Fall 2024 Boot Trends
When it comes to fall fashion, boots are probably the first thing that comes to mind. And while boots are always a classic, they are evolving a bit this season. Here’s what’s new:
Western Boots
Cowboy boots have been rocking the scene for quite a while, and they aren’t going anywhere. However, their look is shifting a bit.
This fall, you’re going to see more western-style boots that feature subtle details rather than the classic cowboy aesthetic.
Think of a modern take with a Western-inspired heel shape and understated embellishments.
If you still love your cowboy boots, don’t worry! They’re perfect for transitioning into cooler weather and can easily be worn year-round—especially in warmer climates.

Moto & Biker Boots
Another trend that’s grabbing attention is the moto and biker boot.
The combat boot trend is fading, making way for these stylish alternatives. Characterized by flashy buckles and metallic accents, these boots offer a bold statement.
Unlike combat boots, moto boots often lack zippers or laces, making them easy to slip on. Pair them with unexpected outfits, like a satin skirt, for a fresh take on fall fashion.

Trendy Fold-over Boots
Another exciting trend is the fold-over boot. This style is both chic and approachable, perfect for those who want something fashion-forward without being overly complicated.
Try them with denim or skirts for a casual yet trendy look. This style strikes a balance between playful and sophisticated.
The one thing to note about this trend is it’s just that–very trendy! So this may not be a piece you want to splurge on.
Flat & Heel Trends
Ballet Flats Are Back
Ballet flats are back and having a moment! Though they’re not the typical round-toe Tory Burch ballet flat that was popular in the early 2000s.
This season’s ballet flats are delightfully chic. Think:
- Pointy-toe ballet flats
- Mesh ballet flats
- Slingback ballet flats
- Mary Jane ballet flats
- Embellished flats
These styles are the trendiest for 2024 so if you love ballet flats, take your pick! There are plenty of ways to wear them this season. And, they look sophisticated while being comfortable.
The last style–embellished flats–are definitely statement-making. From studs and pearls to giant buckles, a lot of this season’s flats come with flair.
Elevated Loafer Styles
Loafers are a fall footwear classic and this season is no different. For the most “current” style, chunky loafers and even heeled loafer pumps are where it’s at.
The latter is definitely a style you’ll either love or hate. I personally think it’s cute and preppy but know it’s not for everyone! Style these with some ruffle socks and a preppy skirt.
Denim Everything
This season, denim is not just for your jeans; it’s taking over your shoe collection too. Expect to see denim boots, flats, and even heels.
This trend emphasizes a cohesive, head-to-toe denim look that’s both casual and chic.

While I’m not sure how wearable this trend is if you live somewhere with a lot of rain or snow (hello, maintenance!) If you’re a denim lover, this trend might be for you.
Color Trends to Watch Out For
There are some major new color trends dominating for fall 2024, so of course they’re trickling down into shoes, too!
Keep an eye out for:
- Green
- Burgundy
- Chocolate brown
These are the color heroes this season, there should be plenty of options for shoes, too!
2024 Sneaker Trends
Sneakers have also undergone an evolution this season. The all-white and dad sneaker trends are fading, making way for retro styles.
Think sleek, slim silhouettes and playful pops of color! These retro styles and bold sneaks are a great way to update a basic outfit.
Other Shoe Trends To Watch For
Fuzzy footwear, animal print & more
Yup, you read that right–fuzzy footwear is also trending for fall 2024.
Think: Shearling, faux fur, feathers and other touch-worthy textiles.
Are these practical? Probably not. Are they fun? Well, you decide!
While I’ll likely be skipping out on this trend–unless I’m at home–I did want to put these on your radar.
