These wear-with-everything shoes get a yearly update and the 2016 crop has not disappointed. Taking the lead from the catwalks, there are the usual suspects; Chelsea boots and cowboy-inspired styles reimagined in this year’s hot print: snake, or created from luxe velvet or Bowie-influenced metallics. There are also new shapes – we’re talking loafer-meets-ankle-boot – and new brands on our radar too. You will find those on this list, among the star styles from the British high street. </p> <p>1. <strong>Clarks Barley May Purple Grey:</strong> £65, Clarks </p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><!-- scald=4651676:sdl_editor_representation {"additionalClasses":""} --><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161120194053im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/09/12/16/clarksbb.jpg" width="564" height="423" alt="clarksbb.jpg" title="clarksbb.jpg"/></div><!-- END scald=4651676 --></div></div> <p>This British brand has been on a roll with on-trend but still seriously comfortable footwear in recent seasons and has earned itself a lot of younger, fashion-conscious fans. Snake print is back in big way this autumn and we love this subtle grey shade that goes with everything. The 6cm heel makes it a great day-to-night option. Unlike a lot of other pairs, these come in half sizes.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161120194053/http://www.clarks.co.uk/p/26120081" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Buy now</strong></a></p> <p>2. <strong>Jeffrey Campbell Gazer Star Western Heeled Ankle Boots:</strong> £125, Asos </p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><!-- scald=4651681:sdl_editor_representation {"additionalClasses":""} --><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161120194053im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/09/12/16/jeffrey-campbell-asos.jpg" width="564" height="423" alt="jeffrey-campbell-asos.jpg" title="jeffrey-campbell-asos.jpg"/></div><!-- END scald=4651681 --></div></div> <p>American shoe designer Jeffrey Campbell is known for statement footwear and counts the likes of Selena Gomez and Beyonce among its fans. This western-inspired leather pair remind us of Celine’s Rodeo boots, but these lose the studs and the staggering price tag. Instead, you get a white and red star design to help you go full Wild West. A 9cm heel might sound high but the block heel keeps these comfortable.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161120194053/http://www.asos.com/jeffrey-campbell/jeffrey-campbell-gazer-star-western-heeled-ankle-boots/prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=6785073&clr=Blackredwhite&SearchQuery=jeffrey+campbell&pgesize=27&pge=0&totalstyles=27&gridsize=3&gridrow=7&gridcolumn=3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Buy now</strong></a></p> <p>3. <strong>Topshop Apple-Pie Loafer Boots:</strong> £89, Topshop </p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><!-- scald=4651176:sdl_editor_representation {"additionalClasses":""} --><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161120194053im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/09/12/13/topshop.jpg" width="564" height="423" alt="topshop.jpg" title="topshop.jpg"/></div><!-- END scald=4651176 --></div></div> <p>Thanks to some help from Gucci, classic loafers have made a big comeback. The British high street is packed with affordable versions and Topshop has gone one further and worked the style into ankle boots. This metallic leather pair will add an edge to your look, but they also come in black and blue suede versions if silver is a bit too Ziggy Stardust. </p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161120194053/http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/shoes-430/apple-pie-loafer-boots-5857985?bi=0&ps=20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Buy now</strong></a> </p> <p>4. <strong>Miista Alycia Black:</strong> £230, Miista </p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><!-- scald=4651151:sdl_editor_representation {"additionalClasses":""} --><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161120194053im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/09/12/13/miista.jpg" width="564" height="423" alt="miista.jpg" title="miista.jpg"/></div><!-- END scald=4651151 --></div></div> <p>Miista is a British label that makes designer-feeling leather styles at a reasonable price. This Spanish-made pair takes the block heel, the rounded toe and the lace-up ribbon to create a combo made in fashion heaven. It's slightly higher than the standard ankle boot so we’d say these are the ideal pair for a glam occasion. Wear with socks or without depending how you style them. These also come in patent. </p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161120194053/https://miista.com/products/alycia-black" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Buy now</strong></a> </p> <p>5. <strong>& Other Stories Glossy Leather Ankle Boots:</strong> £125, & Other Stories </p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><!-- scald=4651166:sdl_editor_representation {"additionalClasses":""} --><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161120194053im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/09/12/13/other-stories.jpg" width="564" height="423" alt="other-stories.jpg" title="other-stories.jpg"/></div><!-- END scald=4651166 --></div></div> <p>Nude is the new black, particularly when it’s this glossy.

Fittingly, the London-based label has given its best-selling, flamenco-inspired style a luxe makeover. They’re bit more expensive than the rest on the list, but it’s the little details here: the top quality Italian velvet with leather piping around the elasticated panel and the leather strip down the back with Cuban-inspired pattern on the stitching. We like this rich dark green but they are also available in burgundy and grey.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161120194053/http://www.penelopechilvers.com/boots/ankle-boots/dp-2459/cubana-velvet-boot" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Buy now</strong></a></p> <p>11. <strong>Office Lucky Charm Studded Boots:</strong> £82, Office </p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><!-- scald=4651161:sdl_editor_representation {"additionalClasses":""} --><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161120194053im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/09/12/13/officeluckycharm.jpg" width="564" height="423" alt="officeluckycharm.jpg" title="officeluckycharm.jpg"/></div><!-- END scald=4651161 --></div></div> <p>We can’t get enough of western-inspired boots this season.
