With a look that's right off the runway and sure to get attention, these sexy suede ankle boots feature three knotted ties on their open backs. The 5 inch heels are a little scary, but they're offset a bit by the low platform soles. Available in black leather, or olive or red suede.
Chic and classic, these no-nonsense ankle boots feature chunky 2" heels and come in a great selection of versatile shades and materials. Ankle boots like these are great for pairing with pants or jeans.
These buckled booties from Nine West are sexy and edgy all at once.
