16 Stylish Combat Booties to Step into Winter With Style

Jessica Ourisman · Oct 30, 2018

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.

See by Chloé Marta Lace-Up Boots ($450): Olive green suede takes the trend into fashion-forward territory. And the color goes with everything related to fall.

Marc Jacobs Crosby Leather Hiking Boots ($425): This delicately defiant pair combines treaded soles and a block heel with smooth black leather and contrasting laces.

Zadig et Voltaire Laureen Metal Boots ($598): Three statement-making buckles — in whimsically hued metallics — lighten the seriousness of these fierce footies.

3.1 Phillip Lim Hayett Lug Sole Boot ($750): Feminine details, like faux-pearl embellishments, help to soften up the menswear-inspired silo.

Michael Kors Collection Brenna Rosebud Calf Leather Combat Boot ($995): A bulky lug sole, delicate rosebud print, and calf-height stature are perf for pairing with midi-length hems.

Alexa Chung Black Heavy Tread Boot ($520): Heavy treads on a combat boot say the things you think (but can't say out loud). #SorryNotSorry

Marc Fisher LTD Waren Lace Up Ankle Boot ($220): Trend-right metallic kicks recall the heavy-metal vibes we love.

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.

Toga Pulla Black Studded Lace-Up Boots ($520): Silver-toned hardware brings the country-western trend to life, but the almond-shaped toe keeps things femme.

Rebecca Minkoff Jaiden Stud Combat Boots ($198): Our favorite way to wear winter white is with silver accents, a treaded sole, and contrasting black laces.

The Kooples Black Leather Lace-Up Ankle Boots ($385): The OG REI men were military rangers, whose mountain-ready garb provides the inspo for these fun, functional laces.

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.
