When it comes to fall fashion, no item holds a spot more dear and near to our hearts than boots. Yes, cozy fall sweaters and cool leather jackets are proud members of the autumn uniform, but boots, year after year, are an outfit’s workhorse. Is it because of their ability to tie an ensemble together? Or change the vibe of an outfit in mere seconds? The verdict may still be out on which theory rings true, but what we know for sure is that any wardrobe without a pair of chic fall boots is, in our book, a travesty.
While it is safe to assume you have a few go-to pairs sitting in your closet, maybe it’s time to switch up your roster. Chances are you want the best ankle boots to finish off every one of your cold-weather ensembles. Maybe you’re ready to invest in a sleek, over-the-knee style that will last you a lifetime. Or, for those special occasions, you might be shopping for on-trend combat boots. No matter what fall boot styles you have in mind for this season, we found what you’re looking for.

A gray combat boot is a softer variation on the trend.
A Classic Knee-High

Pesky fall weather is no match for these durable, mid-calf Chelsea boots.
An Unexpected Neutral Boot

A Statement-Making Rain Boot
For Rainy Days Sponge Sole Chelsea Rain Boot
A Fresh and Bright White Style
Sofia Block Heel Bootie
Tried-and-true black ankle boots are cool and all, but a pretty white option is a fresh (and welcome) alternative for when you want something different without going too far out of your comfort zone.
A Short and Sweet Western Boot
Presidio Short Black
Round out your collection of fall footwear with these shorties. The style is timeless while the details give it a modern feel. All that is to say, this is undoubtedly an investment in your wardrobe.
A Splash of Pink
Form Boot
Pink is the name of the game in this year’s fashion trends, including the 2022 fall shoe trends. We won’t deny ourselves Barbiecore-friendly footwear, especially when the style in question only seems to get more comfortable with each wear.
A Go-To Ankle Boot
Perfect Zip Bootie 70
Sometimes, all you need is a cool and comfortable staple to throw on as you head out the door. Well, this pair is it.
A Modern-Day Cowboy Boot

An Animal-Print Stomper
Etna Calf Hair Combat Boots
These are not your everyday lace-up ankle boots—and that’s precisely why we like them (plus, they’ll go with everything you’ll wear this fall).
A Lug-Sole Ankle Boot
Cortina in Sandalwood
We’re obsessed with the style; we’re obsessed with the color. Consider these your new alternative to black combat boots.
A Lounge-Worthy Bootie

These boots continue to be a supermodel favorite, and it’s easy to see why: The perfect little finishing touch to keep your toes warm once the weather cools down. Plus, they come in tons of different colors.
A Chunky Snow Boot
Lace-Up Snow Boots
We know, we know—it’s a little early to start thinking about snow boots. But don’t let that stop you from wearing these come fall. Style them with your favorite leggings or tights, or, better yet, pair them with a midi skirt.
A Timeless Black Ankle Boot
Layla 2 Bootie
Sure, you could go with your go-to booties, but a square-toe pair will be a refreshing break from your everyday ankle boots.
A Simple Rain Bootie
Hike Rain Boot
Everyone’s favorite brand to buy rain boots from also makes some really great (and chic) hiking boot hybrids. Who knew? (We did.)

Would it be a fall shoe roundup if we didn’t include these classic boots? We think not.
A Studded Staple
Walton Studded Bootie
We can’t decide which detail we’re more obsessed with: the silver studs or the metal ring on the back.
An Eye-Catching Cowboy Boot
Live A Cow Pointed Toe Western Cowboy Boots
But if you are very into the cowboy boot trend, go big with this cow-print design.
A Shearling-Lined Chelsea Boot
Women’s 2976 Leonore Fashion Boot
Dr. Martens has been owning the boot game since 1901, with a reputation for making high-quality footwear. Picking up any pair from the British icon is a no-brainer, but we’re especially fond of this shearling style for its added warmth.
A Platform Ankle Boot
Maren Boot
Why yes, you can bring the platform trend into fall. Take your outfits to the next level with the Maren Boot.
