If you’re blissfully enjoying your summer, I’m sorry to break it to you, but fall officially starts on September 22. Yes, you still have time to catch a tan and head on your summer vacation. I’m just here to let you know that crisp air and pumpkin-flavored, well, everything will arrive before you know it. If you want to stay ahead of the curve and get to preparing for the transitioning season, finding a great pair of boots is a solid place to start.

From cozy Uggs to sleek kitten-heel booties, the list below includes a range of styles. It all depends on the mood she’s gravitating toward for fall 2023. There are also plenty of dependable, everyday pairs that will last her through the season—and beyond—if practicality ends up being high up on her priority list. In the off chance that you, too, are in need of a new pair of boots before autumn kicks off, keep scrolling for 29 of my fall-boot recommendations from Nordstrom, all of which are priced below $250. Fingers crossed she finds her favorite pair (and you do too).
