Few things make us giddy for Fall quite like the arrival of a new collection of boots to pine over.  This year is no exception, with suede styles showing to be a definitive trend that transcends looks from Bohemian to city-chic.  These boots will keep your toes toasty warm as the weather cools, and we chose styles with either a flat or wedge heel so they will last you the whole day through…. dare we say it, these boots were made for walking!

The over-the-knee flat boot, one of the most coveted boots from last season thanks to appearances on Gossip Girl and star Blake Lively, is making a return this fall.  The near-flat heel and extended shaft on the Chinese Laundry Turbo Boots in Suede Chocolate ($129, top left) and Chinese Laundry Tahoe Boots in Suede Black ($99, bottom left) makes them oh-so practical, and at around $100 - enter code CL10P for an extra 10% off everything at ChineseLaundry.com - we plan on grabbing multiple pairs!

For a toned-down alternative to over-the-knee that’s still high on style, try  the  J Crew Long Glenbrae Suede Flat Boots in Root ($298, top right).  The exposed zipper and steel-gray hue strike the perfect cord with the soft, suede finish. Try these paired with skinny jeans and a long striped scarf or a flirty dress and tights for a look that takes you seamlessly from day to night.  Toned-gam gals rejoice: these also available in extended calf!

If having a bit of heel is a must, we love the  Nine West Yoursocute Boots in Cognac ($169, bottom right) for a bit of a boost that won’t compromise comfort.  Try these with a voluminous top or sleek wrap dress and hobo bag for a super-chic look.
