Sarah Jessica Parker works the shoe boots in Sex and the City
As the cold winter weather sets in, it's only fitting that the fabulous shoe boots hit the shops again. They first strutted down the catwalks last year and have been given the celebrity seal of approval with everyone from Gossip Girl's Blake Lively to the Olsen twins and Sarah Jessica Parker all tottering around in them.
They're better at keeping our tootsies warm than the usual heels and are more flattering than standard ankle boots and their calf widening properties.
We hit the high street to bring you the best selection out there.
This black peeptoe pair from ASOS are a credit crunch friendly at £30 and Lindsay Lohan has been snapped in a similar pair. The snakeskin effect and scarlet lining and heels gives them a designer look.
We love this patent pair, £80 from Moda In Pelle. They get extra style points for coming in this season's it colour, purple. They'd look great with a little black dress, adding a splash of colour to the outfit.
The gold detailing on this Faith pair, £90, gives the shoe boots a really luxurious feel. The super high platform heel is bang on trend and the buckles are a great touch and keep them looking special.
Aldo's patent shoe boots, £80, could really give designer versions a run for their money. The patent effect makes them look twice as expensive. The navy blue makes a nice change from black and the zip down the front is perfect as zips are everywhere at the moment!
So throw your regular heels to the back of your wardrobe and embrace this season's shoe boots. Your feet will thank you for it!
