What the reviews say: "I just wore these boots straight out of the box for 10 days in Europe.

Women's Basel Ankle Boot

For a daily shoe that'll match just about any outfit this fall, you can't go wrong with Lucky Brand's Basel Ankle Boot. They are mid-level priced, have a slight 1.5-inch heel, are made from 100% leather, and feature zip-closures so you don't have to hassle with laces.

What the reviews say: "I love the Basel boot. I bought my first pair over a year ago and wore them daily. They just get prettier with age! I like them so much; I bought them in a few different colors. They start to warm up and wrinkle just right around the front of the ankle, developing this lovely, broke-in, soft look. The leather is fine quality! The soles hold up pretty good for plastic. I'm hard on heels, and after a year of frequent wear, it's barely worn down."

Women's Low Block Heel Chelsea Ankle Bootie

Budget-friendly boots can be stylish and durable too. This pair from Soda have a 0.75-inch platform and 1.5-inch heel. They're made from vegan leather and have an elastic side panel that stretches to slip boots on and off.

What the reviews say: "I have just purchased my second pair of these boots. Other ones lasted me about 2 years of constant wear. For the price, you can’t beat that! First pair the soles began to crack across. I would highly recommend them!... I'm an 8.5, which is my true size, and they are a little snug when I wear thicker socks."

Women's Prestyn Pointed Toe Chelsea Booties

If you're looking for a pair of boots to make you feel elegant, stylish, and powerful this fall, we know just the thing. Coach's Prestyn Bootie is made of leather and compares in height to that of a crew sock. Thanks to the pointed toe, you'll look like you have legs for days.

What the reviews say: "Beautiful and comfortable with pointy toes that do not pinch! True to size. So sharp I had to order another pair in black. These boots do hit a little high on my leg, but I’ll adjust and will be looking for a pointy Coach ankle bootie."

Fawne Leather Riding Boots

Ideal for pairing with dresses or tight-fitting jeans, these leather riding boots have elastic near the calf and a half-zipper closure near the inner ankle for easy pull-on. While the boots do have some give, as noted in the reviews, they also come in a wide-calf version.

1460 Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots

Perhaps the longest-standing fall boot on this list, Dr. Martens have been a staple in autumnal fashion for decades. They are tough, durable, and feature a wide, round toe for a comfortable step. For a classic boot that'll never go out of style, these are your best bet.

What the reviews say: "[These] shoes are amazing. They can be hot, sporty, rocky, you name it. You can look good with a dress or with a motorcycle jacket on, leggings, and so forth. I love them. They will never go out of style. These are a must in every wardrobe. The quality is amazing. 100% satisfied."

#585 Men's Classics Chelsea Boots

If you're shopping for fall footwear for your hubby, boyfriend, son, or Dad, we recommend Blundstone's #585 Chelsea Boots. Their rugged, water-resistant, leather style looks great on men of all ages. If he's the outdoorsy type, these will surely hold up against the elements.

What the reviews say: "This is my second pair. The first were identical, and I wore them almost every day for two years. I work in agriculture, so they didn't have a super easy life. This pair will be the same. I clean them up for Sundays but [it] would be perfect if I had a second pair for that. My kids had these and talked me into them, and [I'm] thankful that they did."

Evergreen Women's Ankle Boot

When it comes to comfortable shoes, Vionic is a household name. Their Evergreen boots offer arch support and are designed to alleviate heel pain. The leather makeup and water resistance.

What the reviews say: "I'm in love with these incredibly comfortable boots. They have great arch support and a soft, slightly cushioned footbed. Like most Vionics, they are comfy from the first time you wear them. I have plantar fasciitis and LOVE Vionics shoes for the heel arch support and comfort."

Kids' Side Zipper Combat Boots

A cute pair of boots to last through the fall and winter seasons is a must for kids, too. Since their feet grow rapidly, a pair of budget-friendly shoes is a high priority. This pair from Dream Paris is under $40 and is easy to get on and off because of the zip closure.

What the reviews say: "They are exactly as pictured. My [four-year-old] says they are comfortable. She was able to put them on by herself because of the side zippers. The only issue is because of the color, black rubber on the bottom can scuff off on the actual [shoe] itself making them look a little grungy, but honestly, not [it's] a big deal because it can be wiped right off."

Women's Tarkiln

If you're not a fan of a high, sock-like boot, a pair of ankle booties is the way to go. This option from Born features leather-lined cushioned footbeds and zipper closures. If the red rust color doesn't catch you're eye, the pair is also available in four other colors.

What the reviews say: "I was looking for a different looking boot than the average ankle boot, and I found it! The first time I wore my boots to work, I received many compliments right away. So comfortable and no break-in time needed! I did not have the heel lifting problem many have reported. I have worn them with skinny ankle-type jeans and leggings so far. Both choices look great. The only fault I find is that they are a bit lose at the ankle and sit low on your ankle so your socks will be shown."

