There are multiple types of boots, all for different types of occasion.In general, we usually get used to only a few pairs of boots, when in reality there is a huge range to choose from and for any event, from a casual meal, to a forest walk.
We have already talked about some types of boots that you must know, but here we leave you the definitive list of those that exist and how you can identify them.

Chelsea boots are among the most popular and are characterized forever to have an elastic side panel, which makes use easier, in addition to making them flexible when walking.
Ankle boots
Boots or Ankle Boots are inspired by Chelsea.They usually have a similar adjustment but we will not see an elastic panel, but instead they can have a closure or a strap that does not stretch.They can feel a little more tight on the ankle but it depends on the person.
Chukka Boot
The Chukka boot is an ideal boot style for casual outfits.These are characterized by having a rubber sole, which can give them more comfort while the upper part can be made of different skin types including suede, being that one of the main materials used.They are usually focused on the top to adjust only to the ankle.
Wing tip boot
Wing end boots are boots with a thin appearance but that is made wide on the tip.They are usually made of skin, and usually have a conventional structure that wraps the ankle, but at the bottom, just when you reach the tip it opens creating a kind of arrow.These can be comfortable for men with big fingers.
