A good pair of boots that combine both style and comfort are an essential item for any autumn wardrobe, and a new design from Marks and Spencer promises the best of both worlds.

The Chelsea ankle boots, available on the website for £46, come in two colours - burgundy and black – with sizes ranging from three to eight, reports Chronicle Live.

The boots have a unique design that merges two classic shoe shapes to create a brogue-style Chelsea boot. They feature intricate stitch detailing around the front and back, along with a low block heel and a round-toe.

They're also easy to slip on and off as they have elasticated side panels and a pull tab.

To add an extra touch, they also incorporate anti-bacterial Freshfeet technology, a feature used by M&S to help eliminate odour-causing bacteria in footwear and textiles, keeping them fresh.

The Chelsea boots have received positive feedback from shoppers on the M&S website, with one saying they are "comfortable and stylish".

"I'm looking forward to wearing these in the winter," they added.

Another happy customer said the boots were "fabulous" and went "perfect with skirts, dresses and jeans".

A third added: "Love the style and shape, good price and very comfortable".

However, one buyer was "very disappointed" with the quality of the boots, saying that "after wearing them for one day, they look about a month old".

The Chelsea Brogue Detail Block Heel Ankle Boots are available from M&S for £44.
