A knee-high boot covers more of the leg than any other shoe, so it changes an outfit more than any other shoe: it turns a skirt or a dress into something for October. These are the pairs we would buy, in four shapes, from £273 to £2,470, all in stock now.

How to buy a knee-high boot

Measure the widest part of your calf before you order, and check it against the shaft width, because a boot that is tight at the calf will not stretch much. A side zip makes a close fit easier; a pull-on boot needs room. The top of the boot should sit just below the knee so it does not catch when you sit. Wear it with a skirt that covers the top of the shaft, or leaves a clear gap above it.
