CAROLYN | Low heel boots in seven colors

I ordered the green ones as a small rebellion against a closet that is entirely black and brown. They have been on my feet ever since.

At some point the wardrobe narrows. It happens without a decision being made: you buy black because black is safe, then brown because it goes with the black, and ten years later the only thing with any color in it is a scarf somebody gave you. The shoes are usually the last thing to change, because a colored shoe feels like a risk you cannot return.

This is a plain ankle boot on a low heel, which is exactly the kind of shoe that can carry a color without shouting. The heel is low enough to walk properly in and gives a little lift, and the construction is soft rather than stiff, so there is no breaking-in period. Seven colors, from beige and chocolate brown through gray and green, and the widest size range in the collection.

Why women our age keep coming back to them

• A low heel you forget about. Enough lift to change the line of a trouser, not enough to move your weight onto the front of your foot.
• Soft from the first wearing. The construction gives rather than resists, so there is no week of blisters before they become comfortable.
• Seven colors is a real choice. Beige, brown, light brown, black, gray, green and chocolate brown, which is enough to own two pairs that do genuinely different jobs.
• US 4 through 15. The broadest run we stock, so a small foot or a large one is not left picking from whatever is left.

How they fit

True to size, in US 4 through 15. These are a standard width rather than a wide fitting, so if your feet are broad across the front take the larger of two sizes. The same goes if you wear a thick sock with them in winter.

Order the color you actually want rather than the one you can justify. If it is wrong, send it back within 30 days for a full refund, with no restocking fee.

A few recent reviews

I take a US 12 and I am used to two options and neither of them nice. Seven colors felt like being asked my opinion for once.

Comfortable straight out of the box, which at my age is the only test that matters.

The chocolate brown is a much richer color in person than on screen.
