One of our favorite things about transitioning from summer to fall is changing up our footwear! While classic black never goes out of style, this fall it’s all about our favorite color—well shade, maybe. What’s more, fall shoes definitely beat out summer picks. It’s officially time to toss out your worn out sandals and flip flops and make room for some of falls hottest shoes. We round up our favorite (and affordable) chicest black fall footwear, so you can really step into the new season (no pun intended) with more than enough style to go around. An edgy combat boot is a must for fall. Dress it up, or down, and strut a rocker-chic look no matter what.

Another necessity for fall? Platform boots, which can go from day-to-night in a flash. Although we lust for every Jeffrey Campbell shoe, these ones are particularly amazing.

Of course, Hunter rainboots are an absolute must for those rainy months to come. But at least you can look stylish in the rain!
