For a high heel that’s not a stiletto, turn to Coach’s groovy shoes. “I’ve been obsessed with finding the perfect pair of knee-high boots for years,” says Glamour digital director Perrie Samotin. “I’ve come close to the one, but my few other pairs—while cute—come with caveats (the heel is too high for day; the leather is too slouchy; the sole is too thin, which makes walking hard; and so on). I recently saw these classic black leather Natasha boots from Coach and decided to give them a try. I liked that they looked sturdy without being too chunky and that the thick heel was high enough to provide a little boost while still looking appropriate for early-morning subway commutes and days at the office. I’m pleased to report that these are all I hoped for and more—the 14.5-inch shaft height falls right below my knee, the leather is divine, and they look just as classic bare-legged with a short skirt as they do with tights, longer dresses, or slim pants.”
