Photos: Boot Guide Fall 2013

While the message for spring 2014 was all about bold, daring, even experimental accessories, this fall, as the weather turns and wardrobes become more streamlined, we suggest focusing less on making a statement and more on making an investment. Which is why, instead of looking at ephemeral trends for our annual boot guide, we chose shoes based on their timeless appeal. These are pieces that you will buy now and wear forever. From the perfect wedge bootie to the utilitarian yet unique rain shoe, here are 55-plus pairs of boots to add to your fall wardrobe now.
