Photo: Courtesy of David Gannon The Flat Knee-High “Loeffler Randall’s Tilly boot has been in my rotation for the last few seasons—and I keep going back for more! The knee-high silhouette slips under jeans (or over them for a fashion-forward spin), while the flat sole means I can get my 10,000 steps in without a blister. Polished with a subtle equestrian feel, it’s an easy everyday go-to with great traction, too.” — Minty Mellon , shopping market editor

The quality is impressive, better than many options I found at double the price! They’re incredibly versatile and complement my fall uniform of black pants or jeans and a sweater perfectly.” — Mai Morsch , senior fashion editor

Photo: Courtesy of David Gannon The Croc-Embossed Boot “I have a particular weakness for cold-weather boots that do all the heavy-lifting when it comes to getting dressed, and these Toteme do exactly that. I love the drama of an elongated toe paired with the richness of croc-embossed leather. There’s something so undeniably chic about the combination: a little bold, a little indulgent, yet surprisingly easy to wear. Even my go-to jeans-and-tee combination, topped off with a leather jacket, suddenly feels a touch sharper, with these.” — Ciarra Lorren Zatorski , fashion editor
Photo: Courtesy of David Gannon The Western-Inspired Suede Boot “I’m very picky about boots—my favorite style is a kitten-heeled ankle boot and the Loeffler Randall suede boots have a western touch to them that I really love. My go-to fall outfit is wearing a leather jacket as a top along with a pair of jeans. I love that the heel height on the Loeffler Randall’s are just the right amount so that even a non-heel lover like myself can wear them all day and night.” — Irene Kim , editorial production manager, Vogue Runway

This season is all about playing with the unexpected in my styling. Paired with classic surf pants from Elwood Clothing and a plaid blazer, they add a rugged twist to an otherwise sporty look.” —Nicole Martini, associate fashion editor
