1. A pair of zip-up ankle boots that have more than 1,500 5-star reviews and a ton of comments that emphasize just how comfortable they are, and how versatile. Wear them with a cute little dress, your favorite jeans or a pair of cutoff shorts — they're the perfect fall transition shoe.
2. A pair of Sam Edelman equestrian boots, because you can't go wrong with a classic — especially a classic like this, that tons of longtime fans adore. They're chic yet comfy, feature a full-length zipper at the back and feel so luxurious for the price.
3. A pair of chunky lug sole platform boots that you can rock with your favorite jeans and a chunky sweater all fall long, because how good will these look with your pumpkin spice latte in hand?!
4. Sperry duck boots because they are the perfect blend of rustic-cute and comfy — and, the holy grail of colder-weather boots, waterproof. Wear them with a wooly pair of socks over your jeans for the ultimate preppy fall and winter look.
5. A pair of zip-up tie-knot ankle booties one reviewer said they own in three colors and wear all day while working on their feet, without any pain or discomfort. So, pretty much the fall dream shoe.
6. A pair of lace-up high-stacked heel booties for an edgy fall vibe. Pair them with your go-to mom jeans, a basic tank, and a plaid shirt for a relaxed weekend look, or dress them up with a skirt, tucked-in graphic tee, and a little denim jacket. Basically, they'll make any outfit you wear them with.
7. A pair of suede boots with a stacked heel that one customer called "beauty, comfort, and quality all in one shoe." If you're gonna splurge on a pair of shoes this fall, go for this beautiful pair — it's made from natural vegetable-dyed suede, has a leather heel and soul, and elastic side paneling for extra comfort.
8. A pair of faux leather lace up boots with a faux shearling detail because they have garnered more than 2,000 5-star reviews from people who say they were thrilled at how good these boots are for the price they paid.
9. A pair of waterproof suede boots that are elegant enough to wear to work with a dress or skirt, but cozy enough for a casual jeans and sweater day. The bold block heel, ribbed panel, and gold buckle definitely make these worth the price.
10. A pair of suede winter boots with cozy lining, for a fraction of the cost of Uggs — yet one shopper said those name-brand boots don't stand a chance against these!
11. A pair of leather Kenneth Cole Chelsea ankle boots that go with pretty much anything. They're durable, provide tons of support and come in five different leather colors, as well as two suede options.
12. Rubber rain boots because they come in THE cutest patterns. Like, how cute is the bee print? And the polka dots? The adorable florals? We'll take one of each, thank you very much.
13. A pair of pointed-toe stacked-heel booties with a side cutout that you'll be reaching for every time you need a statement shoe to jazz up your outfit. Get them in a leopard or snakeskin print for a little pattern action, or go more understated with one of the solids. The good news is that in addition to being cute, they're also super comfortable, as one reviewer who wore them for the first time for an eight hour shift can confirm.
14. Sam Edelman knee-high boots with a 2.5" heel, because everyone needs a pair of sophisticated heeled boots in their shoe closet. They're beautifully made and, as one reviewer commented, if the boot fits, buy it in every color. Done! ✅
15. A pair of water-resistant hiking boots that *shhhhh* you can also wear for nonhiking activities if you're more of a walker and not a hiker. They have a soft and comfortable interior and the plaid band around the back adds a cute little detail perfect for fall.
16. A pair of Sorel wedge boots for fashion and function, all in one shoe. The wedge design gives them so much versatility, and since they're made from waterproof full grain leather, a little autumn rain won't do them any damage.
17. A pair of chunky Chelsea boots with built-in bling, which is pretty much genius. The bejeweled strap is removable, so you can also wear them plain, too — but why would you ever want to do that?!
18. A pair of faux leather quilted knee-high boots that look like you paid hundreds of hard-earned bucks for them, even though they're actually only around $50. Such a good deal for such a great pair of boots — they have side zippers so you can get them on easily, and buckles that give them such a high-end, expensive look.
19. A pair of Dr. Martens platform boots because you can't go wrong with a classic. They add just about 2 inches of height and are that one boot that'll never go out of style. And that was definitely made for walking.
20. Wedge heel booties with braided fringe ankle straps that you'll be getting compliments on every time you wear them. They're really comfortable, thanks to the wedge design, and reviewers say they've walked in them for hours with no painful blisters.
21. A pair of faux fur and suede lace up boots because even though winter is a couple months away, it's never too early to get ready — or at least get your footwear ready. These boots are made from genuine water-repellent suede and come in at under $30. Buy them now and your January self will seriously thank you.
22. A pair of rhinestone-adorned boots one reviewer called "showstoppers," and you can see why. Sometimes, nothing but a sparkly shoe will do, and we're pretty sure even Carrie Bradshaw herself would approve of these babies.
