Currently holding the number 1 best-seller spot in women's boots, these ankle boots from Dream Pairs would normally set you back by £23, but they can be yours right now with a delightful discount, bringing the price down to a pleasantly low £16.

Ideal for anyone who finds typical wellies uncomfortable, these versatile marvels can seamlessly transition from walks with the dog to your morning commute to office meetings, evening drinks with friends and so much more.

They are ankle-height, making them ideal to wear with your favourite jeans without any awkward bunching. And thanks to the elasticated side panel, you're ensured a comfortable fit while also being easy to pull on and off.

Plus these gems have a non-slip outer sole that makes them ideal for hiking in the rain without any worry of losing your footing. Coming in a stylish and flexible black colour, these boots are set to go with every wardrobe on any occasion - making them a great pair of shoes to reach for all the time through the cold and wet winter ahead.

Shoppers are beaming about these boots, with one 5-star reviewer raving: "I bought these boots during one of last year's (many) wet spells for cycling to and from work, and ended up keeping them on all day instead of changing into my normal shoes/boots! They're comfy, and great at keeping rain and spray/splashes out (especially with waterproof trousers over them), but also look good - I've worn them into meetings, restaurants, etc. and they appear almost like regular ankle boots. With all the wet weather we've had over the past year, they've been a real godsend!"

While another gushes: "I bought these with short notice as needed them for a festival! I thought for £19.99 they would do the job! These were amazing so comfortable and waterproof! I walked miles and they were wearing slippers! They are perfect for the wider foot/ankle. They go with ease. Would highly recommend purchasing these boots."

Meanwhile, even more love comes in for these gems, with another customer chiming in: "I LOVE these ankle boot wellies! Perfect for not only working around the farm but also taking walks! They’re stable and have a shoe-like feel but with all the durability and weatherproofing features of a classic wellie."

So why hesitate, run over to Amazon now to grab these must-haves - and, for a limited time, you can save some cash on them too!
