When it comes to fall in Canada, investing in a good pair of boots is a seasonal pre-requisite. Fall boots are not only tasked with providing warmth and stability, but the right shoe can change the entire vibe of an outfit.

The silver lining of living in a boot-mandatory climate is that you can invest in a few pairs without feeling guilty. You, of course, need your inside boots, your outside boots, your going-out boots, and at least a few pairs that can hold up to Mother Nature's wrath.

While we can safely assume you have at least a few of the former in your closet, chances are you could use a new pair (or three). Therefore, we've gathered 27 pairs of exceptionally chic boots for your fall 2023 wardrobe, including the:

  • Best Black Boots

  • Best Chelsea Boots

  • Best Heeled Boots

  • Best Waterproof Boots

  • Best Knee-High Boots

  • Best Ankle Boots

  • Best Western Boots

  • Best Combat Boots

  • Best Sock Boots

No matter what boot you have in mind, we're confident you'll find something you like. Read on to shop the edit.
