The 31 Best Fall Boots For Looking Chic All Season Long

These pull-on boots are a true fall staple with their classic Chelsea boot style — plus they’re easy to slip on, no lacing required.

This Rihanna-approved designer boot is exactly as futuristic and fashion-forward as you would expect a PUMA x Fenty collaboration to be.

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, cowboy boots are one of fall’s definitive trends this year.

If you’re looking for a less-expected alternative to the classic Highlander style, the fall runways served up slouchy over-the-knee boots that feel a bit more relaxed than sleeker fits of years past. Amazon shoppers love this boot in particular because it offers editor-approved style that comes in multiple colors and leather types, so you’re sure to find a staple. The shafts zip their full length and offer a bit of adjustability through decorative (though functional) laces and shiny metal buckles. A nearly flat heel on the rubber sole feels secure underfoot in wet weather. Also a big hit among fans? Their plush fleece lining with a deep pile.

A glowing review: “Material is super soft and the faux fur on the inside is lovely and keeps my cold feet nice and warm. Definitely will be getting an additional pair in another color. Literally I could not be happier with this pair.”

The perforated vegan leather uppers offer coverage that feels light and airy, with a large Velcro heel tab for the easiest on and off.

For rugged, rustic style that’s built to last, it’s hard to beat a Timberland boot.

The interior is lined in mesh so toes stay sweat-free, and a removable padded footbed provides incredible cushioning. The ankle is padded, as well, to protect the Achilles, and the rubber lug sole can navigate trails or snow when you leave the urban jungle. If you want a stylish boot that can go to the farmer’s market or hike a summit, add this one to your cart.

Squared-off toes and block heels feel particularly fresh and this midi boot has shoppers impressed, citing their excellent quality and comfort. Taller than an ankle boot but not too high to pair with longer skirts, the buttery faux leather and geometric lines give it a timeless appeal.

If the Timberlands were out of reach for you, these could be an alternative worth considering. The combat boot is another utilitarian fall signature, and this one comes in both faux and real leather options within the same listing (the faux leather quilted version is featured here). No matter which version you prefer, fans were pleased to note the boot’s astounding durability, with latex padding and a lug sole going a long way towards hard-working traction and comfort.

A glowing review: “I love that they zip up as I HATE lacing boots up every time I put them on. The hidden pockets are perfect if you want to wear clothes without pockets but you want to keep your key, ID and some cash on you.”

If you’re ready to dig into early ‘00s trends, these platform boots are a great entry-level purchase that you can wear long after the fad expires. They toughen up any outfit, and with a thick rubber sole, they’ll be comfortable when you’re on your feet all day. That said, shoppers reported they were surprisingly light given their chunky sole. They also come in a seriously impressive range of colors, including faux hikers and neon options. If you’re wondering how TF to style them, keep the rest of your outfit classic to balance out the shoes and let them shine.

A glowing review: “Got these for a festival and was floored by how lightweight they were! Still very durable but not so heavy which was great for lots of walking. Nice sturdy platforms, held up well to lots of dancing and jumping, and I got tons of compliments on them.”

Another trend that has since become a classic, these over-the-knee boots received rave reviews from fans for their leggy fit that channels high-end pairs for a fraction of the price. They’re a genuine bargain, too: Not only are they well-made, they’re also astonishingly comfortable. Stretch suede promises not to sag, with a discreet calf zipper so you don’t have to fight them off at the end of the night. A latex padded footbed cushions every step and makes them comfortable to wear for hours. Choose your heel height — both 2-inch and 3-inch options are available within the listing — then try narrowing it down to just one color. With the best selection of transitional shades, you’ll be tempted to grab a few.

A glowing review: “They are elegant, easy to put on with the back zipper, and affordable. I had to take them off going through security at the airport, probably because of the zippers, but they were easy to get off and back on again in a hurry.”

Equestrian fashion is a perennial favorite, so why not invest in a quality pair of leather riding boots? Sam Edelman’s Penny boot has spot-on show-jumping accents, but it was built to look sleek on sidewalks. Noteworthy details include a curved shaft and pull tab with zippered convenience, plus a protective snap to keep them securely fastened in the saddle. (Or running to the train.) Shoppers with wide calves were thrilled to find a boot that kept them in mind, with wide calf options listed as separate color options.

A glowing review: “So I've owned 4 pairs of these boots and wouldn't hesitate to buy them again. I even wore them on a trip in NYC and walked literally 70 blocks in one night in them, comfortable the entire time.”

Franco Sarto’s knee-high riding boots also have equestrian appeal but with some gorgeous details that make them street-ready.

The zipper is tucked inside each calf, and the only embellishment comes in the form of a subtle monogram stamped into the leather. Inside, you’ll find a soft fabric lining designed for breathability. The rubber sole is flexible yet sturdy. Some shoppers thought the leather was a little stiff, but it broke in with a couple of wears. (As leather tends to do.) Wide calf options are available within the listing by color choice.

A glowing review: “I love that the larger shaft actually gives my calves room! The boots are comfortable, well made and look great with a dress or leggings and a tunic. [...] These are perfect and flattering.”

These sharp stiletto ankle boots are your cold-weather version of the classic pump. They’re sleek, sophisticated, and can be paired with almost anything in your closet.

A good rain boot is a must-have any time of year, but especially during the soggier months when staying dry is essential for keeping warm. Opting for a taller boot gives you the leeway to wear it through winter, and investing in a good pair is well worth it in this case. Meghan Markle’s go-to rain boots are handmade from vulcanized rubber with a wicking liner so feet stay dry inside and out. I’ve personally worn these several years in a row to climb city snowdrifts, where they kept my feet surprisingly warm under a couple pairs of socks. (The traction is good, too.) They’re sturdy, practical, and they last for ages so you get a good return on the British heritage investment.

A glowing review: “I have had this pair of Hunters for going on three years now, and I cannot say enough about them. The biggest testament to their comfort: I walk about 4.5 miles to work each day (round trip) even in the rain/snow, and these boots are just as comfortable on the last mile as they were on the first.”
