Fall 2024 has officially commenced, and somehow, this fashion editor has yet to purchase a single pair of shoes for the new season. If you know me, you know this is somewhat shocking, but I think this time around I was so overwhelmed by the many amazing options I simply felt I needed to think, curate, and of course budget before taking the leap (or leaps). Well, I think I’m ready now.
I recently spent hours and hours sleuthing the internet (and my own screenshots folder) for the best boots, heels, and flats out there at a variety of price points. Before I make the big cuts, I’m sharing the best of my findings with you today. From slingbacks to suede boots to sneakers and more, consider the below the only shoe edit you really need to see for the season at hand. Ready to get started shopping? Simply keep scrolling for my 33 top picks.
