What makes ankle boots walkable?
Heel height under two inches, a stable sole, and a shaft that does not cut into the front of the ankle. Comfort claims matter less than the outsole and fit notes.

Buying notes
What to check before you buy ankle.
Should you size up?
Only if the brand's current reviews show narrow fit or you plan to wear thick socks. Too much extra length causes heel slip, which is worse than a snug break-in for many boots.
