Putting your best foot forward this fall means an elevated take on boots and loafers— quite literally. As we step back out into the world, here are some of the key styles that offer a little (or a lot of) lift without sacrificing comfort. They also make everything look decidedly cooler, with a tough, yet chic edge. Here are some of my favourites to get you inspired to stand out.

Platform Boots 

Look out for thick-soled spins on classic combat and moto boots. The sleek upper constructions and fitted
proportions hug the ankle and calf area. You can play around with a pop of socks. Also, you can wear this bare-legged or with the season’s new straight-legged and slouchy pants.

Chunky Heels

There is a time and place for stilettos – namely your IG grid. But for real-life scenarios, ground yourself
while standing tall in chunky heels. Flared shapes, square toes, and platform soles up the ante.

Statement Loafers 

This preppy staple is back, but given a bold remodel with embellishments, exaggerated proportions, and some seriously clunky soles.
