Boots are footwear with high shafts that cover the ankle, and often the shin or knee. It is one of the oldest and most functional types of footwear, born of the need to protect the legs from cold, damp and injury. Today boots are a vast family of styles: classic knee-high leather, over-the-knee, cowboy boots, work and army combat boots, rubber boots. They combine practicality with powerful style potential: high boots make the silhouette slimmer and the look complete and confident. Materials range from smooth and patent leather to suede and textile. Boots are appropriate from harsh winter to the runway, and their character can be anything: from romantic to brutal. It is footwear of strength, protection and expressive style.
