Perpetue Lace-Up Ankle Snow Boots for Winter

Perpetue keeps the winter boot short. It finishes at the ankle rather than climbing the calf, which makes it the one to reach for when the weather is cold but not dramatic, and when you want to wear jeans over the top rather than tucked in. The front laces give a proper adjustable fit across the instep.

Black only, and for a boot this practical that is the right call. It goes with every winter outfit already in the wardrobe and hides the state of the pavement better than any other colour. Wear it with straight jeans, with leggings and a long coat, or with thick tights and a wool skirt. The ankle height keeps the leg line unbroken in a way a taller shaft does not.

Sizes run US 4 through 8.5, so this sits at the smaller end of the range and is worth checking before you plan around it. The chart below converts each available size to EU and UK with its matching foot length. Laces adjust across the instep but not in length, so measure your foot if you are between two sizes.

• Silhouette: ankle-height winter boot
• Closure: front lace-up
• Sole: treaded sole
• Toe shape: round
• Colourways: Black
• Sizes: US 4 to US 8.5
• Care: wipe clean with a soft damp cloth and let air dry away from direct heat, do not machine wash

Foot length is measured heel to longest toe. Size up half a size if you plan to wear thick socks.
