We all dream about owning a showstopping pair of Louboutins or Jimmy Choos, but it's often the more nondescript pieces of footwear that serve us best, and I certainly have to admit that this is true of the one boot I've ever bought twice: M&S's perennial 'stretchy boot'.
These boots are long, stylish and comfortable and look great with almost literally anything. They don't last forever, but my first pair did me proud for a couple of winters, while my second are already doing good service. M&S change the styles slightly every season but they all essentially boil down to the same thing: easy, wearable boots that can be dressed up or down and give you the essential long-booted look for less.
