Best women's boots under $30

Start with the Millie Moto boot — a black vegan-leather ankle boot with a side zip and a slightly lugged sole, so it reads sharp with jeans and still grips wet pavement. It's the most versatile shape in this range.

Who the others suit:

• Teagan tall boot — water-resistant leather and a 14" shaft: the one for rain, slush and tucking jeans in.
• Western Boot — real full-grain leather vamp and lining, if you want a statement pair that lasts.
• Madelyn combat bootie — chunky platform and laces for a grungier, everyday-walking look.
• Marleigh / Mallory heeled booties — for nights out rather than long walks.
• Snow Boots — the pick for actual cold and wet, not style.
• Slouch and Chelsea styles — easy pull-on pairs for quick errands.

Sizing runs narrow on some of these, so check the size listed on each card before ordering.
