While cowboy boots might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think of fall, they are fast becoming one of the hottest shoe trends of 2022. With a rich history in the ‘wild west, they are more commonly associated with the country music scene. In addition to their historical significance, they also served a practical purpose by preventing people from slipping during horse rides by gripping the saddle footrest.
Typically priced a little more than most boots, with price comes quality. Cowboy boots are often made from high-quality leather and that’s another reason why you should expect to have them for a long time. This Cowboy boot style gives your legs a distinct look and can offer a comfortable fit if you pick the right size. First of all, don't try to estimate your shoe size based on a pair of sneakers or other shoes. Instead, measure your foot's length and width and purchase the corresponding size.
During the first few wears, expect the heel to slide since the outsole hasn't been broken in yet. It's normal to have the heel slide by a quarter of an inch to a half inch.
Biker Boots

Biker boots combine aspects of a combat boot with a little more edge, think a classic with innovative features. The practicality of this style is that it can be worn with many different outfits from dresses to leggings, depending on how bold you want to go with your look. Another great thing about biker boots is they can be worn in multiple seasons by simply changing what they are paired with. Think jeans and parka in winter and shorts and shirt in summer.
Sock boots: Booties & Thigh highs

In addition, they will keep your feet warm during those cooler fall days and are so versatile both styles can be paired with dresses or shorts, the thigh highs offering enough coverage to prevent freezing.
What makes them so flattering is their ability to visually emphasize the leg's silhouette. For the boots to be the star of your outfit, we recommend pairing them with more subtle pieces.
Earth Tone boots
