Sizes: 5.5–11 with half sizes | Material: Leather | Design: Socklike ribbed inset, ¾-inch platform, 2¼-inch heel | Price: $ Hannah Baxter, deputy beauty editor of The Zoe Report, seconds this, saying that because the Floras are British-made, she thinks they’re the “real deal.” If you needed any more convincing, Strategist associate editor Jenna Milliner-Waddell wears hers year-round. Iva Dixit, noted coat collector and the New York Times Magazine editor, agrees that the subtler sole “makes them feel a little more adult.” Dixit has had her pair for years now and says they’re remarkably well-made, looking “like they’ve been worn, but not beaten up,” with the dark sheen developing a patina over time. And the soles do double duty when it comes to practicality and style: The lower-profile heel is no-skid to prevent wintertime slippage and stands out against other (higher) Docs, Samadzadeh explains.

(They did take the title of the most mentioned pair, after all.) For New York Times senior software engineer Nozlee Samadzadeh, these hit a sweet spot that’s neither too sleek nor too chunky. The Floras aren’t like other Docs, with a glossier finish and without the signature stitching that the boots are known for - which is exactly why their fans love them.

If you do like drama, Elizabeth Tamkin, content and partnerships manager at Kule, pointed us to the Quad version of the 2976s, which have a thick 1.5-inch platform and a two-inch heel. Jenni Lee, founder of luxury sock label Comme Si, describes them as easy to wear because they have the construction of a functional boot with a silhouette that “looks good even when you’re treading through city slush.” New York Review of Books marketing manager Abigail Dunn shares a similar sentiment, pointing out that they’re a little subtler in a sea of much thicker-soled Docs (but still stand up to heavy abuse). Harrel likes them more than the Floras for everyday - even though these are more casual, she feels they add an “extra badass edge” to whatever she’s wearing. That’s what also makes them a favorite of Freddie Harrel, founder of beauty company RadSwan. London-based journalist Pandora Sykes lives in her oxblood pair, which Docs describes as a more rugged take on its classic Chelseas from the ’70s. The 2976s weren’t the pair we heard about the most (see the Floras below), but they take the title here because (a) they fulfill the Chelsea-boot ideal we had in mind in making this list, and (b) they’ve made appearances all over our archives - including our guide to the best ankle boots - as further proof of their power.
