As the autumn wind slowly makes its way into cities all over the world, you know it’s about time to ditch those open-toed, strappy sandals and change into a pair of boots that will keep your toes toasty.
But as a fashionable jetsetter, you don’t want to buy just any boot to cover your feet. You want a pair of shoes that will take you far, warm, and glam.
Thus, we’ve searched for the best boots for winter and fall, and here are our picks!

Steve Madden Troopa Lace-Up Boot
Combat Boot
A close relative to the edgy moto boot, lace-up boots are a killer style to rock once the autumn leaves begin to fall.
The “Troopa” from Steve Madden comes equipped with side zip closure and a sturdy leather upper. Looks-wise, they’ll add an edgy touch to any outfit they’re paired with.
Like most boots, they’re super versatile and would pair beautifully with a denim skirt, a blouse, and some toasty foldover socks. This outfit is great for a mild fall day out—if you need to be warmer, though, we suggest swapping out the skirt for jeans or changing the top to a long-sleeved sweater.
Backpack | Sweater | Socks | Skirt | Sunglasses | Earrings | Boots
For an autumn-worthy getup, pair lace-up boots with a denim mini skirt, oversized sweater partially tucked in, and some cozy fold over socks.
For extra warmth, you can always wear tights underneath, as well. Stick with a classic black or go bold with a colored burgundy pair!
Where to wear: NYC | Hong Kong | London

How to Pack Boots for Fall and Winter
Determining how to pack boots for travel can be difficult, especially if you’re trying to pack light and avoid a shoe poking through a bag. To make it easier, start by choosing a container such as a shoe bag or a packing cube, then pack according to your type of luggage.
Whether you have a front loading or top loading backpack, it’s crucial to put your shoes first, at the bottom. If you’re planning to pack shoes in a rolling carry-on, remember that it stands sideways, so it’s important to note how it functions when it is upright. Most often, your shoes will need to be packed close to the wheels, so that the luggage maintains its balance in transit.
To store, use washable shoe bags, gallon size Ziploc bags, or plastic shower caps to keep your belongings separate from your shoes.
We put together a five-part YouTube series showing the different methods to use packing cubes for travel. If you use this specific packing strategy, packing cubes can also compress your belongings. This is the secret to traveling carry-on only!
