In the words of Candy Pratt Price in the 2009 movie The September Issue, “September is the January of fashion” which means it’s time to bust the credit card out of your wallet! This season we are seeing everything from thigh-high leather boots to suede loafers. Whatever your style, you'll surely find your match.
There’s nothing we like better than shopping for a new pair (or two) of shoes and if you’re looking for fall’s hottest footwear check out our ten must-haves for under $200.
Booty Time
The ankle bootie is the perfect in between shoe to ease the transition from summer to fall and we found two hot numbers that will make you scream like a guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show. The first is a simple streamlined bootie by Seychelles made from leather and designed with a classic almond toe. It’s perfect to wear to work with a pair of dress pants or on the weekends with stretch pants. For a shoe that makes a bold statement, Zara’s leather chain bootie will bring out the ride or die chick in you, just like the song. We’re drooling over the side cut-outs and silver chains that stretch around the back.
1. Seychelles Black Solitude Boot, $140 USD
2. Zara Leather Chain Bootie, $129.
Riding High
With fall quickly approaching it’s time to toss your worn-out knee-high boots; you know which pair we’re talking about, they’re stained with two winters worth of salt. Having a classic equestrian style boot is a must-have for any woman during the winter and this chocolate brown number by Aerosoles is just what the doctor ordered. It has a cushioned footbed guaranteed for comfort and an elastic back panel. California brand DAV takes a modern spin on the riding boot with this chic ombre effect shoe that darkens from blue to black.
3. Aerosoles Tall Boot, $146 USD
4. Dav Black Equestrian Boot, $98 USD.
Fabulous Flats
When you’re not trekking out and about in the Canadian cold this fall slip your feet into a pair of comfortable and, most importantly, stylish flats. ASOS takes the classic ballet flat up several notches with this black and white, spotted cutie made from pony hair which costs – wait for it – less than $50! Another chic and comfortable option is this classic smoking slipper by Sam Edelman, the tassel detailing add edginess and glam.
5. ASOS Little Rock Flat Pony Ballet Flat, $47.83
6. Circus by Sam Edelman Nell Slipper, $100.
High Heels
If you’re been waiting for us to introduce you to fall’s must-have high heels for less then wait no more! Our favourite Canadian brand Joe Fresh has us whipping out our credit card faster than a speeding bullet with its red and black snake skin wedge; wearing this bad boy to the office or out on the town will have women ohhing and ahhing at your feet for days. Our second pick is Vince Camuto’s Marist, a cross between pump and bootie thanks to its high back hoodie and stiletto heel.
7. Joe Fresh Snake Print Wedge, $119
8. Vince Camuto Marist, $140.
Up And Over
Just when you think you don’t need another black shoe in your closet you come across a design like Akira’s Mission boot. This over-the-knee stunner is only $90 and has quilted front detailing with stretchy black panel; a definite must wear with leather leggings and a sweater dress. For a more relaxed and casual option, Call It Spring’s Huck boot will instantly become a weekend staple when you’re running to go grocery shopping or having a casual dinner with your BFFs.
