Well, These 30 Chunky Knee-High Boots Have Stolen My Heart
 
  
Fall ushers in a few of my favorite things: crisp breezes, colorful leaves, and, of course, the best thing of all: boots season. Sure, you can wear boots year-round, but as a fashion lover, I find immense joy in thumbing through runway imagery to see which fall boot trends will reign supreme for the season. It is one of my favorite pastimes, period! While there are several great styles to shop for right now, I’ll admit there's one style I'm most excited about: chunky knee-high boots. Seriously, who doesn’t love a good pair of knee-high boots? But chunky ones? Well, they're even better.
Fortunately for us, we've seen this boot silhouette given so many fresh iterations that the trend has reached new heights. With versions of chunky knee-high boots featuring everything from lug soles to platforms to block heels, it's one of the most versatile boot trends. But you don't just have to take my word for it. Ahead, I've rounded up examples of this boot trend in the wild, proving the trend's continued relevance. I've also included curating the 30 best chunky knee boots based on quality, versatility, reviews, brand recognition, and trending styles. Fair warning: these boots may cause heart palpitations.
Chunky Lug Sole Knee-High Boots
  
It’s impossible to scroll through Instagram without noticing how chunky, lug-sole knee-high boots have become the style among influencers. Luckily, there are various ways to style this winter-friendly boot, which can be found everywhere from Ganni to Steve Madden.
Chunky Knee-High Heeled Boots
  
If you’re not into lug-soles, the alternative way to buy into this trend is opting for a timeless chunky heeled knee-high boot. Not only do thicker-heeled styles mean the shoe will be more comfortable, but they’re also more versatile.
Chunky Platform Knee-High Boots
  
If Carrie Bradshaw is your forever style icon, then a platform, chunky, knee-high boot this fall seems right up your alley. The higher, the better.
