After months of waiting, it’s finally our favorite dressing time of year again. That’s right, pack up those sandals, as our beloved boot season has finally kicked off…which makes me very excited. Now comes the hard part: What kind do you buy? Ranging from modern combat clompers to classic suede pistol boots, the choices of women’s boots for fall are seemingly endless, but trust us, it’s that perfect mix of utility and sophistication that scores top honors in my book. Right here, I’ve done some fancy footwork and rounded up the best boots of the season to keep your tootsies warm and dry while also putting a whole lot of extra style in your stride. Your only challenge: Choosing just one pair.
