Autumn is finallyhere and with it comes cooler temperatures, warmer clothes and sensible shoes.So pack away those flip-flops: it’s time to purchase comfortable, enclosed andsturdy shoes for the chilly season. Yet, this doesn’t need to mean the end of fashionable footwear.

This season, thehigh street and designer stores are packed full of stylish, chic and elegantstyles. For anyone preparing to buy some new shoes, here is the low down onautumn’s best footwear trends.

1.      Ankle boots

In a lot ofways the ankle boot is pretty much the ideal shoe. After all, how many footweartrends are comfortable to wear, stylish and well suited to just about anyoutfit? The ankle boot ticks a lot of the boxes and manages to straddle thatelusive line between stylish and practical – a hurdle which many winterfootwear trends fail to navigate.

Ted Baker Ezika Zip Ankle Boots

As always withnew trends, the real test is to see just which celebrities have picked it upand whether the fashion will sink or swim. With A-List names like Gwyneth Paltrow, Blake Lively and Jennifer Lopez all jumping on board with the ankle boot, it looks like it’sa sure fire success. Ankle boots are great paired with both skinny jeans ortights and a skirt.

2.      Wellies

Now thiscertainly isn’t a shoe for every occasion but it’s fair to say that the humblepair of wellies certainly has its time and place. British autumn isn’t exactlyknown for its cheerful weather and chances are there will be the odd puddleover the next few months. Having a stylish pair of wellies can therefore meanthe difference between soggy feet and comfort, making them the perfect commuterfootwear item.

3.      Court shoes

If you’re ahigh heel kind of gal, chances are you’re not going to let a bit of grimweather get between you and your shoe of choice. Yet it doesn’t hurt to lookfor a more practical version than the precarious skyscraper stiletto.

Court shoes aremore enclosed than a peep toe, meaning warmer toes for chilly conditions. Theyare also much more stable around the ankle, meaning easier walking on slipperyand wet surfaces.
