Knee-high boots are everywhere, and these faux-leather ones from Soul Naturalizer are one of our favorites. The arch has memory foam for extra cushioning, and there is also foam lining in the sole. The boot’s side zipper makes it easier to slip into if you have a wider ankle or calf, as well as to adjust thicker socks or your skinny jeans. The best feature, however, is the wedged heel, which is gentle on the foot but height-boosting. The boots are available in brown as well as black, have rubber soles, and are a great option to wear every day.

Promising review: “I love these boots and get complimented every time I wear them. Thinking about buying a second pair for back up. I have a bad back and these are very comfortable for having a raised heel.”

No fall wardrobe is complete without a pair of Steve Maddens. The Howler Ankle Boot come in nine different colors, and we’ve been seriously tempted to grab one in each. They’re casual but cool looking, and have a chunky heel that makes the leg look a little longer. We love them worn with a pair of classic boot-cut jeans, a cable-knit sweater, and scarf. But they also look cute with a pair of tights and a flouncy skirt, blouse, and blazer. The back of the shoe has a pull-tab, and there’s some stretch to make slipping them on as breezy as the fall weather. The lug sole is super supportive, and exactly what you want to wear if you have a lot of walking planned or stand all day.

Promising review: “Okay, I must admit I purchased them because they are trendy. I don’t think they go out of style but I was skeptical — I’m wasn’t too keen on chunky shoes until now! I also bought them in black! I wear them with all by skirts and dresses — basically with everything.”

These cowboy boots will make you say yee-haw! Designed in a classic western style (very trendy this season), they come in 26 different colors, and go up to size 11. They’re fun, unexpected, and have a wide enough leg that you can even tuck your baggiest sweatpants inside. They work well with faux-leather leggings, shapewear leggings with a cute midi-skirt, or that favorite sundress you’ve been rocking with a cardigan.

Promising review: “The boots [have] a great fit. I’m able to wear them all day.”

For damp and chilly days, go for these cute flats. The Kendal Waterproof Leather Ankle Boots from Cougar feature a thermoplastic rubber sole to grip slippery streets and a a classic leather exterior. The faux-fur top adds some extra warmth, and the sock-lining is removable. We love the side zipper, and the fact it comes in several neutral color options. These would look great with jeans but we’d also rock them with a pair of luxury sweatpants for a sophisticated street-style look.

For dressy or professional settings, step out in something like the Ambry Step Platform Bootie. It’s from Clarks, so you know it’s comfortable, and the raised footbed has some extra cushioning. Even if you find yourself running a few errands, your feet shouldn’t ache. The rubber soles also make them great for stomping over slippery fall leaves and wet pavement. They’re high enough to keep your favorite pair of wide-leg pants from dragging, and sexy enough to sport with a LBD.

Promising review: “These are everything I thought they would be and then some! They are so easy to walk in, it’s almost like walking in a wedge to me. The comfort is beyond! The cushion doesn’t go flat. It literally inflates every time you take a step, so when you apply pressure it’s compressing every time!”

Biker boots are trending for fall. If you don’t want to look like you just jumped off a motorcycle, give the Naturalizer Gloria Mid Shaft Boots a try. Their rich chocolate brown color is sophisticated and smart, and are perfect for autumn. The traction outsole grip is great on slippery surfaces, and the leg has a Countour+ Technology that conforms to your calf for comfort. The chunky block heel isn’t too high but still gives a slight lift. Expect these to quickly become one of your favorite pairs.

These best fall boots for women may not be for everyone, but if you love vintage looks or taking fashion risks, try these. The Sandy Platform Boot reminds us of something a sixties go-go dancer would wear, and the style is back in full swing. They’re total showstoppers, especially when paired with a shorter dress and tights! They also look gorgeous with skinny jeans or cigarette pants, and a trench coat — totally up to you! Although on the higher side, the block heel makes it easier to move around without watching your footing. The shoe is available in red, blue, and a psychedelic floral print. However, if that’s too attention-grabbing, they’re also available in classic black or a creamy white.

