Your house shoes are begging for a break, so why not ring in the new season with a fresh set of footwear? From comfort-first clogs to high-style knee-high boots, these are the types of shoes to invest in now.
A Combat Boot
Once a punk staple, the combat boot has become domesticated for everyday wear. This must-have fall shoe comes in an iteration for everyone: with thick rubber treads, shiny hardware, and in sleek fabrics like tweed.
