Every year, I require the gentlest of reintroductions to wearing actual closed-toe, heel-hugging footwear. Since my little baby-soft summer feet take most of fall to adjust from wearing anything other than sandals and sneakers, my MO is always to get my hands on fun new winter footwear purchases to wear around our apartment well ahead of any actual weather that demands them—which is to say this is prime time for me to start shopping for boots.
First, like everyone else, I'm looking to secure an on-trend suede style ASAP for maximum wear time before things get rainy out there. Burgundies and browns feel very fall 2024, and you know I'm always in the market for a classic black leather boot. As a well-documented flat-shoe girly, flat boots are always top of mind, with kitten-heeled styles as my go-to for something a bit fancier—and if a high heel is what floats your boat, I've found plenty that would look great with everything from dresses to jeans. From more affordable styles from Mango and Zara to investment-worthy options from Toteme and Khaite, here are 36 of the best pairs of boots you can buy this fall.
Flat Boots
When the aim of the game is to keep your boots tucked up inside your jeans versus catching the hems.
A little cooler than your classic riding boot.
The perfect shade of suede.
This silhouette is very low-key chic.
Here for the controversy.
Removable hardware means two looks in one.
They're back.
Understated.
These mean business.
Just the teeniest of heels.
Mesh is still meshing, in case you're wondering.
Not everyone's over lug soles, and that's okay.
Kitten-Heel Boots
Reformation's hitting that heel (and the suede trend) at just the right angle.
The color is Turkish coffee.
An on-trend animal print for fall.
These had me at Cocoa Berry.
Wear under a longer skirt or dress for a seamless look.
Trending burgundy plus mock croc is doing the most.
These will absolutely sell out.
A perfect olive hue, especially if you're looking for something under $300.
These have so many five-star reviews on Anthropologie.
J.Crew's footwear keeps getting better and better.
The comma heel has gone from a trend to a staple.
Aeyde always gets the memo.
High-Heeled Boots
This elegant heel is doing just enough.
Another one to jump on at Zara before it sells out.
Impeccable.
These come in five colorways, but this one's my favorite.
A secretly comfortable rubber sole.
Big '90s energy.
Again with a little drama.
Mango is always the spot for on-trend leather boots for under $300.
Excuse me for thinking these were designer.
Just $50? Say less.
A high heel, but a solid heel.
Schutz again, with the ideal caramel hue.
