SARTO by Franco Sarto Flexa Comfort Leather Bootie

Here at Cosmo, we're strong believers in not having to sacrifice comfort for style which is why we're obsessed with this cushioned, square-toe bootie. How gorgeous is that blue?

Aldo Shoes Quilt Boots

Combat boots—but make it way cooler. These laced-up, lug sole, quilted cuties are a chic take on a typically grunge-y style. The almond color alone is practically begging for you to add to cart, is it not, and they also come in white, black, and gray renditions!

M. Marie Reverse Cowgirl

Ride out into the sunset in these blinged out cowgirl-like boots. Not only are there cool Swarovski chain crystals on 'em (zoom in) but no two pairs are identical, making your look extra special.

Schutz Mikki Leather High-Heel Booties

This rich hue reminds me of Hershey's chocolate (can you tell I'm hungry?.) It features a pointed toe, stiletto heel, and leather that feels as smooth as butter.

ASOS DESIGN Rebecca Premium Leather Square Toe Boots

Okay, so these run big according to reviewers, but they're crazy comfortable (and cute)! With the unique color and funky toe, these are edgy enough to spice up even the most basic look.

Brother Vellies Lauryn Boot in Half Moon

This genius boot is perf for the person who can't make up their mind about what color they want to wear! With white and black nappa leather, you get the best of both worlds. And if you're indecisive about wearing ankle booties or knee length boots, this length is a great in-between.

Seychelles Itinerary Boot in Tan Leather

Need boots that'll keep ya grounded? Got you. Keep steady and stylish with this sturdy design including a stacked heel, structured squared toe, and polished tall shaft.

Kat Maconie Lucie Boots

These floral embroidered boots with a gold accent heel scream "we like to partay!" The colors are bright and the comfort is out of this world, as per reviews.

Zouxou High Nerea Boot in Tan Snake

We meet again, Chelsea boot. It's a classic, sure, but this one has snake-skin detailing and a subtle lug sole that'll keep you from falling on your face on those dreaded snow days.

Sam Edelman Ursula Leather Over the Knee Boot

If these over-the-knee boots aren't strut-worthy, IDK what is! These showstopping beauts are made of printed, buttery-soft leather and come in this stunning blue and a warm oat color.

Sorel Brex Heeled Chelsea Bootie

Can you picture how fire you would look with an all black ensemble and these chunky flared booties on your feet? Too. Much. Heat. Yes, even in crazy winter weather, seeing how this pair is made of waterproof leather.

Loeffler Randall Elise Stretch Leather Bootie

Your autumn and spring 'fits are incomplete without these trendy, sock-like leather booties.

Steve Madden Priority Boot

If you have an edgier style, then add these boots to your arsenal ASAP. Made to brave cold weather, you'll appreciate how the supple leather keeps ya warm and the commanding lug sole keeps ya from slipping and sliding, in style.

Aldo Shoes Ganina Boot

This pointed-toe baby is definitely a go-to boot. With an effortless sock boot design, sculpted heel, and fashionable mix of textures, you better believe I'll be slipping into these for work, a chill night out, and beyond.

Steve Madden Women's Vivy Ankle Boot

Looking for some glitz? We've found her in these gold ankle boots made for all the attention. According to reviews, you'll get tons on compliments on 'em. If you'd like a toned-down version, check out the pairs in black or white but if you want more shine, then definitely look into the rhinestone pairs!

Larroude Kate Boot In Ivory Leather

Oh, how I just love me a crisp off-white pair of boots. With a 3.8 inch heel, this one is a polished queen complete with memory foam cushion. White boots are so in rn but this knee-high pair looks amazing in just about every colorway and style. (There's a suede lipstick-red and denim-blue one!)
