To Die For Fall Footwear

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Iowa chapter.

Although I’m sad to see sandal season go, it’s time to break out the boots.  And there’s nothing I love more than whipping out a classic pair of skinny jeans and a tall pair for class or an evening out on the town.  Below are a few of my favorite pairs that you can snag out at the Coral Ridge or Sycamore malls.  Happy shopping ladies…

Chooka “Classy Stripe” Rain Boot

Although fall isn’t considered to be the rainy season, it certainly feels like this one’s been just that.  So since it isn’t quite time for snow, these are perfect to protect your toes during stormy days.  The nautical stripe paired with polka dots is a simple, fun pattern that expresses class and character at the same time.  These are available at Dillard’s in Coralville for $59 or on their website here.


Express Western Ankle Boots
This to die for pair of booties pairs well with denim of almost any kind.  I love this style of shoe because it works on all leg shapes and lengths.  It’s a perfect daytime heel that’ll add some flair to any fall look.  These are available at the Express in the Coral Ridge Mall for $69.90 or online here.  And with free returns or exchanges, how can you possibly resist?


MIA Fav Boot

If you prefer a more edgy look, these are the pair of boots for you.  The faux black suede and silver zipper fold over your ankle, providing a little bit of attitude.  The low heel will make these fair comfortable as well and compatible with many different styles.  You can snag these in Coralville as well at Francesca’s for $58 or on their website here.  


Steve Madden Back Zip Boot

So anyone who’s ever heard me talk about shoes, knows I am entirely in love with anything designed by Steve Madden and these boots are no exception.  Although pricey, they are perfect for any anywhere.  Dress them with jeans or even a vintage dress and you’ll receive compliments galore.  These boots are available in the Sycamore Mall at Von Maur for $199 or on their website here.  You can pay full price now or pray that they go on sale once winter arrives like I will be.
