21 Stylish Hiking Boots for Town and Country

Over the last few seasons, a slew of designers have offered new interpretations on the rugged yet stylish hiking boot. And while we can’t guarantee all of these fashion-forward versions will be the most practical choice when it comes to actually scaling a mountain or trekking through trails this fall, they do add just the right amount of stylish grit. Whether you’re in the city or have been spending more time in the country this year, these practical hiking boots are a great choice for fall and winter. They certainly offer durability, as these pairs don’t lack the quintessential (and necessary) lug and rubber soles, which is an important factor when faced with wet or rough terrain. They don’t skimp on quality, either. All of these ankle boots and high top styles are made from either suede or leather.  The lace-up boot has been on the rise among stylish celebrities for a few seasons (whether they’re hiking or not). Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski were early adopters, and more recently, Katie Holmes wore a more practical pair from Sorel. All wore their pairs on the streets of New York City.

So, whether you’re prepping a nature-filled getaway from the city or are just in the market for new winter boots, there’s a pair of lace-ups at every price. Take your pick between metal- or matte-hardware lace hooks, mixed-media or smooth leather boots, rope-inspired laces, and even an added strap for extra fastening. One pair offers a little extra warmth with added shearling detail. Lace up into 21 of the best hiking boots for women now, though winter, and beyond.
