There’s something about the arrival of fall that makes us want to refresh our wardrobes from the ground up–and a new pair of boots is a pretty good place to start. From knee-high silhouettes to everyday Chelsea boots, the right pair can instantly make your favourite jeans and sweaters feel ready for the season. Ahead, seven must-have fall boots from brands including Coach, UGG and Quince, plus a few more styles worth stepping into this season.
The perfect knee-high
DREAM PAIRS Knee High Kitten Heel Boots

A reliable all-rounder for everything from beginner hikes to more rugged adventures, this waterproof Columbia boot delivers comfort, durability and traction at a wallet-friendly price point. The lightweight TechLite midsole cushions every step, while the Omni-Grip outsole keeps you steady on slippery or uneven terrain.
The western-inspired boot
Italian Leather Western Chelsea Ankle Boot
Western-inspired style is having a moment this fall, but you don’t have to go full cowboy to tap into the trend. Quince’s Italian leather ankle boots take subtle western cues and pair them with the versatility of a classic Chelsea. The supple leather, low-key detailing and comfortable cushioning make these an easy everyday pair to wear with everything from denim to dresses.
The cool-girl favourite
UGG’s Tazz has become a cold-weather staple, and the Tazz II brings the same laid-back appeal with a little extra height. The suede upper is lined with plush sheepskin for that signature cosy feel, while the lightweight sugarcane EVA platform outsole features an enhanced rocker shape designed for easy movement. Pair them with straight-leg jeans, leggings or your favourite fall sweats.
