We’re well into fall at this point, and all I hear is love for our dear friend the fall bootie. Don’t get me wrong: I, too, have a soft spot in my heart for the fall bootie, but have we ever considered there might—just might—be something better out there (or at least comparable)? Fall sneakers have leapt into my life recently, and frankly, I can’t enough. I’ve found myself reaching for a cute pair of sneakers before I even consider donning some of my booties, which has led me to the question: Are fall sneakers the new fall bootie? If pretty much anything can be the new black, why not adorable fall sneaks? These are the questions that keep me up at night. (Not really, but I do really love the fall sneakers trend.)
While some booties are extremely comfortable after you break them in, they pale in comparison to sneakers. Sneakers are, without question, the most comfortable type of shoe. It’s why they’re used in exercise, by people who are on their feet all day and those of us who just appreciate something comfy gracing our feet. Of course there’s a time and a place for chic fall booties, but there are more times and places for fall sneakers—Don’t @ me. Whether you’re headed for a long day at the airport and need a pair of comfortable shoes or just want to look like you have street style game, fall sneakers are the shoe! For! You!
From slip-ons in fall hues to chunky dad sneakers sure to amp up your trendy fall wardrobe, autumnal sneakers might just be the new fall bootie. Below, you’ll find myriad pairs of cute fall sneakers that prove what I’m saying is true. Take a gander at some of the cutest fall sneaks the world has to offer right now, and if you still don’t agree with me, I’ll concede. (Just kidding. I will never let up on this.)
