Fall Boots for Men & Women

Start with your weather and routine. Look for waterproof construction for rainy commutes, cushioning for time on your feet, and insulation for colder days. Then choose a silhouette that works with your wardrobe, from a classic 6-inch lace-up to a tall or platform boot.

No. Waterproof construction is specific to each style. The Men's Timberland Premium 6-Inch Waterproof Boot and Women's Auburn Falls 6-Inch Waterproof Boot both feature seam-sealed waterproof construction to help keep feet dry. Check the individual product details rather than relying on the boot's leather upper or rugged appearance.

That depends on your climate, activity, and time outdoors. Insulation or warm lining can help provide warmth on colder days. For milder weather or more active outings, consider styles without added insulation. Check each boot's specifications, since waterproofing does not necessarily mean a boot is insulated.

Try boots with the socks you plan to wear. Your toes should have room to move without feeling cramped, and your heel should feel secure without excessive movement. Consult the style's size guide and fit notes before choosing a size, especially when switching between silhouettes.

Brush away loose, dried dirt with a brush suited to the material. Use care products labeled for your boot's specific upper, since smooth leather, nubuck, and suede need different treatment. Let damp boots air-dry away from direct heat, and follow the product's care instructions.
