I Went Boot Shopping—These Nordstrom, Mango, and Zara Finds Are Stuck in My Head
The best fashion season is boot season, and when temperatures start to drop, there's nothing like dressing up with a cute new pair of fall boots. Though I don't wear them as often in sunny Los Angeles, that doesn't mean I love them any less. Plus, they still work in warmer temperatures if you style them right! Because shoe shopping is my lifeblood, I happily spent hours looking through the boot sections on Nordstrom, Mango, and Zara this week in order to round up the best possible pairs. From designer finds to affordable yet luxe-looking styles, you're bound to find your new go-tos with the shoe offering below.
I made sure to include a variety of shapes, heights, colors, and textures, so there are knee-high kitten-heel boots, chunky Chelsea boots, and everything in between. If you're in the mood for some fall boot shopping (don't deny it—I know you are!), keep scrolling for the 29 best boots from Nordstrom, Mango, and Zara.
Miu Miu's viral buckled boots made this moto trend even more popular, and these Vagabond ones are a quality pair.
Slide right into these sock-like booties for a comfy fit that doesn't skimp out on style.
These are selling out quickly thanks to the cool shape (and the fact that it's Khaite).
If they're a staple for Bella Hadid, they're a staple for all of us.
The Campus boots from Frye are an investment, but they are great tall boots with that worn-in look and feel that you can wear during fall and even into warmer months with denim shorts. I'm obsessed with this shade called Banana.
These boots already have that distressed look if you prefer your footwear to have that worn-in style.
Opt for these lug-sole zip-up Dr. Martens for a grunge-inspired look.
For a winter-white situation, these ankle boots are it. They also happen to have an impressive 4.6-star rating out of 5.
To channel an equestrian-inspired fall outfit, you definitely want to snag these tall leather riding boots.
A lug sole will give you extra traction, and the eye-catching silver hardware will earn you lots of compliments.
Boots with a subtle slouch will look good with all your fall dresses and long skirts.
Add a high-shine moment to your ensemble with this black patent-leather style.
These Balenciaga boots are too good to pass up. Plus, you can score them at a discount during Nordstrom's Black Friday sale.
These are a mix between Chelsea boots and platforms, so you'll be all about these black beauties.
These foldover boots definitely have that wow factor.
Kate Middleton is a fan of this brand, so if you want to channel an English countryside vibe, these tassel boots are for you.
Blundstones are a must-have thanks to the durable materials and convenient signature pull tabs.
