F/W Trend: Lace-Up Booties

With all the chunky sweaters, scarves, hats, and even socks that lie ahead in our fall fashion future, it is no surprise that chunky booties are coming back once again to adorn our feet with all their platformed, laced, and even lugged glory. The season’s hottest shoe showstoppers were thick with tread at the sole, laced to the top, hit at the ankle, and were made of top notch leather resistant to even the chilliest of snowstorms. Closely resembling a waterproof and weather-resistant mountain boot, but much more edgier with a sleek shape, stacked or wedged heel, and a hidden platform, the cold season’s lace-up booties are fashionably comfortable and able to stand the test of time. You can even get a pair with a buckle strap around the ankle for extra support, even though most of us will be getting it just for the looks. Thankfully in fashion, you don’t have to have a reason to indulge in the extra details. Take a look at these hot lace-up booties on the market right now, and start contemplating which bag you want to match with it.
