Casual ankle boots

When your days are busy, you need footwear that can keep up. Casual ankle boots from SOREL® are designed to be incredibly versatile, easy to wear and built to last. We combine everyday function with bold design, so you never have to choose between practicality, comfort and looks. Every type of boot we create boasts all three. Whether you’re looking for a classic Chelsea boot, something with work-boot functionality, or you prefer your footwear to look a little more edgy, our range of men’s and women’s boots is designed for modern life with styles to suit all tastes and practical needs. Want footwear that looks sharp in the office but also works for the school run? Need a boot that you can easily slip on and that will also keep your feet dry when the weather inevitably changes? Our function-first, style-driven footwear ensures that you are always ready for whatever lies ahead. Let's explore what makes casual ankle boots an essential item in everyone's wardrobe.

Footwear designed for everyday

Just like our women’s trainers and men’s casual shoes, our casual ankle boots are the perfect everyday companion. Not every shoe can seamlessly take you from shopping in town to a relaxed evening with friends, or from the school run to the office. But casual ankle boots can. They work in a range of conditions. Made from premium materials and boasting stand-out features, they are designed to get you where you are going in style. Some designs use lace fastenings for an adjustable fit, while others use a secure zip so you can just slip them on in seconds with minimal effort. Whatever your lifestyle and personal style, at SOREL® you’ll find a huge selection of options, including leather uppers, suede finishes and different heel heights from flat soles to heeled and platform options.

Styles and colours that pack a punch

Every wardrobe needs a good pair of casual ankle boots. But don’t think casual just means practical and bland. In fact, at SOREL®, our collection of ankle boots is bursting with exciting designs full of attitude and brimming with functionality. Check out our range of men’s and women’s boots and you’ll find everything from classic and elegant to trendy, edgy and outdoorsy designs. For example:

• Chelsea and slip-on styles: With their smooth side panels, stretchy gussets and sleek shapes, these are perfect for when you want something that looks sharp and easy to slip on
• Lace and zip hybrids: Some designs combine back zips for quick on and off wear with lace fronts for adjustability to ensure a secure fit
• Extra lift: When you want a bit of subtle height, heeled or wedged boots will give you the lift you need
• Sport-inspired hybrids: Sneaker boot hybrids take the best of both worlds to create bold yet comfortable ankle boots that are perfect for all-day wear

And we don’t hold back on colours either. SOREL®’s colour palette includes everything from neutrals to standout shades, including blacks, blues, browns, pinks, reds, yellows and tan. Whether you prefer to keep it low-key or stand out from the crowd, SOREL® gives you plenty of options to choose from.

How to wear casual ankle boots

One of the many great things about these types of boots is that they are so incredibly versatile, you can almost wear them with anything. But if you're looking for ways to style casual ankle boots to get the most out of your look, here are two examples of how to wear them:

• Everyday wear: Pair your boots with your favourite jeans, a tucked-in relaxed chunky knit and a structured bag to create an effortless yet put-together look. Opt for neutral tones if you want to keep it classic or go for bolder tones to make your outfit stand out.
• Formal wear: When it’s time to get serious, team leather ankle boots with a fitted dress or tailored suit for a sharp, sleek look. Add a blazer, coat or minimal bag for a polished finish. A heeled boot can help sharpen the look.

Be ready for wherever

SOREL® has redefined the classic ankle boot. By mixing strong materials with bold design and colours, we have created a range that offers something for everyone. From platform soles to subtle heeled options, from wide fit to slim profiles, our collection proves that style does not have to come at the price of comfort.