Classic Derby Boot - Swirl

For a cool, edgy look to rock this fall, we recommend Fluevog's Derby Boot. Similar to Dr. Martens, the brand has claimed a section of the fashion zeitgeist for decades, meaning the brand is always in style. As countless reviews have mentioned, the Derby Boot will hold up for many years to come, making it a great investment piece.

What the reviews say: "Fluevogs are my absolute favorite! The quality, comfort, and creative designs are everything I look for in a shoe, and these babies never let me down. I’ve been wearing them since I found my first pair at a thrift store 12 years ago."

Women's Duchess Chelsea Ankle Boots

When you think of a fall boot, chances are, you'll think of a Chelsea boot. They're stylish and versatile enough to wear all fall long. What's great about the Thursday Boot Co. boot is that it has an angular toebox that helps elongate the leg for a flattering look. The pair also has leather makeup, shock-absorbing insoles, and rubber outsoles.

What the reviews say: "I've been looking for a Chelsea that I like for a while. I don't love a very wide ankle shaft, but I also don't want a boot that is impossible to put on and remove. These boots fit the bill perfectly! As I break them in more, slipping them on and off will be even easier. I love that the shaft is about an inch higher than any of my other boots, so they are perfect for wearing socks with skinny jeans without looking ridiculous. These were comfortable right from the start without an official break-in period."

The Glove Boot

Looking for a fashionable fall heel? Look no further than Everlane's The Glove Boot. It has a 2-inch heel and is made of a stretchy polyester, nylon, and elastane blend that will mould to fit your foot. Did we mention it's sustainable too? Each pair is created from nine renewed plastic bottles.

What the reviews say: "I bought these because I wanted a polished-looking boot that I could wear with jeans without it poking out. These are wonderful in that regard and so much more. I'd say they fit true to size; if you are in between, order a 1/2 size up so you can wear [them] easily with socks. Very comfortable and a comfortable heel height. Can easily be dressed up or down for a casual or dressy look."

Kelso Boot

The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) awarded Revitalign's Kelso Boot the seal of good foot health. It features a soft suede upper and orthotic cushioning for a comfortable step. To ensure the suede material holds up for years to come, consider sealing it with a suede protectant spray.

What the reviews say: "The suede feels velvety and high-quality. They are true-to-size and felt comfortable right out of the box. The insole is removable, but it is very supportive with good arch support. The sole has great traction, and I love that it is a low heel."

Women's Linden Woods Boot

Need a heavy-duty boot to stand up against muddy pumpkin patches, leaf-spotting hikes, and early winter weather? Let us introduce Timberland's Linden Woods Boot. The durable shoe is waterproof, has an insulated lining, and features rust-proof hardware.

What the reviews say: "I bought these boots a couple weeks ago. They fit great and are awesome for outdoors. They look rugged while still looking stylish and cute. Great boot for fall and outdoor activities."

Women's Original Chelsea Rain Boot

These waterproof rubber boots can go toe-to-toe with rain, snow, slush, and more. The elastic side panels make for an easy pull-on and the fabric-lined inside for a comfortable fit. The boot has a 1-inch heel to slightly elevate wearers through snow, mud, and grime.

What the reviews say: "I’ve wanted Hunter boots forever, but I’m a Duck Boot devotee. When I saw these at DSW in the ankle boot style, AND in navy (my fave!) I knew I needed them. Not only are they adorable, but they’re functional, and comfortable. They contour to your foot, keep your feet warm and dry, and are easy to put on, which I find is a huge issue with many brands of rain boots. Love these & would definitely purchase again!"

They are extremely comfortable to wear, considering they have a sizeable heel. They are very stylish, and you'll be sure to get a lot of compliments on them! For $30, these boots are definitely worth the money! I have worn them many times since Halloween and have even worn them to a country music festival in a field, and still don't have any wear and tear! They clean up super well too!"

Rometty Wyoming Leather Platform Chelsea Boots

A chunky platform boot gives you the benefits of a high heel (height) without the discomfort. This pair of Wyoming Dr. Martens has just over an inch of platform and 2.25 inches of heel height. They marry the durable edginess of a combat boot with the sleek style of a Chelsea boot.

What the reviews say: "I was worried that I’d feel like I was wearing KISS boots, but I just feel cool. (I recognize that as a 49 yo working mother of 4, I am not “cool” but at least my shoes don’t have to remind me). I put my favorite running insoles in all my shoes (often moving the same pair of insoles [from] shoe to shoe), and it makes the fit perfect and my back and feet comfortable standing all day. "
