Top Fall Boots for Women

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

One of the greatest things about autumn is the great choices in footwear. Suedes, leathers, and earthy colors all make their way into our wardrobes, and boots become nearly irresistible -- especially when they're as cool as the ones on this list. Check out these top picks for the hottest styles in women's fall boots.

1. Jessica Simpson "Makan" - Belted Heeled Ankle Boots

Featuring a fantastically belted shaft, and 3.5" heels, these unique boots are actually more flattering than many other styles of ankle boots, because the top of the shaft is not as narrow. Available in brown leather, black suede, or black herringbone fabric, these fun and sexy boots are ideal for pairing with tucked-in skinny jeans, footed tights, or pants.

2. Chinese Laundry "Staff" - Sexy, Patent Knee-Highs

If you're looking for a pair of sexy knee-high boots, here's something a little different that is sure to get attention. With oyster-colored patent uppers, and two stylish belts complete with oversized hardware, these pointy-toed boots feature full side zippers and 3.5" stiletto heels. Equally sexy in black, these boots will work with anything but sweats or evening gowns.

3. Frye "Adrienne" - Tall, Button Boots

Most of you are probably already familiar with Frye Boots, as they've been setting trends for decades. But these boots are definitely a departure for the brand. With a double row of decorative buttons all the way up the front and chunky 2.75" heels, these tall boots can go casual or dressy, and will look great either way. I'd love to see them paired with skirts, but they'd work with jeans as well.

4. Jessica Simpson "Bodey" - Flat, Tall, Suede Boots

With criss-crossed straps at the ankle, and a little tag dangling off of them, these tall, flat, suede boots from Jessica Simpson are cool beyond compare. They're a natural with skinny, tucked-in jeans or leggings, but don't overlook the option of pairing them with a casual skirt. I'm crazy about the Diablo Red suede, but they look really great in brown or black leather as well.

5. Diba "Amalie" - Vivid Paisley Fall Boots

If like me, you love paisley, you're going to flip for these tall boots -- I'm crazy about them. Ideal for wearing with skirts, these boots have 3.5" stiletto heels and fabric uppers. Available in red or tan.

6. Nine West "Remlap" - Casual and Cool Fall Boots

Truly unique, and incredibly dynamic, these boots are one of the season's most in-demand styles. With quilted purple nylon shafts and loads of black accents, these boots must be seen to be believed. My first instinct was to pair them with jeans, but the Nine West site shows just how fantastic boots like these look with casual dresses and tights as well.

7. Steve Madden "Seargent" - Lace-Up Boots for Fall

What a great look these fall boots have. With fabric and leather uppers, these mid-calf boots come in black or brown and feature full side zippers. The name is appropriate since there is a definite military feel to these boots -- except for the 4" stiletto heels, of course.
