5 Essential Men's Boots for Fall/Autumn

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to building a fall boot collection, covering three essential tips about materials, weatherproofing, and situational appropriateness before detailing five key boot styles: chukka boots, Chelsea boots, Balmoral boots, Derby boots, and Jodhpur boots.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that boot material choice significantly affects both weatherproofing and formality—suede and waxed calf offer casual appeal, while cordovan leather balances durability with formal presentation
• The Gazette team recommends leather-soled boots be rotated with other pairs to prevent water damage, and suggests applying sole protection treatments like those made by Saphir to extend boot life
• The Gazette team presents five essential fall boot styles, each suited to different occasions: chukka and Chelsea boots for versatility, Balmorals for formal settings, Derby boots for transitional weather, and Jodhpur boots as distinctive alternatives
