If you're looking for a tall boot that is a little more comfortable boot (skinny heels can be tough to walk in), choose a one to three inch heel with a rounded toe, like this Merona Manette boot. A bit more causal, this western inspired boot isn't just meant for cowgirls. This is a great everyday boot and is comfy enough to wear for hours on end.

Tall boots will keep your legs warm this fall, and if you invest in a classic pair, you can wear them for years to come. Choose a black or brown boot (they will go with almost anything in your wardrobe) that is fitted throughout the leg. This knee-high Studio Paolo 'Nicole' boot is a dressier boot that can be paired with a skirt that hits just above the knee or with a dress and tights. For a more casual look, tuck in skinny jeans.

If you don't typically wear heeled boots, choose a stacked heel, like this Dr. Scholl's Adler Shootie. The two inch heel adds height, while still being wearable and easy to walk in. If brown isn't your color, this suede boot also comes in black and navy.

The great thing about ankle boots is that they go with everything. If you're only looking to get one pair of short boots this fall, invest in a black leather pair like this N.Y.L.A. 'Tacey' Oxford-Style Bootie from Nordstrom. With a lace-up front, studded trim detailing and a wooden heel platform, this boot looks high fashion, yet is affordable.

Red was a hot color on the runway this fall and boots are no exception. In addition to being a trendy color, this Maylee boot has fold-over detailing and a back bow for a feminine feel. This boot probably isn't something you'd wear to the office, but it is perfect for weekends and for a night out.

Traditional black, grey and brown boots are a great addition to any fall wardrobe, but you can spice things up this season by adding color to your footwear. Choose a short boot (knee-high colored boots get to be a bit too much color) with a dark, rich hue, like this INC Platform boot. The grape color is bold without being too bright and the unique cut-out detail is eye-catching.

What are your favorite kind of boots for the fall?
