23 Fall Boot Trends to Try in 2024, According to Fashion Editors

23 Fall Boot Trends to Try in 2024, According to Fashion Editors

Dr. Martens are a classic go-to for combat boots. You can opt for the brand’s signature yellow stitching or go a slightly more subtle route with solid black. These may require some time to break in, but they’ll be well worth it.

Rave Review: “I’ve been wanting a pair of these for years and finally treated myself to a pair as a Christmas present. It definitely makes a difference if you treat them with some leather conditioner to soften and protect them before you wear them out. Some thick socks help with the break-in period too. They honestly feel like they are going to last forever.”

The thick, rugged soles are great for traction, and the neutral hue will go with so many fall outfits. They are available in two different colorways, and did I mention they are water-resistant?

Rave Review: “I had tried several Chelsea boots from different companies prior to giving this one ago. These are by far the best and I’m definitely keeping them. They’re really nice quality; I love the stitching and the lug sole. It’s great that they’re water resistant, too. They look more expensive than they actually are and are good quality. I can wear comfortable thicker cotton sock with these with no problem.”
