The Only Leather Boots You Need to Complete Your Fall Wardrobe
A timeless style you’ll have forever.
When I think of the staple shoe to have for the colder months of the year, leather boots are always what come to mind. I can always rely on them to elevate my outfit and add a polished, finishing touch. In other words, the best leather boots are worthy of a long-term relationship. With each passing year, you’ll find yourself reaching for your favorite pairs, from ultra-cool platform styles to effortless kitten-heel ankle boots—because even as boot trends come and go, leather boots will always be a constant. Of course, if there’s one silhouette to go for, a tall leather boot will never steer you wrong.
To help you find the perfect pair of leather boots, I considered everything: the heel height, toe shape, color, and more. After all, it’s more than just whether or not the shoe fits. So go ahead; take a look at the best styles on the market below—you’re bound to find your perfect match (and maybe another while you’re at it).
