Leaves changing color and a crisper breeze can only mean one thing: Autumn has arrived! And while that means the tank tops and sandals of summer will need to be packed away for a few months, there’s no need to be sad. Even though the colder seasons mean wind and rain and sometimes frost, they also mean fun fall footwear, like boots! This season, think sustainable and recycled when shopping for boots. That means avoiding leather and wool, and opting for natural and vegan materials instead. Here are some of the most exciting fall boot styles you can wear without a guilty conscience.

Morigami Houndstooth Sparkle Boot by Sugar Shoes

Perfect for skipping down the sidewalk and kicking big piles of leaves, these faux wool boots feature a basket-weaved faux black and white houndstooth print with sparkles sewn right into the fabric! Two side bows keep the boot snugly in place, while the super soft plush black faux fur interior, padded footbed and rubber sole protect your feet from the elements. (From $49)

Red Vegan Women’s Wrap Boots by TOMS

These aren’t your everyday boots. Wrap them up for a tall boot look, or keep them low to wear with jeans. Either way, the punchy red color adds excitement to any outfit! These boots are not made with animal products and feature TOMS’ signature canvas insole with cushion for comfort. Also, keep in mind that with every pair of TOMS shoes you purchase, one pair is donated to a child in need! (From $98)

BRRlin Women’s Boots by Simple

If the thought of cold weather makes you shiver, these are just the boots to warm you up. This scrunch boot is made with eco-certified suede uppers, and features nickel– and lead-free buckle detail. The midsole is made of EVA with BIO-D and the outsole is made of 30% recycled rubber and 70% natural rubber with BIO-D, which means this shoe will biodegrade in 20 years in a landfill or compost heap. Also, both the foot form inserts and the shoebox are made from post-consumer recycled paper. (From $85)

Riding Boots by GoMax Concorde

Featuring burnished brown vegan leather with a crinkled finish, these equestrian-style boots will become an essential part of your fall wardrobe. Tonal topstitching highlights the pieced design, with a 15-inch side zipper at instep and an elegant round toe. Pair it with tights and a skirt, and you’re ready for whatever Mother Nature throws at you. (From $71)
