Promising review: "I got these boots right before leaving on a three-week vacation to Scotland and London. I didn't want to bring big heavy boots in my bag so I got these. They are pretty lightweight and very comfortable. I put an insole in to help with the cobblestone streets but I was able to wear them comfortably through long days of walking.

Promising review: "These boots are great! The ankle is wide enough that they slip on and off easily but are not too bulky. Super waterproof! These are great if you have a dog or kids and find yourself stomping around wet grass and puddles often. The material is a little lighter than most rain boots so my feet aren’t sweating after walking my dog in a warmer rainy day (but with fuzzy socks they’re plenty warm for cooler mornings)!" —Alys Lou

Promising review: "I have traveled in these shoes all over Japan and England and I couldn't be more delighted. Logged 12 miles in one day walking around London without a blister or toe out of place. I love their versatility — they are nice enough to wear for business — particularly if you are on your feet a lot. Also, they look super cute with jeans or a sundress. I love Dansko shoes and these have not disappointed. Truly held up over time and continue to cradle my feet today!" —Sara E. Guterbock

PLUS, they have a secret small zipper pocket if you need somewhere safe to keep cards and extra cash!
Promising review: "I love these boots! My feet are always cold at work but I stand for nine hours straight every day so I have to be comfortable. These are the first boots that I have found that I am comfortable in standing all day. They have fur on the inside and are soft. The boot has a little wiggle room so I can wear thick socks without them being tight. They have good traction for walking around outside in snow or ice. I can’t say enough about how great these boots are! You won’t be disappointed!" —MamaMoRx
Get it from Amazon for $46.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in six colors).
13. Ugg slipper shoes here to make your feet feel like they're snuggled up and cozy all autumn long! They're great for indoor *and* outdoor wear, plus they pair perfectly with socks if you need even more warmth on colder days.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: "First thing that needs to be said is that Uggs are great! They're warm, they're cozy, and you can just slide them on when you're freezing — I won't hear otherwise! They're not exactly high fashion, but they don't *need* to be when it's a straight-up polar vortex outside. So when I saw these Ugg slipper slides with an elastic back, I just had to buy a pair. I don't know what it is about them I find the cutest: the slightly sporty elastic, the Michelin man-esque plush rolls on top, or the chunky bottoms that give you a little extra height. AND they have all the comfort of a slip-on slide, but without the feeling that your foot is going to fall out any second.
They have a hard sole, so you can wear them as indoor slippers, half-indoor-half-outdoor take-out-the-trash-shoes, or real regular shoes (aka what I'm going to use them for). When it's still warm-ish out, I'm going to wear them with my toes poking through, but they're also going to be *so* cute with socks (team socks + sandals 'til I die!!!!!). And they're SO SOFT AND COMFY! I'm prepared to live in these all fall. Paired with leggings and a blazer? It's the perfect 'Ugh, I can barely make today happen' work outfit. I honestly want to get another pair in another of the cute colors...or the leopard print. Oh, and just FYI, I ended up sizing down in these!"
Get them from Amazon for $43.99+ (available in whole sizes 5–12 and in a variety of colors) or Nordstrom for $37.50+ (available in whole sizes 5–12 and in 10 colors).
14. Plaid sneakers decked out in fall-friendly hues that'll take your autumn wardrobe to the next level while also adding a warm pop of color to outfits year round!
BTW — These shoes are from a Black woman-owned company in Australia. They're handmade, so it takes 10–15 business days after purchase before they'll be shipped out.
Get them from Shekudo for $245 (available in European sizes 36–42).
15. A pair of sleek, knee-high equestrian boots that aren't horsin' around when it comes to flawless fall style and comfort that'll last even if you're walking around all day long!
A few reviewers have noted that if you have wide calves, these might not be the boots for you. So check out these riding boots if you're looking for a wider fit.
Promising reviews: "These boots are gorgeous. They're the perfect color for fall." —211912

16. Amazingly comfortable Dr. Scholl's shoes reviewers love for making a day full of walking easy on their feet *and* for being warm enough to wear in the fall, winter, and spring!
Promising review: "These are by far my favorite shoe. I have 3 pairs, and I’ve worn them to walk miles and miles in Europe and on vacation. I found them comfy right off the bat, but they do loosen up a bit after wear. They are warmer than other sneakers, which works great for spring/winter/fall. I have average (average width, average arch) size 10 feet, and the size 10 was a perfect fit." —Pagan45
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 in regular and wide widths and in 21 colors and patterns).
17. Or some Skechers walking shoes designed to revolutionize your walking experience with responsive cushioning, a rebound insole, and a mesh fabric upper to help keep your feet happy no matter how many steps you take.
Promising review: "This is my third pair (although slightly different makes). They always fit well, give me good support, and are comfy for work or play. I wear them in the spring, fall, and winter months." —Crystal Koster
Get them from Amazon for $34.16+ (available in sizes 5–13 in regular, narrow, and wide widths and 25 colors).

Promising review: "G.O.A.T. These are SO cute, even more so in person. I LOVE them. I don't think you could go wrong no matter what color you buy. So easy to slip on quick, but also great for all day wear. Like a shoe and a slipper had a baby.....and SO cute dress up or down. Highly recommend." —Sommer Skrzyniarz
Get them from Amazon for $38.47+ (available in sizes 2–12 and in 29 styles).
20. Or some faux fur-lined versions if you're looking for a little extra warmth this fall.
Promising review: "My husband got these for me for Christmas and I love them. They fit snug at first, but are the most comfortable slip on-type shoes I've had. They're lightweight and easy and convenient to slip on, and the faux fur lining is so soft and adds a little bit of warmth."
Get it from Amazon for $44.98 (available in sizes 5–11 and also available in beige).
21. *OR* a faux fur-lined version with a foldable cuff that'll be a cozy paradise for your chilly feet.
Promising review: "Love these! So cute and cozy. I find this brand to run true to size, and these fit the same as my other Dudes. Not fully fur lined, just partially. But that’s fine for me, as I am wearing these for a cozy fall shoe and not a winter snow boot." —darkski2610
Get it from Amazon for $38.97+ (available in sizes 5-11 and 11 colors).
22. And finally, some inexpensive but dreamy low wedges — they come in a variety of fall-friendly colors you can dress up or down depending on the occasion!
Promising review: "This is my second pair of these lace up booties and I love them. I have a gray suede pair that I wore most of the fall/winter last year. These are a perfect addition and they don't look cheap. Wore them all day on Friday and even worked the Fall Festival at the school with no problems. Wish I had them in black too!" —M. K. Miller
Get them from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes 5–12 and in 11 colors).
