Popsugar Fashion Fashion Trends Shop Fall 2020's Most Popular Boot Trends Fall's 5 Biggest Boot Trends Are So Comfy, They'll Give Your Slippers a Run For Their Money 17 September 2020 by Sarah Wasilak Image Source: Zara As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too.

Isn't it nice to know that the fashion gods kept your comfort in mind when they settled on fall 2020's lineup of boot trends? It seems like past season styles — the kitten heel '80s boot, the knee-high stiletto, and the ultra-thin, pointed-toe, just to name a few — have been refreshed with function in mind. The most versatile boot here does have a heel, but it comes with a square toe and a thick sole — it's a new take on the classic leather ankle boot, but with a reinvigourating shape you'll really like. Then there are the functional hiking boots and Chelsea boots that'll keep your feet snug for long walks or, sure, even an actual hike. If you prefer knee-high, you're looking at a flat, lug sole that hugs the calf and looks great with an oversize blazer or hoodie, so you'll have fun playing with proportions. The most thrilling of them all is the '90s platform boot, for the days you want to channel your inner Spice Girl and add some height, but still seek a foundation of a solid platform. You'll notice that all of these silhouettes have something in common: it's all about the sole. If you're already set on a pair, jump ahead to the category you want to shop, or scroll through all our favourite styles one by one.

They make any look instantly appear more functional and tough. & Other Stories Chunky Leather Chelsea Boots ($179) & Other Stories Chunky Leather Chelsea Boots $179 from stories.com Buy Now 2 Mango Leather Boots With Track Sole Image Source: shop.mango.com Mango Leather Boots With Track Sole ($150) Mango Leather Boots With Track Sole $150 from shop.mango.com Buy Now 3 Topshop Alonzo Black and Red Chunky Leather Boots Image Source: us.topshop.com Topshop Alonzo Black and Red Chunky Leather Boots ($180) Topshop Alonzo Black and Red Chunky Leather Boots $180 from us.topshop.com Buy Now 4 Voile Blanche Beth Chelsea Boots Image Source: shopbop.com Voile Blanche Beth Chelsea Boots ($235) Voile Blanche Beth Chelsea Boots $235 from shopbop.com Buy Now 5 Stella McCartney Gray Emilie vegetarian leather platform Chelsea boots Image Source: Net-a-Porter.com Stella McCartney Gray Emilie vegetarian leather platform Chelsea boots ($975) Stella McCartney Gray Emilie vegetarian leather platform Chelsea boots $975 from net-a-porter.com Buy Now 6 Dr. Martens 2976 YS Chelsea Boots Image Source: shopbop.com Dr. Martens 2976 YS Chelsea Boots ($150) Dr. Martens 2976 YS Chelsea Boots $150 from shopbop.com Buy Now 7 Villa Rouge Packer Chelsea Boots Image Source: shopbop.com Villa Rouge Packer Chelsea Boots ($195) Villa Rouge Packer Chelsea Boots $195 from shopbop.com Buy Now 8 Missguided chunky sole chelsea boot in black Image Source: asos.com Missguided chunky sole chelsea boot in black ($56) Missguided chunky sole chelsea boot in black $56 from asos.com Buy Now 9 Violeta by Mango Croc Effect Ankle Boots Image Source: shop.mango.com Violeta by Mango Croc Effect Ankle Boots ($150) Violeta by Mango Croc Effect Ankle Boots $150 from shop.mango.com Buy Now 10 Fall 2020 Boot Trend: Hiking Boots Image Source: shop.mango.com While your combat boots are still totally cool, the effect of a lace-up, weather-resistant hiking boot means you're ready to face anything in your way, and surprisingly, it lends your tailored workwear an elevated, sporty touch — especially when you choose neutrals that blend in with the rest of your ensemble. We recommend searching for a mixed-textured pair that gives your look a little more dimension.

It'll polish off all your minidresses, long coats, and denim — and there's no lack of colours available if you like to take a walk on the wild side. Or, maybe you'll approach this silhouette with a "collect them all" mentality, choosing one neutral, and one vibrant statement shoe. We recommend the ankle height when it comes to this toe shape, so that these can really go with everything in your closet. Plus, you can show off a little leg.

It's nice that we're seeing a more relaxed version of the knee-high this season, whereas last fall was more about the '80s-boot with a kitten heel in slouchy leather that felt more luxe. These will be easier to get around in, and look great with boxy, oversize silhouettes.

If there's one bold boot of fall 2020, it's this major silhouette, and Scary Spice would be proud.
