I am a contributor who has been writing for the BuzzFeed Shopping team since 2021, covering just about everything: home goods, beauty, fashion, gift guides, practical life hacks, tech, travel, personal wellness, and big sales events.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

1. A pair of penny leather riding boots available in either a sleek black or rich caramel brown, either of which is neutral enough to go with just about all your favorite fall 'fits and will look absolutely bangin'. Fall truly is the best time of year for strutting around in boots like these, so take advantage!

Zappos

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love these boots and they are a must for fall! I will be wearing these all the time." —Anonymous

Get them from Zappos for $200 (available in sizes 5–12 and two colors).

2. A pair of suede clogs because your fall outfits sure won't know the difference between these and the expensive Birks version — and neither will your feet! Lots of reviewers find these comparable in terms of comfort and support. But you know what will be a noticeable difference? How much less money comes out of your bank account to pay for them! In fact, with the money you save, you could buy yourself a few pairs of cozy wool socks to wear with these!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Excellent option for fall!! These shoes are amazing quality — seriously impressed! They’re super comfortable, well-made, and look just like the name brand, if you catch my drift!! 👀✨ Such a great find for the price. Highly recommend! Not too stiff, comfortable for most people. Wider fit… which I like!" —Lacey Turman

Get them from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in women's sizes 5.5–14, men's sizes 4–12.5, and in 12 colors).

3. A pair of classic Blundstone boots, which are the epitome of fall footwear in my book. Rugged aesthetic? Check. Able to handle various terrain and weather conditions? Check again. Comfy with thin *or* thick socks? Check and CHECK. I have been counting down the seconds until it's cold enough to start wearing these again — and if you need some outfit inspo, allow me to suggest jeans/leggings, a long-sleeve shirt (flannel encouraged!), fun patterned socks, and a vest... with your Blundstones, of course!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "So, I've had these now for 18 months, and they are my daily shoes for work and weekend. I wear them fall/winter/spring. They are holding up great, getting more and more comfortable, and wearing nicely." —MyRealReview

"Comfortable, functional, stylish. Can wear these boots all day when sightseeing in NYC in fall and winter." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $219.95+ (available in women's sizes 6–16, men's 4–14, and 10 colors/styles).

4. A pair of quilted sneakers featuring memory foam insoles beneath that stylish exterior, because you deserve to look and feel like a million bucks. Plus, reviewers say they can be worn with no-show socks or slightly thicker "everyday" socks when the weather gets a bit crisper.

www.amazon.com

Psst! Some reviewers say these shoes run big and recommend ordering a size down.

Promising review: "I was worried these might be too stiff, but they aren't. I got them for the fall to play with my dog in the yard and to bring to the parks (both can be dirty and muddy living in NE), but these are waterproof and are super easy to clean. Love the way they look with a pair of jeans and with black leggings." —Erika

"I keep buying a fresh pair annually to wear as my go-to shoe! I love them! Perfect for fall." —Jodi

Get them from Amazon for $30.66+ (available in sizes 6–11, wide sizes, and in 11 colors).

5. A chunky ankle boot boasting over 10,000 5-star ratings and an under-$50 price tag, which means it's safe to assume you won't be disappointed. Folks say they're super comfy and supportive, easy to ~strut~ about in, and unbelievably stylish.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "These are literally the best purchase of shoes I've ever made from Amazon! For starters, I was looking for a pair of black Chelsea booties, these are true to the color of black. There is no zipper, but it’s a Chelsea boot! They can be hard to put on when you first get them, but over time, they’re super easy to put on and start walking. They’re a literal 10 in my books!! Get them now!!! The tread on the bottom is literally perfect for the fall and winter time!!" —Kendall

"I'm obsessed with these... They fit perfectly.... They are SO COMFY.... I wore them out all night, and I am usually a wimp when it comes to wearing heels out, but I had no problem with these. I can wear them to work or out for literally any occasion. Very good fall boot staple!" —Caleigh

Get them from Amazon for $44.98+ (available in sizes 5.5–12, including wide fits, and 15 colors/styles).

