Boots, Heels, Flats, and More—Here's Every Pair of Shoes I Personally Would Buy for Fall
Fall 2024 has officially commenced, and somehow, this fashion editor has yet to purchase a single pair of shoes for the new season. If you know me, you know this is somewhat shocking, but I think this time around I was so overwhelmed by the many amazing options I simply felt I needed to think, curate, and of course budget before taking the leap (or leaps). Well, I think I’m ready now.
I recently spent hours and hours sleuthing the internet (and my own screenshots folder) for the best boots, heels, and flats out there at a variety of price points. Before I make the big cuts, I’m sharing the best of my findings with you today. From slingbacks to suede boots to sneakers and more, consider the below the only shoe edit you really need to see for the season at hand. Ready to get started shopping? Simply keep scrolling for my 33 top picks.
If you find these in your size, you pounce.
I already own these in black, but I want all four of the other color options, too.
I have these in the lower-heel version, and I'm currently contemplating if it's too much to get this pair, too.
I bet these would look so cute with tights later in the season.
I love this heel height and how expensive these pumps look.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
