There are a few wardrobe staples so timeless, we really believe it's worth it to keep buying them (or rather, reinvesting in them) year after year. And one of those tried-and-true styles is none other than the over-the-knee boot — aka the love-it-or-hate-it shoe that has managed to rework its way back into our wardrobes yet again this fall.
The style is a generational staple for a reason — first making waves in the '70s via the funky go-go boots silhouette, then reappearing in the '90s and early aughts in the form of a chunkier iteration. Now, the over-the-knee boot is back in all of its sky-high glory — and it's easy to see why. These sleek shoes are great to wear with just about everything, including skirts and minidresses during colder weather that you can simply pair with tights or leggings.
Need more convincing? Ahead, we curated a list of the hottest over-the-knee boots to make a statement in this fall. With styles from brands like Sam Edelman, Aldo, Cole Haan, Steve Madden, and Franco Sarto, we found tons of options at every price point. Whether you're looking for a relaxed, suede over-the-knee boot or simply a fall-friendly style, we've found it all. Keep reading to shop these over-the-knee boot styles and find your perfect match!

Black Over-the-Knee Boots: Gabrie Over-the-Knee Boots
Looking to embrace an edgier aesthetic this fall? Look no further than these Gabrie Over-the-Knee Boots ($100). The sky-high style will have you turning heads on your next night out and make a seriously sexy statement in any room. Plus, the block heel helps to provide a more supportive (and comfortable!) base.
Suede Over-the-Knee Boots: Sam Edelman Narisa Knee Boot
I'm a sucker for suede, which is why this Sam Edelman Narisa Knee Boot ($79, originally $275) has been at the top of my shoe wish list for a while now. These snug, over-the-knee boots definitely feature a tighter fit, which is perfect for anyone who's struggled with keeping the style up on their leg. And while these over-the-knee boots don't have a full zipper, they're available to shop in two colors: a taupe and matte black design.
Leather Over-the-Knee Boots: Franco Sarto Haleen Over-the-Knee Boot
This wine-hued Franco Sarto Haleen Over-the-Knee Boot ($135, originally $239) is giving the fall-favorite black over-the-knee boot a serious run for its money. Crafted from a 100 percent leather material, the red-hot boot oozes an artisan-inspired flair that's rather unique compared to other styles. Plus, with the golden stud detailing on the bottom, you can easily dress up the over-the-knee boot with your favorite golden accessories and handbags.
Heeled Over-the-Knee Boots: RF Room of Fashion Chateau Over-the-Knee Boots
Take your fall shoe game to new (literal) heights with these towering RF Room of Fashion Chateau Over-the-Knee Boots ($50, originally $130) from Amazon. These breathable boots are wrapped in a soft and stretchy faux suede material that provides more flexibility and wiggle room than the typical boot style — making them especially great for anyone looking to invest in a wide-calf shoe. Did we mention they're also available to shop in over 10 colors?
White Over-the-Knee Boots: Aldo Vonteese Over-the-Knee Boot
The '70s just called, and they want this Aldo Vonteese Over-the-Knee Boot ($220) back. The funky style is giving us major disco vibes, and we're not even mad about it. Not only is the white over-the-knee boot incredibly unique, but with the shoe's eye-catching pyramid heel, it also provides a refreshing and eccentric update to an otherwise classic style.
Flat Over-the-Knee Boots: Public Desire Elle Flat Over the Knee Boots
Contrary to popular belief, a knee-high boot can, in fact, be just as comfortable as it is stylish. With a grounded pair like these Public Desire Elle Flat Over the Knee Boots ($42, originally $56), you can feel good about wearing the shoe on even your longest days outside of the house — thanks to the style's low-rise heel. Plus, they also double as a great affordable option.
Wide-Calf Over-the-Knee Boots: Cole Haan Isabelle Over-the-Knee Boot
There's so much to appreciate about this Cole Haan Isabelle Over-the-Knee Boot ($85, originally $300) style — from the whiskey coloring to the buttery-soft, suede material. But perhaps what appeals to us most of all is that under-$100 price point, which feels nearly impossible to come by with a suede over-the-knee boot like this one.
Brown Over-the-Knee Boots: Stuart Weitzman Over-the-Knee Boot
It doesn't get any sweeter than this dark-chocolate-colored Stuart Weitzman City Stitch Over-the-Knee Boot ($795). Wrapped in a smooth polished leather, the over-the-knee boot feels as luxurious as it looks. From brunch to postwork cocktails and beyond, this is the shoe you'll be wearing on repeat all season long.
Textured Over-the-Knee Boots: Loeffler Randall Whitney Kitten Heel Boots
We can't quite pinpoint what it is, but something about these Loeffler Randall Whitney Kitten Heel Boots ($650) just feels quintessentially fall. The toffee-brown-coloring is so exquisite. And the boot's glossy texture helps to complete the style with a more elevated (and shiny!) flair.
Colorful Over-the-Knee Boots: Staud Wally Boots
Olive green has (rather surprisingly) become my favorite color this year. So naturally, these Staud Wally Boots ($495) are really speaking to me — and if I'm being honest, they're already at the top of my fall shopping wish list. I'd love dressing up the pair with a statement slip for the evenings or a classic khaki pant for daytime wear.
Chunky Over-the-Knee Boots: ASOS Design Kaya Chunky Over-the-Knee Boots
If there was ever a year more primed for chunky boots, it would certainly be this one. Along with a number of other '90s fashion trends, chunky shoes are back in all of their bulky glory — and we have our eyes on these ASOS Design Kaya Chunky Over-the-Knee Boots ($60, originally $80) for fall, in particular. Whether you're styling the boots with a dress or faux-leather pants, the outfit potential is limitless.
