We always have our eye on the biggest boot trends for fall and this season, one style is winning out: chunky boots. While they have been a favorite in past seasons, they were spotted all over the F/W 22 runways and the new arrivals sections at all of our favorite retailers are heavily stocked with the trend. They’re already a favorite among the fashion set but we’re predicting they’ll be even more popular this fall.
Not only is the boot style fashion-forward, but it’s also comfortable. Finished with platforms or thick lug soles, these shoes put a cool spin on flat boots. With styles ranging from high-leg Chelsea boots to Wellingtons to equestrian styles, there is sure to be a silhouette that you’ll want to add to your shopping cart. Ahead, see how chunky boots were styled on the F/W 22 runways and get inspiration for how to wear them from the fashion set.
