The second temps dip into the 50s (okay, let’s be honest, even the low 60s), you can bet I’m digging my boots out of the back of my closet.
Fall boots are just built different. They can be sexy, practical, cozy, rugged, or some combination of all four, which makes them one of the most versatile pieces in your whole wardrobe. But as tempting as it is to grab the first cute pair I see and call it a day, there are a handful of boot styles that genuinely earn a spot in your closet every single year, rather than being one-off impulse buys.
Our picks range from the classic heeled bootie to the super-practical snow boot, and what I love about all of them is that they manage to marry style with function. They’re chic enough that you’ll want to wear them nonstop, but practical enough to handle whatever fall weather throws your way.
Ahead, shop our must-have boots to take on the season in style!
Blondo Alexis Waterproof Knee High Boot ($115.18)
Knee-high boots just have universal sex appeal, there’s no other way to put it!
This pair proves you don’t have to sacrifice style for practicality, either, thanks to Blondo’s waterproof technology that keeps your feet dry through rain, puddles, and slush. Meanwhile, the sleek suede and block heel are still polished enough for date night. The boots are tall enough to give you a sleek, leg-elongating look, and maybe that’s because the heel height hits the sweet spot. It’s high enough to feel dressed up, but nothing you’ll be kicking off the second you sit down.
SARTO by Franc0 Sarto Flexa Elia Bootie ($89.98 – $99.97)
Depending on how you style it, a heeled bootie works for a fancy dinner, brunch with your besties, or a day in the office. They’re basically a secret weapon, and I’m drooling over this pair in particular.
The square toe and ring-embellished strap give it a sexy edge, but it’s practical, too: the cushioned insole means you can wear these all day without your feet screaming by 5 PM. If you buy just one bootie this fall, make it this one.
Hunter Moon Quilted Snow Boot ($175)
Every late fall or winter wardrobe needs at least one boot that can actually handle the elements, especially if you live somewhere cold.
With the quilted upper, toggle-cord closure and cozy fleece lining, this pair is a fantastic option. Your feet will actually stay warm (not just “warm enough”), which is always an issue for me. And while hopefully you’ve never wiped out on an icy sidewalk, you can still appreciate the lugged rubber sole, which gives you extra traction when you’re walking through slush and snow.
Project Cloud Slouchy Leather Boots ($49.90)
These boots do a little bit of everything, and they’re under $50! Their slouchy shape feels cute and effortless with jeans and a sweater, but they can just as easily dress up a casual fall dress when you want to look a little more polished.
They’re also surprisingly comfy for your average boot, thanks to the cushioned memory foam and latex insole. I appreciate the little details, too—like the side zipper and low block heel, which make these pretty much perfect for everyday wear.
It’s currently 56 degrees where I am today, and now that it’s officially fall weather, these are the boots I want waiting in my closet. Cute, practical and ready for whatever the season throws at you? Sounds like a win to me.
