The first day of fall has officially come and gone, which means I'll be wearing boots every day from here on out. This season's boot trends offer something for everyone, ranging from edgy moto boots to free-spirited boho styles. However, there's one thing they have in common: They all come in a rich-looking suede finish.

Truth be told, suede is a fall trend that comes around every year, hence the perfect suede bags and jackets that have been released in the last couple of months. However, there's something about this year's suede boot selection that feels especially chic. Spring 2026's street style set wore the shoe trend in fresh-feeling ways, with everything from Bermuda shorts to sequin skirts. Now that I have so many fall outfits to recreate, I'm going all in on suede boots.

With a budget of $200 and under, I set out to find the best suede boots, and my search quickly led me to Nordstrom. There, I saw plenty of stylish, yet affordable options from editor-favorite brands like Steve Madden, Dolce Vita, Sam Edelman, and more. Keep scrolling for my top picks in suede boots, aka the one shoe trend you won't be able to escape from this season.
