The Best Investment Boots for 2022 – Our Top Picks

A good pair of investment boots are the ultimate winter wardrobe companion. When the summer starts to fade, you want to be able to reach for your trusty, favourite boots. They need to look great and feel great, year in, year out. Sometimes it pays to spend a little more and there are some key features you should look for to make the right choice.

Buying Investment Boots – how to get the basics right

High-quality boots, when looked after properly, will look and feel better for longer. Leather uppers are a must-have since they are easy to care for and generally signpost a higher-quality brand. Leather is a natural material, which will gently adapt to the shape of your feet for the best comfort. Paying that little bit more for a quality leather construction can really pay off, with extra comfort and lasting visual impact. Remember to ask about how to look after your boots when you buy them and make sure you have the right products for the job.

Styling is a very personal choice. Our interpretation of an Investment Boot is that it should be a style that looks great in two, three or five years’ time. Sometimes the latest and most striking fashion trends or colours don’t stand the test of time. Beware jumping on the fashion bandwagon with investment boots – you may regret it in a year or two.

Our recommended Investment Boots

The absolute staple of winter, knee-high boots are comfy, warm and contemporary – what more could you want? Our footwear experts loved trying these tan knee-high boots on, and the leather uppers are super soft and supple. I’ll be wearing mine with a floral midi dress, a borg-lined jacket and a beanie hat.
