Clothing comes in different sizes to fit differently-sized people, so over-the-knee boots—which cover nearly half of your body—should, too… right? We love that ASOS offers several of their most popular options, like this one, in wider fits as well.

What’s better than a flat, over-the-knee boot? One that rings in well under $100, like this style. Adjustable ties at the tops keep them from slouching or slipping down. Also available in black.

It’s the little things. Subtle details like the buckle at the top of these boots make them look super luxe. On a practical level, a side zipper means they’re easy to get on and off, and the lug sole offers great traction in wintery conditions. Also available in black.

The best part of this over-the-knee pair? It’s not the sleek, leg-elongating pointed shape or the cool (not to mention sturdy) half-wedge heel (although those details are pretty great). It’s the unexpected gray hue, which works with any color you wear them with and looks equally good dressed up or down.
