We’ve rounded up the top boots we think are worth adding to your cart before they sell out.
You could say, these are the most booty-ful pairs around!
The Classic Ankle Boot
Boots, £39.99, New Look[/caption]
These ankle boots, featuring a small heel, are perfect for transitioning from day to night, making them ideal for after-work events.
Burgundy is the must-have colour this season and serves as a stylish alternative to black or brown, adding a fresh touch to your winter wardrobe.
If you’re looking for another option, this style is also available in a knee-high version, similar to the pair Gigi Hadid recently rocked at a New York Fashion Week dinner.
The Suede Boot

Suede is absolutely everywhere this year and we are loving it.
The luxurious feel of this fabric gives these Off The Hook boots a high-end, designer look!
The Leopard Print Boot
Boots, £44, River Island[/caption]
If you’re still all about leopard print, here’s a fresh way to work it into your wardrobe – these stretchy sock boots are ultra-comfortable.
Style tip: skip tucking your jeans in and go for a straight-leg fit that drapes over the boots for a sleek, seamless look.
The Studded Boot
Boots, £22, Primark[/caption]
You can’t go wrong with a classic black boot – simple, sophisticated, and easy to style.
But if you’re looking for something slightly more stylish, then this pair from Primark, adorned with shiny silver studs, are a fantastic dupe for Khaite’s leather pair, saving you the £1,380 price tag.
The Fringed Boot
Boots, £99, Next[/caption]
Let your boots be the standout piece of your outfit with this fringed pair from Next.
Featuring a dark block heel and a mink colourway, they offer the perfect cowboy-inspired shape for autumn.
The Riding Boot

This Marks & Spencer pair combines equestrian heritage with chic style- it’s giving quiet luxury.
The store is always a safe bet when it comes to well-made long-lasting boots.
Style tip: combine these boots with neutral or brown tones for a polished, cohesive look, just like Jennifer Lopez has above.
The Knee-high Boot
Boots, £65, Schuh[/caption]
Prefer a ruched style?
This pair of taupe boots is the perfect addition to your autumn wardrobe and would look gorgeous paired with a midi dress.
The lighter shade will effortlessly transition into spring, too.
The Stiletto Boot
Boots, £65, John Lewis & Partners[/caption]
A little less practical (do NOT wear these in the rain!), but this velvet stiletto pair will turn heads wherever you wear them.
The Over-The-Knee Boot
Boots, £149, Zara[/caption]
Get Emily Ratajkowski’s look with this pair of high over-the-knee boots.
If cream isn’t your thing, they also come in a gorgeous camel colour, too.
Style tip: keep it casual with a jumper dress or dress them up with a cute mini-skirt for a party-ready look.
The Rubber Boot
Boots, £109, Charles & Keith[/caption]
This chunky rubber sole is the perfect addition to your weekend wardrobe, and if you’re on the shorter side, they’ll also give you a bit of extra height.
They’re ideal for dog walks or long days in the office, and the best part is, they’re easy to wipe clean!
The Biker Boot
Boots, £69.99, Bershka[/caption]
Thanks to Charli XCX, the ‘Brat Summer’ shoe is making a comeback this autumn.
These biker boots have been a hit since Miu Miu debuted them on the catwalk in 2023, and they’re just as popular paired with a denim maxi or worn over leggings for winter as they are with a mini-skirt in summer.
Style tip: if you’re ready to step out of your comfort zone, this style is actually much more versatile than it might initially appear.
The Chunky Chelsea Boot
Boots, £49.99, Deichmann[/caption]
You can’t go wrong with classic black chunky Chelsea boots, and this style from Deichmann is built to last and won’t date.
They pair effortlessly with everything from dresses to jeans and skirts, making them a must-have addition to any footwear collection.
The Western Boot
Boots, £49.99, Pull & Bear[/caption]
Ganni, step aside.
This pair of red cowboy boots from Pull & Bear closely resemble the very popular viral Ganni ones from last season, and for a whole £500 less.
Seems like a no-brainer to us!
The Metallic Boot
Boots, £115, Oliver Bonas[/caption]
Add a touch of shimmer to your everyday outfits or elevate your partywear with this silver option.
If you prefer gold, don’t worry – there’s a gold colourway available too!
The Buckle Boot
Boots, £60, River Island[/caption]
Khaki is another great choice if you’re looking to add some new tones into your neutral wardrobe, and it looks great with denim.
If your dress code is jeans, a nice top and a fab pair of boots – we’ve got you covered.
The Snake Print Boot
Boots, £44.99, Public Desire at New Look[/caption]
If you’re bored of leopard print, why not give snake print a try?
This block heel offers the perfect balance of comfort and style, making it ideal for partying and dancing the night away.

Why are cowboy boots so popular?
2024 seems to be the year of the Cowboy and that is certainly the case when it comes to fashion.
Cowboy boots have been all the rage for a couple of years now and they don’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.
And whilst the real deal may set you back hundreds of pounds, you can’t walk past a high street store now without seeing a version.
But what makes them so popular?
Not only are most of them a good heel height, not too high, not too low, meaning you’re able to wear them all day with comfort, but many of them leave room around your leg which makes them look super flattering.
Plus you can wear them with anything, from mini skirts and shorts in the summer, to longer dresses and midi skirts as we transition into the colder months, a boot you can wear all year round, which can’t be said for many others.
And that’s what makes them so great, they’re versatile and comfortable – what more could you want?
Here’s hoping the Cowboy craze stays around for a while to come.
