You often hear the opposite, but we're of the mind that footwear is one wardrobe category you can save on: You move like an Olympic race-walker, and you've got so many pairs anyway, so why even bother? Here, shop 10 affordable boots that are short in height and long on style.

Urban Outfitters

Great color, even greater embroidered flowers.

$98, urbanoutfitters.com.

Zara

In the world of fashion free association, toe cap = Chanel = fancy. Plus it visually shortens the length of the foot.

$139, zara.com.

Topshop

Last year's version was backordered in no time, so DO NOT DELAY.

$130, topshop.com.

Circus by Sam Edelman

Still into monk straps, especially when juxtaposed with brush ponyhair.

$140, urbanoutfitters.com.

Mango

You cannot escape the Céline-y ring. Not that you would want to.

$80, shop.mango.com.

Finery

Toes the line of "affordable" (haha), but with the exotic skin, the Yves Klein blue, and the sculpted heel, you might not object to paying a bit more.

$209, finerylondon.com.
