From embellishments and florals to combat boots and crushed leather, this fall is all about bigger and better. Stay away from basic shoes this season, and go bold with these styles.

 

Combat Boots

 

 

Add some edge to your autumn looks this season with a set of rockstar-worthy combat boots. The embellishments on this pair from Fendi make these boots next-level trendy and will help set you apart from the crowd.

Embellishments

 

 

The more, the merrier is the theme in regard to embellishments on our feet this fall. Don’t worry about how to style them, though. These glitzy mules are still neutral enough to be paired with practically anything.

Ankle-Wrap Heels

 

 

Take your strappy sandals up another notch this season with ankle-wraps. This shoe trend made significant gains in popularity over the summer, and it doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon.

Florals

 

 

Floral prints on our clothing have been hugely popular over the past year, so it was only a matter of time until the trend reached our footwear. And we have zero complaints about it. These embroidered floral flats are the perfect fall fit.

Sneaker Boots

 

 

A bit of bulk doesn’t seem to be an issue this season as the runways saw plenty of sneaker boots in the fall collections. Not only stylish, but they’ll also be sure to keep your feet warm as the temperatures start to drop.

Sky High Platforms

 

 

If you love platform shoes already, you’re going to be on cloud nine about this fall’s sky high take on the trend. Stand a little taller, hold your head a little higher, and prepare to totally kill this look.

Statement Heels

 

 

This fall is all about putting the “heel” in “high heel.” Glamorous and funky shoe stems adorned runways, and we’re totally ready to rock ours.

Thigh High Boots

 

 

The over-the-knee boot look reared its beautiful head last winter, but they’re back this fall and we’re loving it already. But don’t stop at just above your kneecap. This fall is all about bigger and better. Go for a thigh high pair that will really turn heads.

Mary Janes

 

 

Remember when you used to fight your mom when she forced you to slip into your Mary Janes for school picture day? Well now we’re fighting to wear them every day. Mary Janes are back in a big way this fall, and we’re totally head over heels. Pro tip: the more straps, the better!
