H&M’s $50 Heeled Sock Boots Look Just Like Designer Ones

Recently, there’s been some debate about ankle boots—whether they’re “in” or not. As someone who’s chronically online and works in fashion, I believe I know a lot about this topic, so I want to clarify that ankle boots are not just “in” for 2025, but they’re also everywhere, especially heeled sock boots. Brands like Khaite, Toteme, Reformation, and Docle Vita are all embracing this fall boot trend. Even H&M offers a pair that looks just as luxurious as those from high-end brands and is one of the best designer-passing pieces I’ve come across recently.

H&M’s Heeled Sock Boots are the shoes in question. They are priced affordably at $50, but don’t let that fool you —they look far more expensive, making you think that H&M forgot to add an extra zero to the tag. The ankle-high design features a snug yet stretchy upper that fits like a sock, and the pointed toe adds a sleek and sophisticated touch. The best part is that they come in three color options—black leather, chocolate-brown leather, and brown suede—catering to different styles. I’ll be adding all three to my wardrobe because, together, they cost less than the single designer pair I’ve had my eye on.
