Over-the-Knee Boots
A mainstay in some of our closets, these sexier tall boots are about to get some serious street cred this season, thanks to a resurgence on the runway. Not the supersultry type? Opt for a flat pair or wear yours over jeans and with a slouchy sweater to temper the statement-making vibe.

Lug Soles
Lug soles aren't just for tough-girl boots anymore. The runways delivered the rugged soles on everything from a great cutout bootie to a more sophisticated lace-up — and we loved every iteration.

Lace-Ups
It's amazing how small details, like tie-up straps, can have such an impact on your outfit, but buy a pair, and we swear you'll see how a sexy pair of lace-ups impacts your style immediately. Test-drive a lace-up pump at the office or add a lace-up bootie your weekend — regardless of how you wear them, they're always a standout piece.
