The autumn season is not only a chance to flex your favorite cold-weather fashions; it’s also a time to adhere to the season’s shoe do’s and don’ts. By abiding by these guideless you’ll all but ensure yourself a fabulous, fashionable fall.
Do Keep ‘em Clean: Nothing can cheapen a sleek, fabulous look faster than a pair of boots that are scuffed, beaten, and broke down. Before you strap on your favorite classic black boots and booties from last season, polish up the leather and give them a good shine.
Don’t Step out in Heels You Can’t Handle: Yes, high heels are perhaps the sexiest shoe style that the world has ever known, but if you can’t handle the height, then stick to shoes with lower heels (There’s nothing unsexier then hobbling and wobbling the night away as you struggle to maintain your balance.)
Do Listen to the Weatherman: If you’re going out for the evening and the forecast is for chilly temperatures, don’t think that you can get away with wearing stappy high heels or peep-toe booties. You’ll regret it the second you step out of the house and into the open air. Take the season as an opportunity to embrace fabulous close-toed options, such as the Caley knee high boot from isola or the Keats heeled oxfords from Miz Mooz.
Don’t Sit on the Sidelines: The whole point of fabulous party shoes is to look great while you dance the night away. So get out on the floor and strut your stuff!

Fall may have come out swingin’ in most of the Lower 48, but there are a few warm spots in the country that will still allow you to step out in a pair of spectacular sandals. Gladiators are the style soldier’s chosen shoe, and we’re bringing you a few pairs with enough sugar and spice to fashionably carry you through this fall’s obsession with edge and attitude.
Warrior Princess Footwear
Fight for your love of fashion in the Xena. Available in bronze and white, these Apple Bottoms gladiators with a 1-inch wedge, zipper back, thick detailed straps, edgy studs and grommets, and braided detail guarantee a bold look. Embellishments and two tones of leather pack a chic fist full of attitude. Pair the Xena with your favorite dress or body conscious skirt to be the trendiest style soldier.
Sneakers Meet Gladiator Sandals
Some of us will always favor sneakers for school days. Why shouldn’t we? Sneakers come in an assortment of bold colors that make it easy to style your school day looks from the bottom up. For sneakers with an extreme twist, grab the Hena by Punkrose. Making gladiator sandals and sneakers one in the same, the Hena boasts an open toe, classic sneaker laces, a caged style, and a lightning bolt detail at the heel for extra attitude.
Armed With a Shoe of Teal
With all the neutrals, rusty reds, and hot coco themed color palettes floating around this fall’s fashions, we don’t want to lose ourselves in a sea of dull shoes. Look dangerously fashionable in a colorful pair of gladiators like Naughty Monkey’s Beam Me Up sandals in teal. Leather straps and a diamond-shaped pattern of intertwined knots adorned by shimmering studs and grommets will have you dressed to kill.

Stacked wooden heels have popped up since the clog trend has become so prominent. We thought clogs might have faded away with the warmer months, but come fall and winter, designers decided to tack wooden heels onto boots too. They’re cute and add an organic element to your outfits, but how practical are they for real life?
The thing is, everything’s easier in the spring and summer. The humid weather gives us all this carefree attitude to let down our hair. Winter does the exact opposite. Going out is a drag if the weather is too cold and we all feel about 10 pounds heavier when we’re bundled up with layers of sweaters and a hefty coat. Wooden heels also have a heavy look at times, which makes them difficult to wear with winter clothing. Is it impossible? No, but definitely tricky.

December is almost here, lovelies! We’re trying to bundle up since things are bound to get icier, and that means we want to keep our feet from being chilly. How about these suggestions to get the gears turning?
Sweater-Lined Boots: These boots are so warm and comfortable, and they can be lined in wool, cashmere knit, or a lightweight cotton sweater-type sock. Sweater-lined boots are lovely when the interior is bright enough to lend a shock of color to even the most basic of outfits. Think black leggings are too plain? Wear a pair of boots with a turquoise lining or a plaid interior and a fold-down cuff, and you’ll be jolly all December.
Sheepskin Boots with Foldover Cuffs: Foldover boots lend a unique silhouette to tighter winter clothes, and they are just perfect for this time of year when paired with thick socks in a cool color. If sheepskin isn’t for you, then you can wear a pair of boots that flaunt faux sheepskin instead. Get a pair of boots with buckles along the uppers, too!

Rugged boots are hot for fall and winter 2010. We love wearing them with luxe sweaters and any ol’ pant from jeggings to tapered slacks to leggings. There’s almost nothing you can’t pair with rugged boots for that effortless cool that models like Kate Moss rock so well. Best of all, you can score the look even if you’re on a budget. Here’s a look at some of the hottest rugged boots available on MyShoes for under $100.
First up are the Colle ankle boots from Nine West. While these shoes retail for up to $99 elsewhere on the web, with MyShoes, we were able to find them for a mere $60. The Colle boots are available in gray and black, but it’s the gray that has our hearts. Ideal for adding a rustic element to your look, the gray version of the Colle ankle boots boast an interior zipper for easy access and bold leather straps around the ankle with decorative buckle detail. These boots work with earthy tones in your wardrobe and can also toughen up a floral dress with dark tights.

Lace is hot for fall and winter and there’s no better way to add drama to a simple cocktail outfit for a holiday party than with the sultry fabric. Lace shoes are favored by actresses on the red carpet, not only because they add texture to a look, but because they add instant sex appeal. Lace shoes are easy to wear with any dressy outfit and take a look from drab to fab in seconds. Remember that black is almost always the best options and also the most versatile, if you’re wanting to make an investment in lace shoes.
