The Results Are In—These Are the 30 Best Leather Boots to Buy

As we go deeper into fall and winter starts to get even closer, boots are on heavy rotation in my wardrobe. While I’ve already added a few new seasonal items to my wardrobe (a new puffer and chunky scarf to name a few), my leather boot collection could use a little work. I’ve been wearing the same Zara knee-highs for years and the amount of scuffing is a sheer sign that it’s time for an upgrade. And because I’m in the mood to wear boots exclusively right now (and the weather requires it), I did a market deep-dive for the best options to shop. Our favorite retailers like Net-a-Porter and Shopbop have hundreds of options to sift from, so I narrowed it down to 30 of the very best.

Below, I found a boot for every style preference between sleek knee-highs and chunky combat styles. If you, too, are looking for a winter fashion update, take a peek at this list of robust shopping options. Your wardrobe (and feet) will thank you, and I have no doubt you’ll be wearing your new pick for years to come.
