The 4 Most Comfortable Black Boots That Are Also Extremely Stylish
Why is the one thing we all want so impossible to find?
by The Candidly Team
Comfortable boots that are also supremely gorgeous are, how do you say? Ah yes. A nightmare. Just a total nightmare.
The heel is wrong. The quality is bad. They feel comfortable the first day but then our legs feel like they’re being broken in half on day two. The zipper is dumb. The toe is too narrow.
There are so many ways black boots can fail us. And so we have made it our mission to round up our favorites, with varying price points, so you can just have this article be the last article you ever have to read again about stupid black boots.
They all come in black (of course) but we maaaay have some of them in other colors because you cannot imagine how exciting it feels to wear a boot that is not black.
Which is probably another article for another time.
So here they are. In no order (except they sort of are in order)—our favorite black boots of all time that are both wildly comfortable and impossibly chic.
1. Inez Paz 70 stretch
These boots are shockingly unassuming. But for a 3 1/2 inch heel, nothing comes even close to this level of comfort. The entire upper is made of a soft, stretchy suede, and the toe box is slightly tapered but still roomy (they call this style a “snip,” who knew?) so if you can’t really do a full point but you don’t want something clunky and boxy, this is your boot. The price feels extreme but once we wore them for many days in a row we understood. We love that they come in a slightly lower heel, and they also have a “roomy” width for any of our fellow paddle-footed gals.
* Gifted
Pros: Amazing stretch, lots of fit and height options
Cons: Pricey (though we have a code!)
Price: $385

2. Dolce Vita Alima Boots
These are perhaps the boots we would show aliens if they came down and asked to see the perfect, quintessential, tall black boot. The heel is shockingly comfortable and curiously, looks high, while feeling low. And they come in FOUR different calf sizes so you never feel squeezed. The leather is buttery soft leather and the silhouette of this shoe just magically elevates every outfit we wear in fall.
Pros: Chic, mega comfort, comes in all calf sizes
Cons: We now must have them in brown suede*.
Price: $290
3. Vivaia Rita 2-in-1 Detachable Mid Heel Boots
It is TRULY INSANE how comfortable these boots are. Fully stretchy. Waterproof. The heels feel like flats. It’s hard to express how these boots are made for people who just don’t wear anything with a heel. And amazingly, they come with “leg warmers” in the same material that seamlessly turns them into a tall boot. Kind of marvelous, right?
Pros: The stretch accommodates all calf sizes, the 2-in-1 short and tall boot is incredible for winter packing
Cons: None. Absolutely none.
Price: $169

4. Dr. Marten’s 2976 Smooth Leather Platform Chelsea Boots
These boots are a dream to walk in all day, and they give every outfit more balance and more oomph. We wrote about how they make us look taller and more put together no matter what we’re wearing HERE.
Pros: Glorious comfort and loads of compliments
Cons: You’ll have to answer 14 people asking where you got them every time you go out
Price: $210