6. A pair of slip-on faux fur–lined loafers since they're the high-fashion equivalent of your fave pair of slippers. Easy on, easy off, super comfy and cozy, yet stylish enough to leave the house in! Make this autumn your ~Gucci era~... on a budget. 😉

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Even if these weren't a Gucci alternative, I'd love them. The quality, fit, and feel of these shoes are so much better than I expected. I've only had them for a week, but have worn several times already and love the way they look with my fall outfits." —Renee Austin

Get them from Amazon for $52.55+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in 13 colors).

7. A pair of Thursday lace-up boots because they're sleek and utterly badass, aka the power boot you need to banish your end-of-summer blues.

Amazon

Reviewers recommend ordering a size up for a more comfortable fit. 

Promising review: "Really looking forward to fall! These boots are seriously pretty in person. The leather is lovely, and I love that the sole gives them an edgy look. The quality makes these feel like a steal. The zippers are smooth, solid, and easy to use without feeling cheap or prone to snagging like some boots I've owned. I'd also say these are true to size! Between the look and the feel, these have me actually excited for cooler weather to roll around so I can start wearing them more. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $180+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and three colors/styles).

8. Or, a pair of Clarks leather loafers if you'd rather wear something with virtually no heel. These boast the same high-quality construction and comfortable feel the brand is known for, alongside a sleek, business-casual aesthetic. Great for wearing to work, dinner reservations, shopping trips, and more.

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Clarks are always good quality. These were no exception, with a comfortable leather upper, good support and fit, and casual good looks. Great price, too. Delivered promptly. So glad to get a beautiful pair of go-to casuals for fall and winter... Love the side zipper." —Dolly

"They're a good-looking shoe. These are my go-tos when the temps drop in fall and winter. I get many compliments." —L***Y

Get them from Amazon for $79.99 (available in sizes 5–12, narrow, wide, and extra-wide sizes, and in two colors).

9. Some knee-high kitten heel boots sure to fool everyone into thinking you must be some kind of celebrity or famous person — and y'know what? Let 'em think so! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Best boots for fall. Stylish, comfortable, and perfect for fall! I absolutely love these knee-high boots! The heel gives just the right amount of height without being uncomfortable — I wore them all day at work, and my feet didn’t hurt at all. The material feels high-quality, and the fit is true to size... They look amazing with dresses and skinny jeans. I’ve already gotten several compliments on them. Definitely worth the price!" —Jennifer Brady

Get them from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and in seven colors).

10. A pair of platform lace-up oxfords so you can live out your fall-in-New-England Gilmore Girl fantasy... or at least dress the part. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely love these shoes...100% worth more than what you pay... I wear them dressed up for work or down with any style jean/chino regularly. I do tend to wear these a lot more in the winter/fall as they really pull together a basic sweater outfit. Add a belt and these shoes [and] you will look effortlessly chic. I remember being very surprised at how comfortable, lightweight, and flexible the shoe is to the point I have worn them all day walking in Europe, the same as I would a Nike sneaker." —Alysen of Houston

Get them from Amazon for $35.98+ (available in sizes 5–10 and in 11 colors).

11. Some stretchy knit booties since they're polished and chic, but also a bit edgy with that lug sole. In other words, these boots are the perfect complement to just about any mood, ranging from sassy to laidback 'n' low key.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve been searching high and low for a pair of rugged but fashionable fall boots, and these are the ticket. They look great, and more importantly, they are comfortable. My feet are a little wide, and these are comfortable, not too tight. Get them!" —Cabra

Get them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and eight colors).

12. A cute and casual Sperry sneaker to take you through the summer-fall transition time with a bit of Maritime-inspired style. Another bonus? It comes with a removable footbed for added arch support.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Ordered on advice of 30-year-old daughter. Great advice. Simple, classic, stylish, AND inner sole has enough cushion for daily errand running after two knee surgeries. This is great. These were good for late summer into early fall." —SDot

Get them from Amazon for $44.90+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and in 13 colors).

13. Simply iconic Dr. Martens Chelsea boots (with slip-resistant soles!) so a little thing called "the unpredictable fall weather" doesn't cramp your ~sassy 'n' fierce~ aesthetic. You truly can't go wrong with Docs. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Many reviewers say these run big, so consider sizing down!

