The fashion world is making it clear that
female empowerment is haute. To prove it, our fave cool girl-staple, the combat boot, has been low-key dominating footwear. The OG badass booties may be grunge-inspired, but designers have reimagined these steppers for every
style of fall boot. Channel your inner "Vive la Resistance" vibes, pick the pair that speaks to you, and step confidently into the winter season.
Stuart Weitzman The Ryder Bootie ($598): Crimson suede, contrasting laces, and a sleek design are a must. Wrap the laces around your ankle before tying them for added edge.
AGL Double Belt Combat Bootie ($560): This elegant pair was made for the modern boss babe. A rounded block-heel, tasteful buckles, and a touch of PVC reinvent the military boots' gritty roots.
Schutz Kika ($245): Blending Victorian sensibility with ranger-esque laces gives this patent leather pair serious sass. Wear them with flowy florals and lace collars to absolutely slay.
Rag & Bone Cannon Boot ($595): If laces are too much trouble, consider a zip-up alternative. Faux laces can be tied at the front or the back for the desired effect.
Allsaints Donita Boot ($348): Ranger-inspired eyelets and a foot-hugging toe buckle toughen up the look on these pretties. Trust and believe that they will turn heads when worn with tights.
Dr Martens Vegan Black Felix Rub Off ($140): Beneath that tough exterior, we know you have a sensitive heart. Rock the original grunge-inspired style while supporting the cause of animal-friendly fashion using ethically on-point vegan leather.
