Every year, my feet require the gentlest of reintroductions to fall footwear. Since my little baby-soft summer toes and heels take a minute to adjust from wearing anything other than sandals and sneakers, my MO is always to get my hands on any fun new boots well ahead of any actual weather that requires them. And since I need ample time to wear any new fall boots around our apartment before debuting them outdoors, September is prime time for me to start shopping.
Firstly, I'm looking to secure an on-trend suede style ASAP, for maximum wear-time before things get rainy out there. Burgundies and browns feel very fall 2024, and you know I'm always in the market for a classic black leather boot. As a well-documented flat-shoe girly, flat boots are always top of mind, with kitten-heeled styles as my go-to for something a bit fancier—and if a high heel is what floats your boat, I've found plenty that would look great with everything from dresses to jeans. From more affordable styles from Mango and Zara to investment-worthy options from Toteme and Khaite, here are 36 of the best pairs of boots you can buy this fall.
Flat Boots
When the aim of the game is to keep your boots tucked up inside your jeans versus catching the hems.
This silhouette is very low-key chic.
The perfect shade of suede.
Here for the controversy.

J.Crew's footwear keeps getting better and better.
The comma heel has gone from a trend to a staple.
Brown mock croc always brings a little something extra.
These also got the memo.
High-Heeled Boots
This elegant heel is doing just enough.
Another one to jump on at Zara before it sells out.
Impeccable.
These come in five colorways, but this one's my favorite.
I don't often say obsessed, but I am obsessed.
Big '90s energy.
Again with a little drama.
Mango is always the spot for on-trend leather boots for under $300.

A high heel, but a solid heel.
