After moto/Chelsea/cowboy boots, Sock Boots are the new kids on the style block. Say hi to the boot with a higher shaft than your regular ankle boots. The style helps to balance hips better than the super short ankle boots and is more versatile – you can wear them with boyfriend, skinny jeans or dresses and skirts and the lines, which tend to be sleek, rather than chunky, help to elongate the leg.
Irene Shelley says: These Free People sock boots are a flattering option as they hit higher on the ankle and make legs look longer
