Combat boots are on the ground for stylish fashion-forward ladies. Check out how to rock these comfy stompers as you combat against a dull and tired wardrobe this season.
We know that combat boots are designed for men in combat (well, duh!). Warfare aside, isn’t it great that the fashion world gets to tone down the military vibe of these serious kickers and turn them into a non-conventional addition that can be teamed up with diverse outfit styles that cater to both men and women alike?
Well, I for one find the footwear a fresh and sensible footwear trend to weather through the monsoon that is taking place right now here in old Malaysia.

Remember that combat boots have the tendency to chop up the length that you’ve got going on vertically. A few tips to prevent unnecessary inches from being lobbed off is to make sure the boots fit your legs well (common sense) and do not feature clunky embellishments.
For those with wide ankles and calves, this is all the more important because constrictive footwear exaggerates the chunkiness of your legs and will make you appear shorter. To add inches back while still keeping some semblance of a continuous long vertical line, find brown hued combat boots instead of black.
