O's Boot Guide
Ankle or knee length, flat or well heeled, warm-and-fuzzy or urbanely polished, it's the year of the boot, and never before have there been so many options to choose from. We hunted high and low to bring you the best, from the luxurious to the sanely priced (which means plenty for under $100).

See the top boot trends of the season, 15 great new styles under $100, and scroll down to browse over 70 styles in nine categories!
Your Boot Search Is Over

Ankle bootsSweet and Low
We love short boots because they're young and trend-conscious. Pair them with full-length pants—skinny, straight leg, bootcut, or wide leg—for the chicest results.

Midcalf bootsHappy Medium
Midcalf boots make a statement without too much height and are perfect with a to-the-knee skirt.

Over the knee bootsHigh and Mighty
