Let’s face it: Singapore will never be chilly enough for you to don winter boots. Even a knee-high leather pair is a stretch — especially when our wildly unpredictable weather goes from thunderstorm to scorching hot in mere minutes. Still, don’t be too quick to dismiss this family of footwear — ankle boots or booties are a good alternative.
