In this winter boots try-on haul, I’m rating 5 pairs of high heel boots for 2025 and giving you a full 360 look at each one so you can really see the shape, toe, and how they sit on my legs. I’m petite, so fit is everything for me—especially around the calves. I don’t like when boots look spacey or make my legs and feet look big and bulky, so I’m calling that out as I try each pair on and walk in them. I start with my chocolate brown concealed-heel boots that I bought back in February when I went boot shopping in Paris—super cute, but not my style and not comfortable, so my overall rating lands in the middle. Then I get into my “Tim” lookalike pair (not actual Tims), which I rated a 10/10 because the mini heel should be comfy and the toe is tough (I do not like a soft toe, period). I also show my day-one black Forever 21 boot (cute and snug, but uncomfortable), a newer black pair that’s softer but runs big on my size 6 feet, and my all-white Shein boot that surprised me—$20, comfy, snug, and a straight 10/10 for me.
