Even though we don't get much of a fall here in L.A., I am determined to shop for boots like someone who actually knows what a crisp 55-degree day feels like. So what if there are no crunchy leaves on the ground? I am going to buy boots like my closet depends on it, come hell or high water.
If you also enjoy shopping for boots to celebrate fall's arrival, you've come to the right place. Not all of us have a Jennifer Lopez–worthy budget, but cult brands like Steve Madden and Jeffrey Campbell definitely hit the sweet spot price-wise. They have versions of all the top trends of the season but are much more reasonably priced than luxury designers. Scroll down to shop my favorite new boots from these brands and more.
