These Are the Best Women's Boots for Fall Travel
Here are 11 ankle boots that are perfect for packing on your next fall trip, no matter the destination or forecast.
Toms Ella Booties
Comfort plus style is always hard to find, but with these Ella booties from Tom’s, you’ll have both. Made of suede with a rubber outsole and 1-inch heel, the twin elastic gore makes for an easy on/off. You’ll be wanting one in every color to go with your entire wardrobe. Plus, Tom’s 1 for 1 program means that when you buy a pair, Tom’s gives a pair to a person in need. Available in 23 colors.
User Review: “Great shoes! This is my first pair of Toms and I have to say I will be a returning customer. I purchased these for a trip to NYC. I knew I was going to be walking around all day and wanted a comfortable bootie. Unfortunately, the shoes were delayed with shipping and I didn’t receive until the day before my trip. I was afraid to wear these because they were not worn in at all. BUT- I gave them a try and these were so comfortable- all day long- no issues whatsoever. I normally wear an 8, ordered an 8.5 and they fit great (I wore two pairs of socks with them).”
Price: Starting at $30 on Toms.com

Clark’s Women’s Sillian Sway Ankle Bootie
Comfort is key when you travel, and these booties from Clark’s won’t disappoint. Part of the Cloudsteppers line from Clark’s, these have cushion soft padding and a removable ortholite footbed. Materials are super lightweight, giving you all-day comfort as you walk to each attraction. Available in 5 colors.
User Review: “I bought these booties for a trip to New York City and put them on right away with no break-in period. I wore them for 4 days of walking throughout the city and they were very comfortable and provided great support. I bought my usual size in Clark's shoes. I highly recommend it! These booties are now my go-to for a day on my feet.”

Jack Rogers Sallie Chelsea Rain Boot
If you'd like to get away with wearing a rain boot without anyone knowing you are, in fact, wearing a rain boot, then you may have found yourself the perfect boot for traveling. This rain boot from Jack Rogers looks like your average boot, especially in black, though the other colors may give it away as being a rain boot. But if you are traveling somewhere known for its unexpected weather, these could definitely save the day. Available in 6 colors.
User Review: “These boots are great, especially for the price! I got them in red to bring some sunshine to the rainy weather, but now I am considering the navy blue ones too! They fit true to size- perfect for a pair of socks. I would suggest buying some insoles for them, though, as they have very minimal support on the inside.”
Price: From $30 on Amazon

User Review: “These boots are a dark green and so amazingly soft. They are perfect, and I think I want more colors. I ordered my regular size, and I have room for regular socks, but I could also wear lighter socks in warmer weather. If you have any doubts about this boot, they are worth the price.”
