Product Type: Boots

A combat boot with a real heel solves the oldest problem in the category, which is how to wear one with a dress. Soda's Keynote-S sets a 2.5 inch chunky heel under a black lug sole combat boot, with a lace-up front, a side zipper, faux fur detail and a smooth faux leather upper.

  • 2.5 inch chunky heel. Lifts a skirt or dress the way a flat combat boot cannot, on a base wide enough to feel planted.
  • Lug sole, dressed up. A heavy tread under a heel is the contrast that makes florals and satin look intentional.
  • Smooth black finish. It wipes clean and sits well next to every color of tights.
  • Faux fur detail. A winter texture set against the black upper.

Combat Boots With Dresses and Tights

A dress with ankle boots and tights is the outfit that returns every October, and a heeled combat boot makes it easy to pull off. Match the tights to the boots and the leg reads as one long line, which is why black on black works under any dress color. Floral midis, sweater dresses and slip skirts all take the edge of a lug sole well. The 2.5 inches of heel keep a midi hem from dragging the proportions down.

What a Chunky Heel Changes

Flat combat boots are for covering ground. This one trades a little of that for shape: the heel tips your posture forward slightly, shortens your stride and makes the ankle look narrower under the laces. The width of the heel is the important part. A chunky heel spreads your weight over a broad base, so it stays steady on brick, grates and uneven sidewalks where a slim heel wobbles. The tread keeps the silhouette tough even under a skirt.

Keynote-S Fit and Sizing

Soda lists Keynote-S as true to size. It is made in US women's 5.5 to 11 with half sizes up to 8.5, so a 9.5 orders the 10 and a 10.5 orders the 11. Man-made uppers do not stretch with wear, so the fit on day one is the fit you keep. In a heeled boot the foot drifts toward the toe more than it does in a flat one, so lace the lower eyelets firmly to hold your heel back. The zipper then does the daily work, and the lacing stays set.

Tights, Dressing Up and Winter Care

What tights go with black combat boots? Opaque black gives the longest line and works with everything. Sheer black is the evening version. Patterned or colored tights are best when the dress is plain. Skin-tone tights make a hard break at the ankle against a black boot, so they are the pair to skip.

Can you dress up combat boots? Yes, and a heel is what makes it convincing. Add a tailored coat, a satin skirt or a blazer over a dress, and keep the laces neat with the ends tucked in. The contrast between a tough boot and a polished outfit is the point of the look.

How do you remove salt marks from black boots? Wipe them the same day with a cloth dampened in water and a drop of mild soap, then again with plain water. Dry the boots at room temperature. Salt left on a synthetic upper dulls the finish and leaves a white tide line that gets harder to lift.
