We love the fashionable pointed toe with its metal boot tip that adds a western feel that's so in right now. Pointed-toe shoes do tend to be pretty narrow, and some online reviewers say these boots could be too tight if you have wider feet.

We love the almond-shaped toe, but some reviewers say it fits a bit narrow.

Vionic claims the innersoles are built to cushion your toes, hug your arches and stabilize your heels for the ultimate comfort. The cut of the ankle is designed to be a bit oversized, so it may feel looser than other boots you've worn.

Sometimes, sky-high stilettos aren't worth the trouble, but you don't have to swear off all heels. Kitten heel boots are perfect for someone who doesn't want to sacrifice comfort for fashion. These faux leather boots from Journee Collection are effortlessly stylish with a pointed toe and short heel, and they have a foam innersole for an extra comfy feel.

One GH analyst who has worn similar boots from the brand says the synthetic stretch material has a sleek, fitted feel that she loves, but she noted that it doesn't look as high quality as more structured boots. If you're really wanting to elevate your shoe game, try the brand's Cypress boot with an even higher 5-inch heel and 2.25-inch platform.

A modern take on the iconic UGG boot, the Ultra Mini is all the rage right now. These comfy cropped boots are cozy enough to wear as slippers around the house or as a casual style while you're out running errands in colder weather. The soft sheepskin shoes are lined with a plush wool-blend material that looks and feels great but can be a bit difficult to care for. UGG offers its own line of cleaners and tools for proper maintenance, though. You can choose from 10 cute colors like lilac, bright pink and olive, but we're partial to the classic chestnut brown.
