Personally, picking out a sleek new pair of boots is my favorite part of the fall season (apart from pumpkin and apple picking of course). There are so many styles to choose from this time of year: ankle booties, high heels, flats, slippers, and more! Here are Her Campus’s 20 favorite boots for this fall:
Under $45
Slipper-Like Booties Are you sick of your classic Uggs? Need a comfy alternative? These Steve Madden booties are a cozy and affordable option. Wear them to class when you’re in a rush or even to the library on a Sunday afternoon.
Steve Madden, $40
What a Stud My next purchase is these Forever 21 Doc Martens-esque studded boots. They go perfectly with my favorite black skinny jeans and plain white tee.
Forever 21, $32.80
Over The Knee Boots If you haven’t been introduced to ShoeDazzle, you’re missing out! There are so many shoes to choose from, like these over-the-knee boots. I love the studs outlining the boots; they’re a great surprise. Shoedazzle, $39.95
Button Up Booties These Payless button-up booties are extremely comfortable and affordable. Wear them with leggings or jeggings to study in.
Payless Shoes, $30.99
Oxford Comma These Oxford-inspired shoes are perfect for fall. Wear them to your internship with a skirt and then go straight out to dinner with friends afterward!
DSW, $44.95

Cuffed Up Kicks I absolutely adore these short sweater-cuffed boots with a buckle. Tuck them into skinny jeans for a more relaxed look or wear them with a floral skirt and blazer on a beautiful fall day.
BDG, $69
Major Moccasins Minnetonka moccasins are timeless booties that will always be in fashion. They’re perfect for class or even to go shopping in!
Minnetonka, $49
Really Relaxed These shoes are great for going out and come in colors like gray, midnight black, and cognac.
Aldo, $60
Fold Over Fabulous Another going-out option on the list are these Steve Madden fold over boots. Wear them with a dress, leggings, or a great pair of jeans and a fancy top.
Steve Madden, $79.95
Glitz and Glitter One of my favorite boots on this list are these Topshop glittered boots. They’re unique, and you definitely won’t find anyone else wearing them on campus.
Topshop, $72

Under $130
Wedge Surprise I personally look for boots that I can wear to class and to a party with my friends that night, like these booties with a vintage woven trim.
Anthropologie, $128
Buckled Booties I love these laidback buckled booties that will go perfectly with my favorite pair of skinny jeans and oversized sweater. If brown isn’t your color, these boots also come in black.
ASOS, $64.57
Heeled Bootie Not all casual boots have to be flat. These BP heeled booties are a perfect example. They’re super cute and even come in black if you want to dress them up more. BP, $99.95
Warm Booties The days are getting chillier, and we need boots to give us some warmth. These Miz Mooz booties have a faux shearling trim and can be worn to class and even to a laidback party. Miz Mooz, $129.95
1970s Booties The styles from the 1970s are back and better than ever. Wear these boots with flared jeans or flowy dresses.
Deena & Ozzy, $129

Under $175
Hiker Heels Okay, so I have to admit you can’t actually hike in these heels. But they’re perfect to go out in. Since they have a heavier look to them, you can wear them with a soft floral dress or skirt or with skinny jeans. Free People, $154
Classic Riding Boot I have to admit, I have only ridden a horse four times and I own a pair of riding pants. I definitely need to buy a pair of riding boots to go with them! These boots are classic and can go with any everyday outfit. Aqua, $199
Lots of Leopard We haven’t seen the last of the leopard pattern yet. These booties are for the fearless and fashion forward.
Sam Edelman, $160
Classic College Although Frye boots are more on the expensive side, these boots are cute, durable, and will last you a long time.
Frye, $198.40
Quilted Boots I see everyone on campus rocking the classic Hunter boots when it’s pouring outside (or even when it’s not). However, these glossy quilted boots are unique and will have heads turning.
Hunter, $175
