Boots quintessentially spell out winter, and belong to cold climates.

They're also a fashion statement - especially when women in tropical countries such as Malaysia and Singapore try to get a piece of the action by wearing trendy knee-high boots in scorching temperatures.

The new season means new boot styles to try on and add to your shoe-drobe. Whether you like them short and sweet, or prefer to stick to tried-and-trusted knee-highs, there's enough to keep boot aficionados happy this winter.
