"Paige makes what I'm convinced are the world's most comfortable boots. You only have to slip them on to immediately recognize the difference. I would walk miles in mine." — Kat Collings, editor in chief
"Right now, Paige is making probably the most comfortable (but still cool) ankle boots out there." — Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour, market editor
2. Jacquemus
"By Far is a newer brand, of course, but I've been very impressed with its boot selection from the start. Every style has special, of-the-moment details (like square toes), but they're subtle enough to not end up looking dated." — Payer
"Newer brands like By Far and others are designing the best boots in the business." — Kristin Nichols, managing editor
