Footwear—they’re the bane of every women’s packing list. Or is that just me? No matter how many times I packed my suitcase, I always used to pause when it comes to the shoes, especially in the fall. Should I bring comfortable sneakers for active days and heavy, clunky hiking boots for outdoorsy bucket list adventures? What about traveling to cities in the fall—do I need a third pair of cuter, fashionable ballet flats for all of those afternoons of museum hopping? What are the best (and most comfortable) shoes for lots of walking in the brisk fall weather? The answer to all of the above is a pair of cute and comfortable travel boots.
If you’ve ever packed for Europe or South America in the colder fall months you will understand that alternating between morning brunch, nights out in the city and daytime hikes can be a challenge for footwear. But, I’ve learned a valuable shoe lesson in my many years of travel. Wherever you’re going from September to December—whether it’s Florence, Geneva or Tokyo—a pair of cute and comfortable women’s travel boots are a must-have.
Unfortunately, it seems incredibly difficult to come across the perfect balance of that ideal boot trifecta: comfort, style, and practicality. Difficult, yes—but not impossible.
The Best Fall Travel Boots for Walking Women (Fashionable, Cute & Comfortable!)
Tall Riding & Knee High Boots
A tall riding boot is my go-to shoe for almost any cold-weathered trips—fall thru spring! The height keeps my calves warm, which is particularly helpful when they’re paired with a skirt. Plus, if you find some flat boots with a little tread, they can be used for light hiking too. Don’t forget to add some cute boot socks (like Modern Boho’s lace trim knee highs) or trendy boot cuffs for extra style and warmth.

Western Inspired Footwear
Doesn’t everyone have a little cowboy in them? I certainly do. And all of the ones below are cool country footwear. The first western inspired boots (Rocket Dog) aren’t too flat, they have a little bit of a heel, so maybe wouldn’t be the best for the narrow cobbled streets of Spain, but despite the height they are incredibly comfortable. I brought them with me while traveling through India on the Palace on Wheels luxury train and wore them at every stop, even to the Taj Mahal!
