Here are all the VIBE-approved shoes you need this fall season:
booties
Everyone needs a good-quality pair of booties during the fall season. While a black pair is always good to have on hand, sometimes you want to add a dramatic flair or a pop colour to your outfit. If you’re looking to add a new pair of booties to your collection try going for an animal print or different textures like suede or velvet. A sparkly bootie is always a good idea on a night out. Nothing like a sparkly moment to make you feel more glamorous than usual.
Coach Gigi Bootie
Coach’s products are made with great leather. The block heel on this shoe makes it perfect for every day.
Dolce Vita Arya
There’s something undeniably chic about the look of suede shoes. The pointed toe and skinny heel are the perfect addition to a simple and sleek outfit.
Michael Kors Cosmo Leather Kitten Boot
What better way of adding a pop of colour to a neutral outfit than a red bootie? This one from Michael Kors is a flattering shade of red and has an adorable kitten heel.
Combat Boots
Combat boots bring an effortlessly edgy vibe to any outfit with their military-inspired, utilitarian design. They create a nice contrast when styled with softer pieces like satin slip dresses but are versatile enough to pair with almost anything. Try them with a leather jacket, T-shirt, and jeans, or a flirty short dress—they’ll keep you stylish without sacrificing comfort. Celebs often turn to Doc Martens for their iconic and durable designs that won’t break the bank.
Sam Edelman Evina Combat Boot
These Sam Edelman combat boots look good and are comfortable! If you can, we recommend trying them in-store to find your perfect fit.

You can’t go wrong with a pair of Doc Martens. This style is available for both men and women and comes in a variety of colours.
Steve Madden BOOMBA BLACK
If you’re not in the mood to wear heels but still want to wear something with some height these combat boots from Steve Madden are just what you need.
knee-high boots/over-the-knee-high boots
Knee-high boots can make the simplest outfit look more elevated and luxe. If you’re not someone who prefers a high heel go for a flat or a low-rise heel. You can wear them with a knit sweater and some jeans for a polished look or wear them with a short dress or skirt for a sexy and sultry look. We especially love snakeskin over-the-knee-high boots because they’ll go with everything and will make your outfit look even more refined and chic.

These Aldo boots are incredibly easy to slip on and comfortable. The crocodile-skin finish adds a chic touch to your outfit.

Staud Wally Boot in Mahagony Suede
A suede shoe can make any outfit look more sophisticated. These ones from Staud have a slouchy design, pointed toe, and a slim heel.
Chelsea boots
Chelsea boots are the ultimate outfit upgrade! They can instantly take a plain look and make it feel more polished—perfect for those “business casual but make it chic” vibes. A solid pair of Chelsea boots gives off that effortlessly put-together energy, even when life gets hectic. Pair them with a nice top and skirt, a dress, or a standout jacket, and you’re golden. And let’s not forget how amazing they look on men! From blazers and dress shirts to polo tees, bomber jackets, or even suits, Chelsea boots bring out the charm every time.

Loafers
Everyone should have a pair of loafers in their shoe collection. Although we may wear our loafers more often in the fall you can wear them almost all year round. They’re more formal looking which makes them perfect to wear to an interview or work if you’re not a fan of wearing heels. You can choose from a variety of styles like penny loafers, apron loafers, the snaffle loafer, or our favourite the tassel loafer. If you want a pair of loafers for work or for a special occasion we recommend buying a leather one. If you want more of an everyday loafer we suggest going for a suede one.
