I’m a firm believer that a good pair of booties can totally elevate your outfit. I have typically leaned toward classic shoes in the past, but I’m starting to change my preferences. I still like to have several pairs of neutral shoes that can go with anything, but I’m also coming around to trendier shoes. This is mostly because I’m lazy and a trendier shoe can change the whole look without a whole lot of effort. Booties come in so many different styles that you can easily change a look from casual to dressy just by switching them up!
Fall booties are a weakness of mine and there are just SO. MANY. CUTE. PAIRS. out there. I’ve had several readers message me about needing help finding new booties for fall so I’ve rounded up alllllll of the cute pairs that I would feel comfortable spending my money on.
My Favorite Stores and Brands for Booties
I typically stick to DSW, Macy’s, and Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack when buying booties, because I know they carry brands that I love. You know when you find a shoe brand that just fits perfectly? Well, why mess with a good thing? So I ALSO typically stick to just a few brands of shoes. My top two favorite shoe brands are Steve Madden and Franco Sarto. I love these brands because they just FIT the way I like them to. I’m also getting really into Marc Fischer and Sam Edelman. They’re super comfortable, practical, and easy on the wallet. I’m not saying they’re inexpensive necessarily, but they’re also not $300-700 shoes. They’re designer-good quality and worth every penny, so I consider them very reasonably priced.
I tend to invest a little more in booties than I would with flats or sandals, because I’ll wear them all fall and winter, and usually into spring. I also want them to be warm, high-quality, and most importantly comfortable. So with all that being said, I think spending around $100 is a great price for booties. $150 is my tops but I WILL shell it out for the perfect pair that I know will last for several years.

My Top Bootie Picks for Fall
Here are my top picks for fall that will totally elevate your outfit. I did NOT categorize the booties like I had originally planned because honestly, they’re just all so darn cute that I thought categorizing them could change the way you look at them. I made sure to include several price points, in case you are wanting to splurge on a really good pair or add a budget-friendly version to your closet. Target is by far my favorite retailer for budget-friendly options in any category. I’ve added my favorite Target booties in the last group of booties. MOST of these pairs I’ve chosen come in several color ways. So if you like the style of the bootie but aren’t a fan of the color, click the link to see if another color is available.
