Best Boots AW22

It’s time to pay homage to winter’s unsung wardrobe hero — The Almighty Boot. Pick your flavor, any flavor — combat, knee-high, moto, Chelsea, cowboy — and they are guaranteed to deliver on style, comfort and durability. These wardrobe workhorses deserve the spotlight and, more importantly, the investment. When it comes to footwear, comfort and quality are directly related so save your feet by choosing boots wisely. To help guide a smart purchase, here are the best boot brands that are worth the spend this season:

  1. Stuart Weitzman
    If you don’t already know about Stuart Weitzman’s 5050 iconic, top-rated classic, you should. Business in the front (leather), party in the back (microstretch), they are sleek, chic and low making them a daily miracle worker for urban women. Effortlessly pair with skirts or tuck-in your skinny jeans, jeggings or leather leggings to elongate your look, then glide through your day.

  2. Frye
    Not only cowboy boot purveyors, Frye has a broad selection of boot styles with top-notch quality across the board. Try for engineer, lace-up combat and equestrian styles, though my personal faves are their iconic Campus and Harness boots. Anything from Frye will last you a lifetime.

  3. Fiorentini + Baker
    It doesn’t get more classic than F+B’s Eternity boot. These handcrafted beauties are made in Italy by skilled artisans with premium materials and, trust me, your feet will feel the quality. All their styles are gorgeous — knee-high boots, ankle booties, loafers — so shop ‘til you drop knowing it’s a worthy investment.

  4. MM6
    Another fave European brand is Maison Margiela’s MM6. Super stylish and well-made, their iconic ankle booties are as recognizable as the other Greats (above), and equally as comfortable. Pair with suiting, a tailored dress, flowy skirt or ripped jeans and watch how they complement everything thanks to the polished, sophisticated design.

  5. Tamara Mellon
    This woman knows how to do a great boot. If you want to channel your inner vixen, she’s got a range of stilettos that deliver on sexy vibes. For the uptown girl, her over-the-knee boots are sleek, sophisticated and often sold out. And, for the weekend warrior, her combat and moon boot styles combine the perfect balance of hard and soft. So chic and comfortable!