Promising reviews: "So happy with these. They’re so cute and the perfect fall boot... Wore them a whole six-hour shift and didn’t get uncomfortable until the last hour, no blisters lol. I was a bit worried since Docs are notoriously bad to break in." —Holly Gibilterra

"My new fall favorite. Love these boots!! If you are on the fence, get them. I ordered a pair of traditional Docs and they hurt my feet so bad, but not these. I have worn them twice now, once to a farmers market and once to a backyard party, and they are so comfortable... I have worn them with jeans and a dress, and they are just so comfortable and make any outfit super stylish. Highly recommend these boots!" —BONNIE TWOMEY

Get it from Amazon for $116.48+ (available in sizes 5–11 and two styles). 

14. A pair of penny clogsfrom Rothy's if you want an office-acceptable pair of slippers, cause that's essentially what these are. They're velvety soft (thanks to the knit that's made from 100% recycled plastic bottles) with a contoured footbed that basically feels like a cloud. 😍

Rothy's

Promising reviews: "These are so comfy and I can’t wait for cooler weather so I can wear these all day. True to size. Soft, supportive foot bed with arch support. These will be a fall/winter staple and something different than Birks" —Hanna K.

"So comfy and stylish. These are hands-down the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! I’m gonna try not to wear them every day this fall!! But I might!" —April V.

Get them from Rothy's for $160 (available in sizes 4–13 and in five colors/styles).

15. Waterproof Kodiak leather boots, because per the reviewer below, "they are so cute to transition from trail to town." So if your fall bucket list has everything from visiting a cozy cafe to a leaf-peeping nature walk, you'll likely want these on your feet.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising reviews: "These are by far my favorite hiking boots. I bought them for a trip out to Colorado and Wyoming in the fall. Walked a lot of miles in these (yellowstone, grand tetons, rocky mountains), and they are so cute to transition from trail to town." —Amazon Customer

"These are a good fall/winter boot. They are a little stiff out of the box and the insulation makes them feel snug but they are comfortable and warm. They look good too. They are the nicest boots I've bought in a long time." —Bobby and MA Dixon

Price: $99.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors)

16. A pair of *the* Ugg slippers, which you've probably seen all over the internet (and probably IRL) since more and more celebs, influencers, and college students are sporting these ridiculously soft, cozy, and supportive gems. Well, I'm here to tell you that the hype is 100% worth it. You will have zero regrets about having these on your feet come fall and winter.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "A must-have for fall/winter! I have these in three colors after wearing alternatives for years, and oh my gosh… why did I wait so long to get the Ugg brand?!? SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE!! They offer decent support in the arch, and they’re slip-resistant too. The bottom grips well, and I don’t slide in the rain/wet. They’re thick and warm; the fur is so soft. I see these lasting a lifetime. They are my first pair of Uggs that were not a hand-me-down, and the value for the money is incredible. They’re durable, stylish, comfortable… a total win and worth every penny in my opinion." —KD Mitchell

Get them from Amazon for $129.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and in 16 colors).

17. A pair of short platform boots for when you want to bring some DRAMA... to your outfit, that is. Lots of reviewers say they were happily surprised to discover how lightweight and comfortable they feel despite the chunky appearance. Permission to stomp around the pumpkin patch with attitude, GRANTED!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "They’re exactly what I wanted for a concert. Very comfortable! Even during the first wear. My feet got tired after five hours in the shoes, but thankfully it was a seated concert, so I could sit whenever my feet needed a break…they’re definitely going to be my go-to fall/autumn shoes. They're so beautiful." —irene

Get them from Amazon for $51.43+ (available in sizes 5.5–10 and four colors/styles).

18. A pair of duck boot loafers that'll quickly become your go-to footwear for walking the dog, checking the mailbox, taking out the trash, and other outdoor errands this fall. They're anti-slip and totally waterproof, so you won't have to fret about mud, either.

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Joanna Gaines was wearing something similar, that’s why I bought them. Vanity. They’ve become more than just fashion. They’re rain shoes, slippers, walking-in-the-fall shoes — they are my absolute favorite pair of shoes." —Kay

"These are the perfect fall dog-walking shoes. So cute and comfortable." —Katie Collins

Get them from Amazon for $39.59 (available in sizes 6–11, with or without a lining, and in six colors).

