Whether you're prim and proper or a gal with a penchant for the punky, the low-heeled lace-up leather boot is your perfect winter shoe. It's not only one of the coolest looks of the winter season, but also a timeless staple you'll be able to wear for years to come. Some call 'em combat boots, but our picks are miles away from anything clunky, rugged, or military issue. These are all of the greatest stomp-ready clompers that manage to be tough without being over-the-top. And don't worry: If you want a brighter edge, we've got that, too. Either way, you know you need a pair. You're a New Yorker after all. And what's life in the city without a pair of ass-kicking boots?
