Ready for some fresh boots for fall? This season hasn't even begun, but it's already off to a strong start when it comes to shoe shopping, and the new-arrivals sections are really popping off right now. How do I know this? Over the past few weeks, I've done a ton of trend research for the season ahead, poring over the fall/winter 2023 collections, studying what fashion-person celebs like Kendall Jenner and Olivia Rodrigo are wearing, and scanning my social media feeds to find out what people are talking about. In other words, I have a pretty good idea of what's to come in fashion for fall, and I plan to shop accordingly.
Based on my findings, I've come to the conclusion that the 29 new fall boots you're about to see below—from the designer moto style that will be the blueprint for all other trendy boots to the classic knee-high boots that will never go out of style—qualify as some of the buzziest stompers of the moment and the year at large. I'm excited about each of these picks, and I know you will be too.
Oh, these? They're just the boots that every fashion person has at the very top of their wish list right now.
Sock boots have been off my radar and out of my closet for years now, but with sleek takes like this, I think I'm coming back around to them.
If you love the Khaite Dallas boots, get ready to flip over their minimalistic successor, the Marfa.
Clearly, a touch of Western style is a huge trend this fall.
Good old-fashioned engineering boots for the win.
How divine are these sock-like ankle boots? Patent leather is a micro-trend that's quickly bubbling up right now, so take note.
I can already picture these with so many of fall's coolest outfits, from delicate slip dresses to pleated skirts.
Beyoncé concert tickets, anyone?
The shape of these gives me The Row vibes.
To me, you're perfect.
Not for the faint of heart, but worth the fashion risk IMHO.
With snakeskin prints having an increasing impact on cool style this fall, I had to show you this equally covetable version of the Marfa boots.
Wedges not only are a fresh option for ankle boots, but they're also incredibly walkable.
These are so hot.
Zara just gets it.
With studs, grommets, and buckles, the more the merrier.
Cue the trending TikTok audio that says, "How to dress like you're from the Lower East Side."
Cool stompers.
Every closet needs classic knee-high boots, and I've been eyeing this chic pair for my own wardrobe.
So sleek.
These honestly belong in a museum.
Naturally, everyone wants to get their hands on this more affordable Miu Miu alt. Luckily for you, I found them still in stock in a number of sizes on SteveMadden.com.
Style these with skinny jeans or leggings and a big blazer.
Bring polish to any outfit.
Cool and ultra-wearable.
This hardware, though!