Promising review: “Absolutely love my Sandy boots. They go on easily, and fit like a charm. Amazingly comfortable and even with the higher heels, so easy to walk in! Very striking addition to many of my outfits! Love them!”

When you can’t decide between a boot or a sneaker, go for these Pull-On Booties. Even though they’re suede, they’re completely waterproof, so enjoy them come rain or shine. The bottom has high-traction bottom to protect the feet, and if you’re like to stand a smidge lower, take out the footbed. These are great for days off when you want to look fashionable but feel 100 percent comfortable. Almost 2,000 folks on Amazon swear that these are one of the best fall boots for women.

Promising review: “I love Sorel brand wedges…These booties are super comfortable but they do take a one or two wears before they “break in”. Very stylish for every day wear or to dress up. I even wore these playing kick ball with my kids, so the soles and bottoms are very sturdy.”

When you’re in the mood for slippers but the day calls for something more posh, go with a sock boot. It’s one of the hottest and best fall boots for women trending this fall, and here’s why: it’s super stylish and comfortable. The leg of the shoe molds to the calf, highlighting its shape and elongating the entire leg. The foot style can vary, but we like the lower heel the Branden High Heel Boots offer. The clean lines of the shoe will complement — not distract — from the rest of your ensemble, and the gold zipper makes them feel a tad more special. They come in black, navy, and burgundy. Sizes go up to 8.5.

When you love the height of a high heel but your feet are sensitive, look for something like the Tom Kelsey Booties. Wedges are much more supportive to high arches or those with plantar fasciitis. What we love about these is that along with being made of suede, they also have a canvas lining. That means your feet won’t sweat puddles, and you’ll stay comfortable even with a thicker pair of socks on. The booties are pull-on, have a rubber outsole, and come in leopard print, cheetah print, and several neutral colors. They’ll easily dress up a basic pair of jeans, and shouldn’t stress your joints if you’re on your feet for a few hours.

Promising review: “I have purchased these in every color. I unfortunately cannot wear heals any more [because] to an old injury, but these wedges don’t bother it at all. They are super comfortable!”

Everyone needs at least one pair of Doc Martens in their closet. They last for years, wipe clean, and are fantastic in wintery conditions. This classic boot has cushion for support and it’s also lightweight to nix extra pressure on the foot. The bottom has an AirWair sole, which has a sturdy tread and is resistant to oil, and other slippery materials. They’re a perfect way to edge up a flouncy dress or skirt, and you can’t go wrong wearing them with jeans.

Promising review: “These boots met all my expectations. I have owned Docs in the past but not recently, so I bought these for myself for my birthday. They look great and fit perfectly (I have large feet). One thing I will mention is as anyone who wears Docs knows, the boots will take about three weeks to fully break… [You] may want to wear them a little at a time until they are broken in to prevent pain or blisters. Otherwise, I highly recommend purchasing them, as once broken in, you can wear them for [ages].”

These Marc Fisher boots were made for walking! Yes, the white boot trend is still trending, and it’s not hard to pull off. The Glorify boots not only feature a sophisticated shape with their pointed toe, but are comfortable. They have a cushioned footbed, a high block heel for stability, and side zipper, which makes pulling them on and off fuss free. They look great when added to a black monochrome outfit, denim, or a printed dress with white elements. Prepare to turn heads as you sashay down the street.

Promising review: “Great quality! Very comfortable and easy to dress up or dress down for a more casual look.”

Getting caught in the rain doesn’t matter when you have these cute Joules Wellibob Short Rain Boots. Even if the day is sunny, you’ll be happy to leave the house in them because of their fun print. They’re also comfy as your favorite slippers, thanks to their faux fur. The Chelsea -style boot’s thick rubber sole makes it great for snow days, and the insole is removable. More than 1,000 folks on Nordstrom love these best fall boots for women. They do not come in half sizes, so the retailer suggests sizing down if you’re an in-between.

Promising review: “These Wellies are so cute and I am really glad I ordered them. They are perfect for taking the dogs out in the [morning] when the grass is wet with dew or after a rain. Easy to slip on and have a fun look. The quality is excellent.”
