My ankles are already crying over the pain they’re about to endure in a new pair of fall boots. They (my ankles) will have to get some Band-Aids and get over it. Since it’s unfair to try to break in more than one pair of boots a season, but lots of worthy options on the market, we’ve pinpointed some of the hottest trends and boots that are worth the investment.

Ways of the West

If you want a true pair of cowboy boots, this is a great opportunity to shop vintage or thrift - they shouldn’t look fresh out of the box. Or opt for a sleeker boot with Western inspiration like these Khaite boots.

Modern Riding

Oh, how I wish I had held onto my ninth grade riding boots that I convinced my mother would never come back in style. Riding boots are, in fact, back. Equestrian-inspired kicks are the perfect finishing touch to elevate an outfit.

Retro Rewind

As New York City mourns the end of Harry Styles’s Madison Square Garden stint, his retro Gucci-esque moments have made their lasting impact. Try one of these vintage-inspired boots that hint to the ’60s and ’70s without feeling too costumey.

Splurge: Brother Vellies Lauryn Boot, $795 (Brother Vellies)
