Unlike some, I'm very happy to embrace the advent of the cold season. A few months of chilly weather in exchange for brisk mornings, long evenings and twinkling cities sounds like a fair exchange to me. Of course, the onslaught of wetter, windier days does occasionally dampen my spirits. When all of a sudden the weather is at its foulest and your trusty trainers or sharpest loafers just won't cut it anymore, there's only one thing to be done: commence the hunt for the perfect spirit-lifting pair of winter boots.
As a fashion editor, I've done the rounds in search of practical, stylish and long-lasting boots, and I'm delighted to report that one of my favourite brands to meet these demands heralds from the great British high street. Marks & Spencer has long been loved for its extensive knitwear range comprising a great number of wool and cashmere items, but on this occasion, I'm honing in on its under-appreciated leather goods.

For a few years now I've been heading straight to M&S when in need of a new pair of boots. With a range encompassing trending kitten-heel boots, retro biker boots, sturdy Chelsea boots and this season's favourite, knee-high boots—its extensive range offers plenty of choice. Below, I've sifted through the M&S site to put together a list of the very best styles available to shop right now. Take the first step towards giving your feet a warm, comfy and stylish winter by shopping a new pair.
