Boots are the ultimate go-to during the fall and winter. They’re both practical, stylish and there’s a boot to suit any occasion. Boots for bad weather, sexy boots for a night out, sophisticated boots for a day at the office, casual boots for weekend fun, and on and on it goes.<br><br>
Usually, there is one stand out boot style that outshines the others, like last year's return of the over-the-knee boot. This season, however, every boot style, from the new to the perennial standbys, is considered a must.
No matter what type of boot you're looking for, we've most likely got it on our list, and at under $50 to boot!

<b>Over-the-Knee</b>
A sexy high-heeled OTK (over-the-knee) boot is by far the sexiest style out there.

<b>Lace Up</b>
Lace up boots can add a sexy edge to any look. They have a really cool military meets 90's grunge vibe to them that is very now. Wear them with anything from a feminine dress to a pair of jeans and a tee.

<b>Flat Over-the-Knee</b>
