The search for the perfect ankle boot can be a daunting task, but editor Hilary Reid I found a nice pair of heels that came close. Steve Madden’s Dusty ankle boots have a 1.5 inch block heel, slim ankle, and cowboy boot-adjacent stitching. Reid bought a brown suede pair because they “looked like Khaite” to her and says they’re comfortable enough that she’s considering buying another pair, this time in black. Better yet, they’re now 40% off at Macy’s. early Black Friday salewhich represents a savings of almost $60. They are on sale in three color and material options: black leather, brown suede and gray suede.
