Ready for some fresh boots for fall? This season hasn't even begun, but it's already off to a strong start when it comes to shoe shopping, and the new-arrivals sections are really popping off right now. How do I know this? Over the past few weeks, I've done a ton of trend research for the season ahead, poring over the fall/winter 2023 collections, studying what fashion-person celebs like Kendall Jenner and Olivia Rodrigo are wearing, and scanning my social media feeds to find out what people are talking about. In other words, I have a pretty good idea of what's to come in fashion for fall, and I plan to shop accordingly.
Based on my findings, I've come to the conclusion that the 29 new fall boots you're about to see below—from the designer moto style that will be the blueprint for all other trendy boots to the classic knee-high boots that will never go out of style—qualify as some of the buzziest stompers of the moment and the year at large. I'm excited about each of these picks, and I know you will be too.
Oh, these? They're just the boots that every fashion person has at the very top of their wish list right now.