19. A pair of combat boots if your personal style is best described as pop-punk. These are just the edgy-chic fall footwear companion you've been waiting for.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought these to replace some knock-off Doc Martens I had before, so they are versatile with many outfits — especially this past fall and winter. So far, these have been comfortable, great during winter at work and at home, and while a little stiff at first, they do get some flexibility over time.

I have yet to slip, they wash off and clean easily, and the zipper glides well — no sticking or sock issues. They are kind of heavy, but not in a bad way. More like taking off the thick boots after a long day of work. It’s a sign of quality and not being poorly made." —Valerie Mills

Get them from Amazon for $34.90+ (available in sizes 5.5–10 and in three colors).

20. A platform penny loafer so you can swap out your go-to summer flats for something more substantial and fall-appropriate. Lots of reviewers mention that they're comfy and easy to break in while pairing with all kinds of different outfits!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Great fall/winter loafer. Comfortable loafers with substantial lug sole." —Nicole N.

"Beautiful shoes. Outstanding comfort and fall-stylish." —S Davis

Get them from Amazon for $40.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 14 colors).

21. A pair of slouchy cowboy boots ready to dance to your favorite country music playlists, Noah Kahan's new album, or even do "The Monster Mash." But if dancing ain't your thing, these are worth the investment for fashion alone. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "If you don't order these, then you are missing out! You and your closet need them. They are truly the perfect addition to your fall wardrobe!! They are true to size and comfortable to wear for long periods of time." —Sarahk81

"These are great for fall, super comfy, and true to size. Very stylish and doesn’t look cheap, even though they had a great price." —Wonder Woman

Get them from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and eight colors).

22. Thigh-high boots to slip on with a dress, skirt, or even a pair of leggings for an extra fiery 'fit. One reviewer calls them a "MUST-have fall accessory." 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "OK, these are a must-have for fall! Super cute and comfortable. They do NOT slide down like some other over-the-knee boots I've owned. Just a pure joy to put on." —Ksinea

Get them from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and 18 colors).

23. A pair of affordable faux fur-lined suede booties from Project Cloud — and yes, they really *do* feel like a cozy cloud on your feet! Lots of reviewers swear by these as house shoes for the colder months, but just as many love 'em as casual out-and-about shoes, too.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These have been so great for the fall and winter!!! I’m loving these and how they’re holding up. Super soft inside that keeps me warm... So comfortable and feels like a hug for my feet. It’s so easy to slip on and off." —S.K.M.

Get them from Amazon for $59.90+ (available in sizes 5.5–12, including wide sizes, and in 20 colors).

24. A pair of New Balance 574 sneakers so you can stroll amongst the falling leaves with a bit of retro-inspired style (and comfort, of course). They're made from a rubber-mesh outsole that's the perfect weight and thickness for fall temps.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "These were bought for myself because I wanted another pair of New Balance... In my opinion, these are super nice, especially during this time of the year for fall months and winter months, because of the nice material on the shoe." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $80.43+ (available in sizes 5–12, wide sizes, and in five colors).

25. A quilted duck boot to keep your feet as ~snug as a bug in a rug~ on long commutes in icky wet weather, thanks to the micro-fleece lining and waterproof outer. Plus, the soles are specifically engineered to provide good grip in slick conditions. While they do come in a few solid colors, I highly recommend one of the plaid options for maximum fall vibes. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are the most comfortable, durable, weather-appropriate, waterproof, stylish, well-designed, great-fitting boots I have ever purchased and owned!! Wonderful buy. These are great for chilly, wet fall days and freezing cold, snowy winter days. They’ve held up great and are my favorite pair of boots. Great boots!!" —jennifer grace

Get them from Amazon for $56.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and nine colors/patterns).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m not generally a heels kind of girl because A) I’m already tall and B) I walk in them like a newborn deer. But these were super cute, and they are wedges, so I don’t have to worry about being off balance. I absolutely love them, super comfortable and a great staple for any fall wardrobe!! Love pairing them with some faux leather leggings and an oversize sweater!" —Kylie

Get them from Amazon for $45.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors).
