The Best Fall and Winter Boots

by | Style, Thanksgiving Style | 3 comments

With Fall in full swing, it is officially boot and booties season. Investing in a comfortable pair of boots or booties makes all the difference. The right pair of boots can be dressed up or down, worn with jeans or a dress, and ultimately become the easiest decision you make when getting dressed. I’m sharing the best Fall and Winter boots for 2023 below with my favorite styles, brands, and more!

My Current Favorite Boots
These gorgeous boots are my current favorite for the second year in a row.  They are classic, versatile and very comfortable.  I’ve also ordered them in black.  They sold out quickly last year and I’m so glad they are restocked.  You’ll be pleased with the quality of these boots!

Best Selection
Nordstrom has the biggest and best selection of boots and booties! From carrying larger sizes to having extended calf options and multiple widths to choose from, they have options for everyone. In addition, I love that they offer free shipping and free returns. This way you can purchase multiple pairs and return what doesn’t work either in-store or by shipping it back!
Best New Boot Brand
Shoe designer Sarah Flint also makes boots! If they are anything like her heels that have a cult following, then they are worth every penny. I’m loving this style and this style from her boot collection.

Best Boots to Buy on Sale
A classic style you can wear for years or a trend you want to try are the best to buy on sale.  Nordstrom has a large selection of boots and booties on sale like the two boots above!  They have classic styles that you can wear for years to come in addition to trendier boots, as well.

Best Waterproof Boots
If you’re looking for a comfortable pair of waterproof boots or booties, I highly recommend the brands Blondo and Aquatalia. These boots have an AquaProtect seal on them that protects the outside and keeps them looking great, even if you get caught in the rain or walk through the slush. One of the biggest perks is that this brand is known for how comfortable their boots are in addition to not requiring any breaking-in.
Best Over The Knee Boot
The most popular over-the-knee boots for women for years has been the Stuart Weitzman 5050 boot. They have a huge following and thousands of rave reviews. Along with a cushioned footbed, the stylish boots have a soft leather lining, an easy-to-pull-on silhouette, and a durable rubber outsole.

Best Boots For Cold Days
When the weather is chilly and all you want to reach for are cozy items to keep you warm, you can’t go wrong with a pair of Uggs, Sorel or Pajar. These are great boots for all ages and will be in your closet for years to come. If you don’t have a pair of Uggs yet, I highly recommend going for a neutral like black, grey, or chestnut so that it will go with everything. The best part though is that they now make a waterproof version!  These Sorel Joan of Arctic and Pajar Grip are my favorite cold-weather boots.  My girls have them, too.  I wear them often during winter soccer season as well as around town!

No matter the style or brand, I highly recommend having at least one pair of black boots and one pair of brown boots in your wardrobe. These two neutral colors pair with everything and will become closet staples during cold weather!

Do you have a favorite boot brand? I’d love to know what it is! I’m always looking for new ones to try and share about.

    Good morning—

    Would you mind sharing the brand of the sweater that you are wearing with the brown corduroy skirt?
    I know you posted a similar style but I just love the sweater.

      Hi Sharon,
      It is from last fall and by a company called Co. It has a great tattered hem detail. I wish it was still available for you!

    If one is *trying* to embrace the non-skinny jean trend, what boots do you recommend?!? I’ve only been able to make flats work.
