I think we can legitimately pass this week off as autumn boot weather. I love my strappy sandals as much as the next Zara shopping fiend, or my comfy Tevas as much as every other editor in theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK office, but the Met Office app has spoken, and new boots are the order of the day.
The past month has marked a turning point for our go-to high-street stores entering the new season. Suddenly, autumnal prints and colours were in stock, more luxurious, less flimsy fabrics were being added to the new-in sections, jackets were starting to filter through and (our weakness) the footwear offering was skewing towards close-toe styles and boots.
Even knee-highs and over-the-knees are appearing, which you may not feel ready to invest in quite yet, but the early shopping bird catches the most stylish worm, and we're only here to give you that heads-up.

From a pair of lace-up Zara boots that sold out almost instantaneously to Wholesale Replica Bag drop at Topshop and London girls' favorite Dr. Martens to Marks and Spencer's autumnal shoe collection, we've trawled all of the best affordable stores online to bring you an edit of the boots that will sell out first, categorised into the major trends…
SHOP THE HIGH-STREET'S BEST AUTUMN BOOTS FOR 2019
SNAKE PRINT
Topshop is really winning at the boot game.
Very mod.
I love it when a heel is covered in the same fabric as the boot. It always looks more expensive.
These sit really snugly on your ankles for a streamlined finish.
Snake patterns are getting more and more experimental this season.
WESTERN ANKLE BOOTS
They'll get better and better the more you wear them in.
Who says you have to opt for a classic colour? These blue Mango cowboy boots are spectacular.
All the fancy finish you'd expect from a vintage pair.
These are pretty wild for the high street.
The loveliest shade of tan to wear with true-blue straight-leg jeans.
LACE-UP BOOTS
In a word: chic.
Okay, these are a bit pricer than your average high-street boots… but look at them!
Selling like hotcakes.
From the shoe brand we're all really into right now.
These are part of a premium range and it really shows.
CHUNKY-SOLE FLAT BOOTS
Even cute with a summer dress.
These started to become popular last winter, but we think they're going to spike this year.
We always appreciate a lace-up hiker boot with a secret side zip.
It's the contrast sole that seems to elevate these.
We know editors who are going loco over these.
Next up, how to build a capsule wardrobe.
