Aside from a killer coat and new knits, a backbone of fall fashion has always been the boot. True to form, for Fall 2020, boots ruled the roost. We saw an influx of all-purpose boots, both rubber-soled and lace-ups. The classic stacked heel took on new life with the simple addition of chain detailing. And who could forget the thigh-high, kinky boots that walked shows like Alexander McQueen and Victoria Beckham in a mix of colors and PVC?
Designers also breathed new life into shoes, giving us pairs that are just plain fun. We saw the return of the platform, tall and embellished in all their disco glory. Its younger sister, the flatform, also made an appearance, and is ideal for the cool girl who wants to opt out of the towering height. No matter your personal style, there’s a shoe this season that's right for you. Buy now, thank us later.

Lace-Up Boots
Cover some serious ground in these rugged bad boys. Designers like Valentino (left), and Rochas (right) sent these laidback styles down the runway. The best part? They look better with more wear and tear.
A shoe that lets you dominate in both the boardroom and bedroom—take note from Alexander McQueen (left), and Victoria Beckham (right). For work, pair with a dress of any length to elongate your legs, and for the bedroom...wear with nothing at all.
Take a cue from designers like MSGM (left) and Erdem (right) and add a lift of height to your look with a flatform. Whether they're open or closed toe, this style pairs perfectly with ribbed tights or a sock.
Mari Giudicelli gives this shoe a beachy flair with leather laces and a braided jute platform. Pair this bright pair with cropped jeans for a relaxed, beachy vibe.

The Prada Fall 2019 collection reignited the trend of mini-bags worn as footwear (see Chanel Spring/Summer 2008). Kendall Miles gives an updated take by adding it to a pointed-toe boot.
