As we go deeper into fall and winter starts to get even closer, boots are on heavy rotation in my wardrobe. While I've already added a few new seasonal items to my wardrobe (a new puffer and chunky scarf, to name a couple), my leather boot collection could use a little work. I've been wearing the same Zara knee-highs for years, and the amount of scuffing is a sign that it's time for an upgrade. And because I'm in the mood to wear boots exclusively right now (and the weather requires it), I did a market deep dive for the best options to shop. Our favorite retailers such as Net-a-Porter and Shopbop have hundreds of options to sift through, so I narrowed it down to 30 of the very best.
Below, I found a boot for every style, from sleek knee-highs to chunky combats. If you too are looking for a winter fashion update, take a peek at this robust list of shopping options. Your wardrobe (and feet) will thank you, and I have no doubt you'll be wearing your new pick for years to come.
Over-the-Knee Options
There are many new buzzy brands these days, but Stuart Weitzman remains top-notch.
The buckle adds a nice touch.
Power boots.
The elevated way to do the wedge trend.
Edgy in all the best ways.
Brown is the new black.
It's hard to find quality boots under $100, so consider these a shopping rarity.
If you're not too intimidated by platforms.

Knee-High Options
