This fall, lace-up ankle boots are a footwear must-have. From low-heeled versions, which are proving quite popular, to the high heeled renderings shown above--the long, lean lines of this season's ankle boots make quite an elegant statement. Wear them with cropped skinny jeans and a t-shirt or wool tights and a shift dress in the same shade.
