6 Boot Trends That Will Conquer Fall 2025 (Whether You Like It or Not
Avery Sinclair here, your resident skeptic with a closet full of overpriced shoes and a heart full of disdain for seasonal trends. If you’re expecting me to gasp in delight at the latest “must-have” boot trend, think again. But hey, I’ll still break it down for you—because even cynics need footwear.
Oh sure, fall 2025 is just *around the corner* and fashion editors are already hyping up the next big thing in boots like it’s some kind of life-altering revelation. Knee-highs with kitten heels? Snakeskin accents? Western-inspired studs? Please. As if we haven’t seen these recycled trends since the last time Pinterest was relevant.
Let’s start with the obvious: knee-high boots are back. Because nothing says “I’m trying too hard” like squeezing into tight leather that cuts off circulation above the calf. But this time, they’re throwing in a 1960s-inspired kitten heel. Groundbreaking. Next up, snakeskin. Yes, apparently, slithering into fall means pretending reptile prints are neutral now. Sure. And pigs might fly.
Then there’s the revival of indie sleaze and boho chic—two aesthetics that should’ve stayed buried in the early 2010s. Naturally, this means moto boots with silver hardware and slouchy silhouettes are making a comeback. Because nothing says “edgy” like wearing what every influencer on Instagram already has.
Steve Madden, Sam Edelman, and Amazon are all cashing in on these trends, offering everything from affordable knockoffs of Frye Campus boots to suede ankle booties with chunky heels. And yes, cowboy boots are still going strong. Embroidered, studded, and priced to make you feel like you got a deal—even though you’re buying into a trend that will be obsolete by 2026.
Chelsea boots remain a classic, but now they come in suede because apparently, we needed more texture options. And if you really want to scream “look at me,” try the fold-over stiletto versions with pointed toes. They combine two trends: slouchiness and height. Bold move, fashion gods. Bold move.
Bottom line? None of these trends are actually new. They’re just rebranded, slightly altered versions of what we’ve already worn, returned with a fresh coat of SEO-friendly buzzwords. But hey, if you must participate, at least do it with a side of sarcasm and a healthy dose of skepticism.
So there you have it—another season, another list of things you don’t actually need.
