To say I have a lot of boots would be an understatement. Not only do I love them when Fall rolls around, but I'm also a shopping editor. Yes, it's literally my job to hunt for the best pairs. Over the past few years, I would say I've personally tried on a couple hundred designs. It's important for each pair to tick all my boxes: stylish, sturdy, and comfortable. Any missing element is a dealbreaker.

If you want to know my top recommendations for the season, I've created a guide to all the boots that should be on your radar. From on-trend white booties to a Western style, there's sure to be something that catches your eye. Read my reviews, and consider a new pair for yourself. I've tested them all, so they're purchases you can feel confident about.

Editor's Pick: The Western Boot

I opt for these boots constantly — the photo above shows them after over a year of wear. Yes, they stay in great condition. I wanted a Western style that's still versatile enough to wear with both dresses and jeans; this design fits the bill. Plus, they're incredibly comfortable. I can walk all over the city in these shoes without so much as an ounce of discomfort. I would consider these boots my everyday go-tos.

These buttery-soft booties are one of the most comfortable pairs I have ever tried on — no joke. They hug your feet without constricting them, and the two-inch heel height is just right. The white boot trend is staying strong this season, and this pair is perfection. This design is an investment worth every penny.
