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.”

Show off those ankles in a neutral bootie that has cool slits on both sides.

Rave Review: “Love these boots. Super comfortable and light. Fits very well. Love, love, love!”

Just dropping these timeless black boots here, in case your go-to pair has a few scratches or salt stains on them.

With a stylish toe, funky heel, and wine, bold brown or black hues, these boots are about to become your go-tos.

A simple pair of pointed pull-on boots are a versatile staple.

All the street style stars own at least one pair of croc-embossed boots, and you should too. It’s basically an unwritten rule.

Platforms are still trending, and in boot form, they’ll give all your fall ensembles a ’70s-inspired twist.

Rave Review: “I have never had a boot that did not hurt my feet–very comfortable!”

Nothing like a pair of lug-sole knee-high boots in autumn. These would look so good with an oversided plaid blazer and a miniskirt.

A silver zipper running down the front gives these ankle boots some added edge. They also come in black and bone, JSYK.

A timeless leopard pair of boots are the perfect addition to any outfit. Treat this as a neutral tone.

A metallic cowboy boot? Yes, please. If only there was also one in gold! I’d snatch those up in an instant too.

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.”

A sleek boot with a sleek stiletto heel is ideal for those fancier occasions where you might want a dressier style. These come in three more different colorways.

Rave Review: “Search is over! These boots were everything I was looking for—they look as good on as they do in the ad. They are comfortable and a great heel height to still look stylish. Purchase of the year for me!”

A knit boot like this one has just the amount of stretch you need to keep your foot in place all day long.

Rave Review: “This boot fits like a glove and hugs your feet, giving your ankles support throughout the day. I wore these on day one and two for 12 hours each day. I work in retail and I’m on my feet ALL day on tile flooring (which can be extremely painful at times), but these boots are awesome! I will be ordering another pair.”

Ugg boots aren’t going anywhere! This mini version is super comfortable and easy to slip on, whether you’re wearing them around the house or out.

Rave Review: “The mini size is great and much more versatile than the OG size. These are super lightweight and keep my feet comfortable and warm on these cold winter days.”
