Whether you love walking everywhere, have a job that keeps you standing on your feet all day, or are just that person with sore feet who's always looking for a place to sit, comfy shoes are a must—and I'm here to tell you that your feet deserve it. But for the times you don't necessarily feel like wearing some sneakers and prefer a dressier look without getting out your heels, a comfy pair of ankle boots make for the perfect middle ground.

Peep a few of the best ankle boots for women in 2023, below:

Now when you hear the word "boots," your mind might immediately jump to fall or winter. But, ankle boots are cut so low that many can actually be worn year-round. They're one of the few shoes you can pair just as easily with jeans and a fall sweater for holiday parties as you can with a cute mini dress for summer rooftop cocktails.

Either way, the days of sore, tired feet are gone. See below for tried-and-tested comfy ankle boots (which also make for great winter boots) that reviewers can't stop raving about.

Hope Clara Ankle Boots

If you're looking for a pair of boots that'll last you for a decade without breaking the bank, these Vionic boots are it. They're weather-proof, have a microfiber footbed, and feature targeted support in the arches of your feet.

Reviewers adore that they're fashionable and comfy. Plus, they go with almost any outfit, and you can wear them pretty much everywhere. Did I mention that they come in four different patterns?

Rave Review: "I'm blown away by the fact that I could put these on and wear them ALL DAY the first time. They have a soft leather-like material, really nice and firm soles, a good quality zipper at the side, and there's no need to undo the laces. In love with these! They're my new favorite shoes. I could not afford expensive brands that these look like. I had seen these suggested as an affordable alternative…I give them 11/10, they're great!"

Leopard Ankle Boot

Animal print makes every outfit more fun, but that doesn't always equate to comfort. These shoes are the exception. They have a super subtle heel that's just enough to provide some sole support, and a padded footbed to keep you looking and feeling amazing for hours on your feet.

Additionally, they have a good heel height that'll allow you to stay comfortable, plus, they can be dressed up or down with multiple outfits. Multiple reviewers say they even received compliments while wearing the shoes!

Rave Review: "I love these booties! They're so comfortable and I love the color! Super cute with jeans, dress pants, or dresses. I would buy them again and again!"

Rave Review: "I bought these because I wanted a cute, stable bootie with a little height. I love them!! I didn’t have to break them in at all! I wore them around the house to see how they fit and felt, and I was able to wear them on a wine tour without my feet hurting at all. You have comfort and support in a stylish bootie! I would definitely buy them again!"

You know these. If you don't already own a pair, you should know that they are absolutely worth the hype. The ultra plush shearling is made to be sweat-wicking, so you can wear them without socks to easily slip in and out of them all winter.

Because of the ankle cut, these boots can be paired with several different pairs of pants, from flared leggings, to skinny jeans. They technically come with a waterproof exterior, but reviewers say you should add an extra coat of waterproofing spray to them to be safe.
