Nothing screams fall like a good pair of boots, and the only difference this season? They&#39;re much taller. As the temperatures drop, fall weather encourages you to trade in your <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/shop-best-flat-sandals-now" target="_blank">flip-flops</a> for a good pair of over the knee boots. Brands like Lanvin and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/valentino-couture-fall-2021-wedding-dresses" target="_blank">Valentino</a> showcased this fall shoe&nbsp;trend, validating&nbsp;that&nbsp;lengthening your legs has never been easier.

Platforms

You know what they say, the higher the platform, the closer to heaven. Height was a common theme on the runways this season, and as much as we&#39;d like to admit we don&rsquo;t, we all could use a little lift. Seen in bright turquoise hues from Miu Miu, and in black at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gucci-epilogue-collection" target="_blank">Gucci</a>, the platform trend is is back in a big way.

Ankle Strap

Mary Janes

Channel your inner school-girl this fall with the Mary Jane. Designers like Marc Jacobs and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/how-to-stream-dior-cruise-2021-collection-show" target="_blank">Dior</a> displayed these shoes in muted tones, playing up the femininity of this cute fall shoe trend.

Combat Boots

These boots were made for...combat, apparently. Paying homage to the military motif, combat <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/blundstone-50-years-2019">boots</a> seem to be a consistency every fall. Designers such as Paco Rabanne and Dolce and Gabbana suggest these lace-up boots are the perfect way to play up the edginess of the upcoming colder months.

Loafers

A good pair of loafers is comparable to a good pair of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/ag-jeans-sustainability-calu-rivero">jeans</a>; they are&nbsp;very necessary. This season, designers displayed great infatuation for this old school trend. Adding an elevated take on subtle masculinity, loafers will be the newest addition to your wardrobe this fall.

The Pointed Toe

The ever-so-edgy pointed toe trend is here for fall, and we are feeling the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-online-vintage-shops">vintage</a> nostalgia. A distinctive component of elegancy, this geometric-chic trend is the perfect way to elevate any fall look. The pointed toe shoe has been on the rise for months, and after seeing how prevalent this trend was on the runway, we can&#39;t help but forecast this fall shoe trend is here to stay.

Perhaps the comfiest trend of all footwear is the chunky sneaker. Runways were rife with thick-soled <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/white-sneakers-for-women-fashion" target="_blank">sneakers</a> as brands like Maison Margiela and Versace popularized a shoe that encourages comfort and style. Seen in bright colors such as acid green and neon orange, these bold tones put a modern twist on the beloved sneaker. Favored by those that prefer a more casual take on fashion, this fall shoe trend is perfect for <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/casual-spring-dresses-shopping" target="_blank">dressing</a> up or down.
