The Best Brown Boots to Shop This Autumn

last updated 4 September 2023

The leaves have not yet begun to fall, but we're already seeing some of autumn's key trends hit the streets. In the lead up to the cooler season, we've spotted leather jackets en masse, as well as oversized jumpers re-emerging everywhere we look. On the footwear front, most commuters have swapped their sandals for something a little sturdier as the weather veers towards rainy. Not quite breaking out the chunky, black boots just yet, Londoners are opting for sleeker styles in all shades of brown for a lighter take on A/W styling.

Hitting all those core styles, brown has appeared in the form of ankle boots, knee-high boots, suede boots and heeled boots this autumn.

Unlocking a whole new realm of styling potential, brown boots come to life when styled with an autumnal colour palette made up of browns, oranges, sunset yellows, reds and black. From up and down the high street to our favourite designer brands, I've found the best brown boots available in all of our favourite styles to see you through this autumn and beyond.
