Drew Barrymore’s shoes would make Elvis Presley proud.
The Charlie’s Angels the actress, 49, recently got a pair of blue patent leather shoes — or rather, boots — for the episode The Drew Barrymore Show. Tall in more ways than one, they rose to knee height on the star and were accompanied by skinny heels to add to her height. She also wore a striped button-down shirt, striped pants and went makeup-free alongside guest Pamela Anderson and co-host Valerie Bertinelli.
Tall boots are actually one style norm that Taylor Swift, Jennifer Garner, Selena Gomez and many other stars wear every fall and winter, as well as brushed leather styles like Uggs. But a couple who are both tall and antelope is much rarer.
Boots that cover more than the ankles and feet are noticeably warmer than styles that stop, well, there. Meanwhile, suede and soft-looking fabrics are making headway even before the season kicks off with pants, shoes and bags.

These Dream Pairs boots are lined with faux fur, the heel is relatively flat for less foot pain, and part of the boot “doesn’t come down,” according to one customer. They also have something special that is hidden from strangers: pockets. “[You] you can easily put an ID, credit card and a few dollars in the trunk pocket without worrying about having to dig through it,” the customer added. Plus, Prime members can score them for less than $45.

Barrymore’s heels looked a little uncomfortable, but good news: there’s a smarter (and probably much less painful) option. Kate Hudson wore a pair of wedge boots last January, and while they were still up, they looked a lot better.
This pair has a 1.5 inch heel, so they’re not overly high, and the color and texture work well together. There is also a full-length zipper that goes from the top to the bottom of the boot to make getting into them a better experience.

These Kenneth Cole boots are made of faux suede, although it’s almost impossible to tell, and they also zip all the way up and down. The heel is the same height as the wedge pair, although it is a block heel, which is even more stable than the latter. They come in black and grey-brown, plus sizes 5 to 10.
