If You Only Buy One Pair of Booties This Fall, This Should Be It

Ah, fall: a time for pumpkin picking, pie baking, and, perhaps most wonderfully, boot shopping. While you're bound to be tempted by cooler-weather footwear in various shapes and designs, let us make your hunt for the perfect does-it-all pair a bit easier. 

This week, Everlane dropped the Boss Boot, and let's just say this beauty lives up to its name. With a chic ankle-height and sleek pointed toe, the shoe's elegance is matched only by its practicality, in the form of a low block heel and side zipper. It comes in four colorways — black pebbled, taupe gray suede, black suede, and cognac pebbled — all hand-crafted in Italy. On the direct-to-consumer brand's website, Everlane declares that this boot "means business." Indeed, the shoe would pair just as well with a pencil skirt and chunky sweater in the office as it would with distressed denim and a leather jacket for a crisp night out. 

Ready for the best part? These babies go for $225 a pop, which is really nothing when you consider the traditional retail for a high-quality pair of hand-crafted Tuscan leather booties is upwards of $470. Though most of the sizes are still available, if Everlane's track record is any indication, these boots will sell out fast. Scroll ahead to shop the four stylish iterations.
