Walking shoes or boots with style

[Panticles]

I am appealing to the hive mind. I need new footwear for the Autumn. I am starting a new job and can walk to work, yippee.
The walk will be up a steep hill on a woodland path, through the wood and down the other side. The whole walk will be at least 30 minutes each way. I am very excited about it.
I need footwear. I carry other shoes to work and want to avoid looking like a fell walker. The only other factors is dodgy ankles.
Any thoughts.

Last year I bought the brown riding type boots from a horse supplies shop, can’t for life of me recall the name of them but they are brilliant.waterproof like a welly but still look brilliant with jeans etc.
I walked the dogs in them all last year over fields/woods etc and they look brand new still.They were around £120 but best winter boot investment ever

Thanks those both are great suggestions.
I hadn’t thought of long boots but actually that makes sense to keep my legs dry.
