Understandably, footwear comes and goes with the seasons. In winter, shearling-lined boots almost always make an appearance; in spring and summer, sandals reign supreme; and in fall, leather boots come out in full force. Maybe it’s due to America's recent obsession with Yellowstone—hello, Kevin Costner in cowboy boots—or maybe it’s the push to spend more time outdoors post-pandemic. Whatever the case may be, cowboy boots are trending like mad this autumn.

These eight fashionable pairs—from brands like Free People, Boot Barn, and Aldo—will help you get in on the Western-inspired trend without looking costume-y.

These boots really were made for walking.

These traditional leather boots conjure up images of the deep South, truck tailgates, and iced tea on the front porch. Made by country singer Miranda Lambert's brand, Idyllwind, the leather boots have a snip toe, which is shorter and less pointed than some of the other boots on this list, so they’re more comfortable for hours on end. Available in a distressed tan hue with a low one-inch heel, they come in women's whole and half sizes 6 to 11.
