9 Best Knee-High Boots to Wear With Everything, Recommended by Editors

Reformation’s structured, low-heeled boots certainly look a lot like Frye Campus boots, which went viral after being worn by Zendaya and Olivia Rodrigo and have been hard to find ever since. But this pair stands on its own with durable leather, square toes, and genuinely comfortable construction. Just ask Glamour global editorial director Samantha Barry, who walks from home to work in her pair and reports that the chunky heels are “perfect for being on your feet all day.” (They also, it must be said, make for a great office outfit with a blazer, sheer tights, and a leather miniskirt.)

“Vince Camuto has remained a mainstay in my footwear collection since I was in high school. Now, in my early 30s, I still like to keep a reliable pair of the brand’s boots in my core rotation, and this block-heel style is my choice,” says Glamour contributor Shelby Ying Hyde. “This knee-high style has a classic silhouette and a round toe that looks especially great peeking out from underneath maxiskirts or flared jeans.” Online reviewers are also smitten: “I have really big feet, so it’s hard to find a less expensive boot that still looks good and has structure,” one reviewer shares on TikTok. “I tried on over 10 pairs of knee-high boots…and these are doing the job really well.”

This slouchy, of-the-moment pair from Steve Madden offers a relatively affordable way to invite soft suede, one of fall’s trendiest materials, into your wardrobe this season. The chic, supple suede outperforms its price point and elevates everything from denim skirts to wide trousers. There’s also a three-inch-high heel that’s surprisingly comfortable while giving floor-length hems a much-needed lift. In terms of sizing, reviewers warn that this pair runs slightly small, so size up if you’re unsure.

The cowboy aesthetic is having a moment this season, both among the fashion set and the general public. Western boots are leading the way, and this knee-high pair from Paris Texas is a great place to start. They have a slanted, two-and-a-half-inch block heel that’s comfortable enough for walking around the city—without sacrificing style in the process. Plus, they’re made from high-quality leather that only gets better the more you wear them; trust us. The best part? These quasi-cowboy boots pair seamlessly with all-denim ensembles, which is perfect for fall 2025.

While these suede beauties are billed as thigh-high boots, we like them best at a slouchy, below-the-knee height. Rich suede and angled block heels add some Western flair to any outfit—so try slipping them over skinny jeans for an equestrian vibe or with lace tights and a midiskirt to go full boho. Plus, they work for calves of any size. “Finally, I have a knee-high boot that fits my calves and complements my legs! These boots are beautifully made,” one reviewer writes. “Girls with big calves, these are for you! Been scouring the internet and finally! Bought these in both espresso and caramel. Obsessed! I can wear them up or slouchy. Good job, Free People!”

Add some major edge to your fall ’fits with these lace-up platforms, a favorite of Glamour contributor Charlotte Twine. A taller twist on the iconic Doc Martens combat boots, they feature the same lug soles, durable leather, and devil-may-care vibe as the originals. Don’t be intimidated by the laces—there’s a side zip for easy access. “These are fabulous. They are not as stiff as most of the shoes from this brand. And you don’t need to break them in—they are so comfortable,” one reviewer writes.
