It’s officially boot season—which means it’s time to start styling fall outfits around arguably one of the best accessories to wear during the cooler months. From standby classics to new names (you might know, but definitely should), we have curated the best boot brands for fall, all in one place. Here, you’ll find an assortment ranging from minimalist-forward flat styles, made for everyday wear or a long commute, to the sky-high knee-high boots you’re going to want to slip into for evenings out.

Vogue’s Favorite Boot Brands for Fall:

Investing in the best fall boots is always a smart move—after all, they end up generally seeing wear for nearly six months (or more!) out of the year, if you count those transitional moments in between. Stock up on modern styles with the editor stamp-of-approval, such as the Davis from Khaite or Toteme’s croc-effect knee-high, plus celebrity go-tos, like those zipped lug-sole boots from The Row that both Dakota Johnson and Zoë Kravitz swear by.

And don’t think that the best bootmakers can only be found in the luxury department. You’ll find signature styles from By Far, Aeyde, and Staud (the Wally has become a true closet classic over the years), all within the contemporary space, offering great quality at the mid-tier price point, and a few under-$300 options from Everlane and Cos, another great resource for durable, quality leather pieces—IYKYK—that will get years of wear.

Below, fill your fall footwear closet with these staples from the best boot brands we can’t recommend enough.

Khaite

If you ask any Vogue editor about their personal favorites, the answer will most likely be a pair of boots from Khaite. The Davis knee-high boot has been a constant in the brand’s offerings for years, featuring the signature, curved kitten-heel, while shorter bootie takes, also in leather, such as the Nevada, are easy to style with denim, mini and maxi skirts, or tailored trouser pants.

Toteme

You’ve probably spotted Toteme’s knee-high boots on many a Fashion Week showgoer—with a distinct croc-embossed finish that is instantaneously recognizable. However, there’s more to love within their boot lineup. The secret is the brand’s Scandinavian sensibility, featuring minimalist-forward designs with extreme versatility, for styling every type of fall look. (One look at their pull-on ankle pulls and you’ll immediately get why.)

The Row

Another editor-favorite brand—with the celebrity stamp of approval—is none other than The Row. Their platform zip-front boots are both on Vogue wish lists, and regularly seen on the feet of some seriously stylish individuals (namely Dakota Johnson and Zoë Kravitz). Newer styles like the Carla, keep perfectly in-line with the fashion house’s core codes, where luxury and minimalism always intersect.

Aeyde

Founded in 2015 in Berlin by Luisa Dames, Aeyde is a contemporary accessories brand with a focus on clean footwear designs and sustainable production practices. Enduring classics include the Willa over-the-knee boots and the Millie ankle booties—both easy to style with everything from sweeping dresses or soft tailoring—are perennially offered in the brand’s seasonal collections.

Staud

Staud is known for trend-forward accessories at an attainable price point, with the Wally boot being their hero shoe. With no less than fifteen variations on the original knee-high silhouette, you’ll find it in smooth leather, sumptuous suede, and even embossed prints—plus, newer riffs including a shorter bootie, a Western-inspired take, and even a streamlined flat shape.

Gucci

Leather goods is really where Gucci has historically excelled, and even though you may have already invested in a pair of loafers or sneakers along the way, their fall boot collection is not to be missed. Here, you’ll always find horse-bit trimmed styles, inspired by the luxury brand’s lasting legacy and dedication to craftsmanship, whether that be a heeled riding boot or a suede lug-soled boot, playing with the fundamentally classic ideas.

Stuart Weitzman

Investing in a boot from Stuart Weitzman is a no-brainer; they’ve been specializing in footwear since 1986. Core styles include the 5050, a stretch-leather, over-the-knee boot with a walkable heel and leg-lengthening proportions (something that has remained within the permanent collection since the ’90s), with newer styles like the Vinnie Sculpt becoming fast favorites, thanks to impeccable craft.

Paris Texas

A Milan-based label, inspired by the ease of the Parisian attitude towards style, with a touch of free-spirited nature that comes from Texas, these boots are a go-to for celebrities such as Dua Lipa and Hailey Bieber. Lean into snakeskin-embossed prints (which the brand has always featured, but they happen to be a major, fall 2025 footwear trend), or go for the simplicity of a sky-high heeled option.

Gianvito Rossi

As far as luxury shoe brands go, the Italian-based Gianvito Rossi remains a top contender, favored by celebrities and stylists alike on the red carpet. However, we recommend leaning into their subdued boot silhouettes for every day. Suede kitten-heeled boots or classic Chelsea styles are tried-and-true options that will only get better with each wear, thanks to Italian-made craft and quality.

Saint Laurent

You’ll of course find a range of boot styles within Saint Laurent women’s offerings, but here’s where we recommend really going for the height factor. There is truly nothing like a stiletto heel, the Saint Laurent way, whether that be a polished black leather boot that hugs the ankle, or a sumptuous suede knee-high (complete with a nearly 4-inch heel), inspired by the brand’s extensive archive.

Jimmy Choo

Take on fall outfitting with boot styles that will remain in your closet forever. Jimmy Choo’s Cece boots are made from soft leather, a brand signature, with a walkable heel height and slight Western flair, perfect for pairing with corduroys or of-the-moment dresses. Or try one of their iconic, heeled knee-high boots in a trending color of the season—rich burgundy.

Cos

High-quality boots don’t have to cost a fortune—and that’s what you’ll discover with COS. Count on clean and classic silhouettes, like flat riding styles that will never lose their cool factor, or a timeless Chelsea boot with simple detailing, within the edit of minimalist-friendly picks. They’re all also produced mindfully, in partnership with the Leather Working Group.

Everlane

Affordable and durable boot options for fall are plentiful at Everlane—and theirs are actually comfortable. Cushioned foam midsoles and insoles will have you walking for miles, in modern silhouettes you actually want to wear. Think: winter boots with stylish flair or a suede ankle boot with the subtlest heel. These versatile picks will complete your fall shoe closet in no time, without breaking the bank.

Dear Frances

Dear Frances was founded by Creative Director Jane Frances and husband Scott O’Connor in 2016. Dreaming up contemporary styles with modern appeal is the foundation for the brand, which pulls influences from fine art and sculpture. Standby styles include the Harlie boot, handcrafted in Italy from the softest leathers, along with trend-forward takes, such as the Balla bootie—a casual boot with a surprising twist.
