If you haven’t already noticed, the ’80s are back in a major way. Looking at the F/W 18 runways, we saw everything from boxy suits and power shoulders to pieces made in nearly blinding neon hues and standout iridescent coats. But if we’re being honest, our favorite trend from the decade of the “more is more” mentality has to be the shoes—which is why we’re loving the influx of ’80s-inspired boots this season.
You may have had your reasons to be hesitant about these boots since they made their way back onto the runways—especially if you’ve spent years side-eyeing those pictures of your mom in them back in the day—but with the right pieces, the ’80s trend will look as fresh as it did in, well, the ’80s.
Ready to take on the trend head-on? We’ve rounded up the most stylish boots inspired by the originals for you to wear all season long. From conical heels to the classic slouch, we guarantee that you’ll love bringing the ’80s back this fall.
