I Went Boot Shopping—These Nordstrom, Mango, and Zara Finds Are Stuck in My Head

The best fashion season is boot season, and when temperatures start to drop, there's nothing like dressing up with a cute new pair of fall boots. Though I don't wear them as often in sunny Los Angeles, that doesn't mean I love them any less. Plus, they still work in warmer temperatures if you style them right! Because shoe shopping is my lifeblood, I happily spent hours looking through the boot sections on Nordstrom, Mango, and Zara this week in order to round up the best possible pairs. From designer finds to affordable yet luxe-looking styles, you're bound to find your new go-tos with the shoe offering below.
I made sure to include a variety of shapes, heights, colors, and textures, so there are knee-high kitten-heel boots, chunky Chelsea boots, and everything in between. If you're in the mood for some fall boot shopping (don't deny it—I know you are!), keep scrolling for the 29 best boots from Nordstrom, Mango, and Zara.
