Another season, another essential boot to obsess over and this year, it’s all about elevated utility. From sleek knee-highs to chunky lug soles, boots are doing more than just keeping you warm—they’re anchoring entire outfits. Designed to transition seamlessly from day to night, city pavement to countryside getaway, the right pair blends form and function with ease. Whether styled with a flowy skirt or tucked-in denim, this season’s boots are built to stand out while standing up to whatever the weather (or your calendar) throws at them.
