Just because our feet are difficult here at the Barking Dog, doesn’t mean we can’t wear the current trends and still be comfortable. And even though it’s currently 85 degrees out, Target’s aisle of pumpkin spice made its debut last weekend, so guess what? It’s officially ankle boot season.

Cooler weather can be your friend after a summer of strappy sandals and flip-flops. Weak ankles will welcome the extra support of the boots featured below. Find the ankle boot that fits your foot issue whether it be arch support, wide toe box, orthotic-friendly, multiple width or extended size.
