Saddle Up: The Best Cowboy Boots for Fall

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

There's no denying the chokehold western style is having on fashion girlies. Seriously, just take a look at your social media feeds—there's a high chance someone's posted a photo on their feed wearing cowboy boots. And now with cooler days just around the corner, the western-inspired shoe trend is showing no signs of slowing down.

The list of reasons for owning a pair of cowboy boots can go on and on, but we'll try to keep it brief. First and foremost, the outfit options are endless. You can wear them over your favorite jeans and trousers a la Princess Diana, pair them with a darling fall dress, or stomp around the city in them with an equally on-trend denim skirt—you won't find a more versatile style. Then, there's the wearable factor. Cowboy boots are not only made to last, but they're super supportive and so damn comfortable to walk in. Aside from that, they're seasonless. Name another style of boots you can wear comfortably in the warmer months without over heating. I rest my case.

Whether you're looking for a good old fashioned pair from a heritage brand or wish to up the cool girl factor with modern versions (think: fun embroidery or metallic uppers), here are the best cowboy boots to add to your fall shoe collection now.

The Annie

When in doubt, stick to the classics. Tecovas is among the leaders in ranch wear, and the brand's Annie style has long been a favorite for It-girls. Each boot is handcrafted in León, Mexico, with premium leathers and adorned with beautiful stitching details. Best part of all? They're incredibly comfy.

One reviewer raves: "The boot slipped on my feet like it was made for them. They were comfortable to walk in right from the start and not least of all they are beautiful."
