We're deep into fall, and I've been shopping for boots since the first leaf turned brown. Every year, I'm in the market for either a pair of over-the-knee or sock boots, but there's one style I can always rely on to keep my fall outfits looking classic and elevated: the wedge-heel ankle boot.
SOREL has mastered the art of creating shoes that are both highly functional and fashion-forward with its Joan wedge-heel boots. And this season, the brand has upped its game by adding a slew of new colors and on-trend details to choose from. Whether you're on the hunt for extremely comfortable winter footwear that gives you a little height or you want to test out some fresh lug soles in earthy tones, there's a boot here for you. Keep reading to shop my favorites.
I could see these olive Chelsea booties styled with a faux-leather blazer and a pair of split-hem pants.
This taupe boot with gold-colored hardware and a light sole would be so perfect with an elevated head-to-toe creamy look.
A moment for the holy grail of boots, please. These zip booties have it all: chic black leather, elevated zipper hardware (which makes it easy to get them on and off), and the perfect heel that's both high enough to wear under longer trousers and comfortable enough to wear all day.
Shearling, tie-up, and lug-sole. Name a better winter weekend combo. I'll wait.
Chocolate brown is the unexpected hue of the season, and the fashion set has been stocking up. This brown bootie is a great alternative to a classic, goes-with-everything black boot.
Caramel also feels fresh for fall. I love these with a pair of wide-leg jeans and a cheery knit.
I own these boots, and when I tell you they're so comfortable, I mean it. Style them with a midi skirt, and you have an outfit to take you through your busy day.
I'm into the mix of fabrics on this pair—an unexpected twist that adds a statement to your look.
