As someone who grew up on the East Coast, I've always cherished the transition of seasons because it meant refreshing my wardrobe and embracing new styles. While I appreciate dressing for spring, summer, and winter, fall has always held a special place in my heart. It's my favorite season, allowing me to swap out my sandals for sleek, closed-toe shoes.
I recently took some time to review my collection of fall shoes from last year to decide which ones to keep, what to donate, and which new styles to incorporate. With these important decisions made, I eagerly began my fall shoe shopping. I turned to my go-to online retailers—H&M, Nordstrom, and Zara—in search of the latest silhouettes.
Unsurprisingly, I stumbled upon many chic, designer shoe options. Before I knew it, I had multiple tabs open on my computer for luxurious suede boots, sophisticated loafers, elegant slingbacks, and satin mules. I even came across some unexpectedly stylish preppy options, like ballet pumps.
The fall shoe discoveries were too fantastic not to share, so I decided to curate a selection of the finest fall footwear offerings, ranging from cult favorites to timeless classics. Although there were numerous great options, I managed to narrow it down to the 28 best fall shoes. Prepare to treat yourself and your closet—it's time to indulge in fall shoe shopping!
I actually have no notes. The ruched leather is so luxe looking.
Red is proving to be a relentless color, so if you don't already have red shoes, this is your sign to get a pair.
Buckle-adorned fashion items, including bags and shoes, are currently on-trend.
Don't hesitate—these slipper-like flats are already selling out.
I've been looking for the perfect black slingbacks, and I think I just found them.
The curved heel and satin finish make these so rich looking.

Every fall, brown boots make a comeback, and this year is no exception.

The woven leather makes these stand out from all of the other Mary Janes on the market.
These wearable day-to-night boots are worth the investment.
The slouchy shapes gives off a casual and laid-back appeal.
This zebra print reminds me of the abstract animal pattern seen in Tory Burch's S/S 25 collection.
