Ever since we spotted those infinitely long thigh-high boots on Fendi’s Fall/Winter 2017-2018 runway, we were sold. Actually, the whole world was sold; every model – and we mean every single one of them – was donning these luscious boots. And if you’ve been on the streets during fashion week in one of the big four, you’d notice every single fashion endorser wearing red roaring boots. So yes, we get the memo; red boots are in, everything else is out.

Now why should you wear them? Well aside from the fact that it is totally and utterly unacceptable not to wear them, these shiny boots have the magical power to elongate your legs so much you won’t even need to wear heels. Now who wouldn’t want that?

This Fall, instead of going the usual route, take an unexpected detour down red-boot-lane and discover a world full of fashionable possibilities and endless challenges. And by challenge, we mean “what to pair them with” and “how to wear them”. We promise, with these red boots, you’ll be the source of remarkable inspiration. From Fendi, to Balenciaga, Valentino, Stuart Weitzman and so much more, we’ve scoured the top 10 red boots you should definitely own in the Fall of 2017.
