[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]F[/dropcap]inding the perfect pair of black ankle boots for fall is taking a ridiculously long time and my wish list isn’t even that lofty. I just want a black pair with a substantial heel for navigating slippery sidewalks that doesn’t look dowdy. I’d also like to stay away from suede so I don’t have to contend with as many salt stains. And, I hate silver hardware with black leather. It looks a little too biker babe for me. I spent the morning scrolling through hundreds of options to come up with nine that meet my expectations.

Under $100: Express, $70 | H&M, $50 | ASOS, $57

Love the Elliott Luc pair.
Aren’t they great? I was about to buy the Cole Haan pair, but I think I’ve changed my mind after finding that E.L. pair this morning.
So many great boots! I wouldn’t be able to choose between those either. I already have a few black boots for this year. A wedge, then a crazy Phillip Lim pair with calf hair, haha

So jealous! The only pair of black boots I own are Hunter wellies! 😉
Great picks!
Stuff I Love
Oooh, those Cole Haan ones are gorg. I just got a pair of the Sam Edelman ‘Petty’ boots in black leather; I wanted something with a little bit lower of a heel. LOVE ankle boots!

I love all the bits of gold hardware – just a little flash – it’s right up my alley.
The ASOS is my fave top row pick, Elliott Lucca for the second, and isn’t is marvelous, I don’t want any on the bottom row, hahaha.
So which is your favorite – or will it come down to buying each one and trying it on until you find the one that fits just right?

Originally I loved the Cole Haan ones because of the slightly pointed toe that made it feel feminine, but now I’m leaning toward the Elliott Lucca pair. The shape is great and it helps that they’re $150 cheaper!
Of course I like the Tory Burch ones best…
I have worn my black booties to DEATH so I am totally on the market for a new pair! Really loving the couple with the gold accents…might have to consider those… 🙂
