Our fall shoe edit is here with the forty hottest and best shoes of the season! We found the top picks from our favorite 5 trends: over-the-knee boots, booties, cut-outs, pointed-toe pumps, and shoes that sparkle. Time to trade in those summer sandals for some of the shoes on this list!
Over-the-knee boots: autumn and winter’s response to summer’s bare legs. Over-the-knee boots arguably have the most sex appeal of any shoe because they mimic the style of garter belts and stockings while not giving anything away. They look best styled with minis, shorts, and skinny jeans/leggings.
Jimmy Choo, gypsy knee high boots, Vivienne Westwood, Heaven II boots, Casadei, Knee high stiletto boots, Valentino, leather over-the-knee animalia boots, Mark jacobs, Suede over-the-boots, Stuart Weitzman, Quiltboot, Stuart Weitzman, Suede highland boot, Charlotte Olympia, Prosperity silk satin boots
Booties: Booties are perfect for those fall days that aren’t quite cold enough for boots but not warm enough to let your toes bare to the cold air. Booties can be paired with practically any outfit and can be dressed up or down effortlessly!
Valentino, Rockstud ankle boots, Sergio Rossi, I Fleur ankle boots, Lanvin, Crocodile effect ankle boots, Stuart Weitzman, the carltone bootie, APC, Leather ankle boots, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Embossed leather monk-style ankle boots, Valentino, Rockstud leather boots T.55, Jimmy Choo, mayor suede 85mm wedge ankle boots
Cut outs: Sometimes autumn outfits get a bit predictable: jeans, long-sleeve shirt, jacket (repeat). Cut-0ut shoes are great for amping up any outfit without drawing too much attention/putting you at risk of being overdressed. They make any outfit edgier and, for the most part, tend to be extremely practical.

Pointed-toe pumps: Pointed-toe pumps are still at the forefront of fall footwear. In summer they overtook the platforms and stomped all over the rounded-toe and this season (thankfully) no one seems to be able to let them go! They are getting a bit of a makeover, though, with the new fall prints and styles. And we’re loving it.

Shoes that sparkle: Whether by embellishments, sequins, gold plates, or gold foil, these shoes are meant to be seen. While they serve the same purpose of spicing up your fall wardrobe as the cut-outs, the fundamental difference is that these shoes draw attention to themselves- and to you!
