A critical component of every season's wardrobe is proper footwear. Summer calls for sandals, spring rainstorms require sturdy rubber boots, and winter’s cold and snow demand all things warm and waterproof. But fall grants us a little more leniency. It’s the time of year when the temperature is crisp and weather conditions are mild, allowing fashionistas to choose shoes that are not only functional but also fashion-forward. Enter knee-high boots.

This may be your sign that the best knee-high boots instantly elevate any outfit. They’re versatile styles that can be dressed up or down, with midi skirts and dresses or your favorite jeans and a sharp blazer. From everyday black leather block-heel boots to wide-calf and brown or tan suede Western styles, there’s a knee-high boot for every body type, price point, and style.
