With Beijing's temperature set to plummet to below zero, nothing's better at keeping those tootsies warm than a pair of knee-high boots.

In addition to being practical (well, those without the 4-inch heel!), they're also versatile and can be paired with anything from skinny jeans to city shorts, long feminine dresses to mini-skirts.

And regardless of your individual style, this season's designers have gone to town, producing boots in a variety of styles to suit everyone, including round toes, studs, cowboy-style, stacked heels and platforms.
