Boot weather is almost upon us, and while the closet staple might seem like your humble, everyday item,  any footwear enthusiast will know, each season there’s always a plethora of new and unique styles to choose from. 

Whether you’re in the market for a flat, commute shoe or a sleek heel, autumn 2020 has presented us with a slew of boots for every occasion. With the A/W2020 runways as a guiding light, we’ve seen quite a few key trends emerge for this season, including over-the-knee boots which were spotted at Bottega Veneta and Victoria Beckham, as well as fashion wellies which were seen at Prada and Chloe. 

Aside from those, chunky track sole boots are back for another season, and combat boots have also retained their popularity for 2020. Cowboy boots have once again crept onto the shelves, with our Shopping Editor, Joy Montgomery having already purchased a vintage pair. Keep scrolling to see the boot trends we are loving for autumn.

From Proenza Schouler to Victoria Beckham, this is 2020’s answer to the knee-high boot, lengthened this season to reach higher-heights. The over-the-knee boot can be paired perfectly against mini dresses and skirts, but will also work well with mid-calf lengths, too.

Track sole boots are back for another season. Epitomised by Prada’s exaggerated chunky-soled iteration, the shoe style has now taken the high-street by storm, with & Other Stories, H&M, Mango and more creating their own versions. 

Western cowboy style boots are nothing new, though they seemed to be making a return for autumn 2020. Whether ankle or mid-calf length, this style is set to add some flair to any outfit. 

From Prada to Chloe, this season the Wellington boot was reimagined on the runway with a new fashionable focus. Prada sent colourful iterations down the runway, while Chloe took the signature gumboot style and added a heel. 

It seems we see the return of the combat boot each autumn, though their update for 2020 often includes a chunkier, almost platform like track sole. If you prefer to stick to tradition, there are still plenty of lace-up options around without the added height.
