Sexy Fall Shoes

Color and Texture

Metallics are in. Black is back. Choose deep tones like eggplant, forest green, rust and brown. Leave the neon and pastel colors for summer and spring. Fall is about rich tones. Consider animal print, too!

Texture's big for sexy fall shoes, too. Slide your fingers along the smooth faux crocodile styles, or the fuzzy leopard prints on the shelves. Don't forget to buy yourself a purse to match!

The Boots

Boots always make it to the top of the list of sexy fall shoes. They're so versatile that they'll go with everything. You can even wear them with shorts, if you do it right. Wedge heels are the biggest thing right now, but don't forget about the stilettos. And, Uggs are still in! Pull them out of your closet and put your feet right in for a cozy fall--and winter!

A great example of the perfect fall boot is the Biviel 461 in Bordo from Zappos.

The Pumps

Round toe pumps are popular sexy fall shoes. You can slide into a pair of peep toe pumps with wedge heels, two more fall fads to enjoy. Put the bow on the fashion gift to yourself by choosing a touchable suede material in a deep, rich shade.

If you don't mind designer prices, the Sigerson Morrison 6702 is just what the doctor ordered to restore life to your shoe wardrobe.

All the Others in Between

If you're looking for a pair of mules, clogs or you're lucky enough to wear sandals as the end of the year draws closer, just follow the same guidelines as for boots and pumps. Doing that will help you make sure you'll be in style all season. Choose the same rich colors, metallics and don't forget about black. Don't turn your nose up at interesting textures.

For a beautiful, inexpensive and better yet--metallic--mule, consider the Fitzwell Melissa in Pewter Metallic Leather. At $49.95, this pair is quite a steal!

Of course, don't forget about flats! They're comfortable, so take advantage of them while they're red hot! One sexy look is flats with a tunic top and opaque leggings.

Where to Buy the Best Fall Shoes

Zappos has just about all the styles and brands you could hope for. Shipping's fast and free.

Shoes.com is another good alternative for all the types, colors and brands you could dream of. Shopping online is a beautiful thing.

Payless has incredibly cute styles for a low price. Save on shipping by having shoes sent to your nearest Payless store--if your retail location doesn't have what you're looking for, of course.

Never discredit department stores in your area, either. Check out Nordstrom, JC Penney, Sears and Belk. Target is another good bet. Keep your eye out for deals at the end of a season; they'll be getting rid of the old and making room for the new.
