Today on Better.tv, we showed off our favorite fall shoes – and because we think they’re so great, we’re also giving you a chance to win a pair from three of the brands featured. Read on to find out how.
Trend 1: Over the knee boots
This up-to-there footwear is definitely trendy, but this season we’re looking for pairs that are simple enough to have staying power that lasts into next season, too.
The Cynthia Vincent Reva ($270) and Nicole Right Now ($175) are both ideal for this purpose, in versatile neutrals with fold-down cuffs and reasonable heels.
Trend 2: Ankle boots
The beauty of an ankle boot like this one from Cynthia Vincent ($350) is that you can wear it with almost anything: Opaque tights and a dress for some night-out attitude, wide-leg trousers at work for a classic look, skinny pants tucked in on weekends…the list goes on.
We’re giving away a $100 gift card to Piperlime, where all three of these boots are for sale. See below to enter.
Trend 3: Pointy flats
This more refined take on the ballet flat is perfect for work – it’s elegant like a heel, but totally comfortable. We especially like the Sam Edelman Delancey ($110) – it’s lightweight and flexible, and come in pretty fall colors, in addition to basic black.
We’re giving away a pair of Sam Edelman shoes. See below to enter.
Trend 4: Modern Mary Janes
Mary Janes are a slightly playful alternative to the everyday work pump, and Frye’s Betty Pump ($168) has a chunky, walkable heel we wouldn’t mind wearing all day.
We’re giving away a pair of Frye’s Betty T-Strap Pumps. See below to enter.
How to enter: Leave a comment below about your favorite fall shoes. One winner each will receive a $100 Piperlime gift card, a pair of Frye Betty T-Strap pumps, and a pair of Sam Edelman shoes.

Avoid Winter Doldrums with Franco Sarto Boots
I love the versitality of the knee high boots. You get two looks in one boot, fold down or wear up, Couldn’t get any better!
I love a good t-strap shoe — with my separates at work they add a nice touch. And as a runner, the flats save my calves on my long run days!
Boots are a must for fall. I would wear a pair every single day. I especially like the simplicity of the boots shown above. They seem to be very versatile.
I love the over-the-knee style of boots, but what styles would be good for a 40-50yo professional?
Boots, Boots, Boots! You can never have too many boots for the fall and winter.
I love boots. They just seem to signal cooler weather, warm fires and mugs of cider.
A weathered everyday boot. Not too much of a heel but not flat.
Love, love, LOVE the over the knee boots. They are a must have this fall. Damn the economy!
I love Frye’s fall line: the Betty pumps and boots, Molly flats and the Allie pumps!
I’m loving the over the knee boots!
I hate the ballet flats, but boots? Yeah!
I love the over the knee boot trend. They make a statement and they are practical for fall and winter cold weather. Anything that helps to keep dresses in my wardrobe in the colder weather is a favorite of mine.
I love a pair of flirty t-strap Maryjanes! They go well with almost everything and they’re comfortable to wear. I feel great wearing them!
I too am loving the boots for fall. It’s just the rest of my wardrobe that needs to keep up!
I love the pointy flats for fall–and I’d pick the Sam Edelman Delancey shoes in mustard–such a perfect autumn hue!
For sure – the over the knee boots! and once I establish income :] I will be set for fall
I look forward to fall so I can start wearing my knee high boots again. I am a boot freak.
I live where it is toooo cold and boots are my lifesaver. There is always room for one more pair. Really must check out the new knee high styles.
I love the way my lady looks in the Mary Jane T strap shoe. It reminds me of the ballroom dance shoes she used to wear and the slow sexy dances we enjoyed together.
I love the ankle boots they go so well with slacks.
I love the idea of boots, but am always afraid to commit to a pair. I think I don’t have the right wardrobe to pull them off. I love the Mary Janes. Those I could do! Thanks for the info.
I’ve been rockin my Miss Sixty boots for the past few fall seasons. They’re so worn out I’ve been asked several times if they’re vintage. Time for an update. My feet will thank you Piperlime!!!
I am loving the over-the-knee boots, but I don’t have a pair yet. As for shoes I own, I have a great pair of steve madden booties with a peeop-hole and bow on the heel. soooo sexy.
I have been looking for some riding style boots the ” Nicole Right Now” boot is perfect!
Winter has hit early in NYC…last year’s boots missing part of the sole and not cutting it for these cold mornings. Would love some new boots!!
I decided that the best way to update my look for the fall was with new shoes – so far I’ve gotten over-the-knee suede boots, and really want to try booties, modern mary janes, and cowboy boots – one fall trend you left off this must-have list!!!
I love the Modern Mary Janes and the Ankle boots.
My favorite fall shoes are definitely my ankle boots! I love how I can wear them with just about anything. Lord knows it takes me forever to get ready anyway, at least I can cut some time down by having such a versatile shoe!
The modern mary janes are great, a far cry from when I was a kid. I hate to admit it, but shoes make my mouth water.
My favorite fall shoe is ANY shoe – or boot! However, my favorite staple any time of the year is a quality Mary Jane.
Fall is the perfect time to break out a great pair (or a few pairs) of boots! That is definitely one of my favorite parts of falls, getting to wear boots again.
I love the Mary Janes. They have a classic look and a great tip from Michelle Maddock about wearing colored or textured tights with them! How fun!
I love bith the Ankle Boots and the MaryJanes……..fun and fresh!
I love the flexibility of wearing a mid-height boot: it can be worn over skinny jeans for a hip sexy look, or under flare-leg jeans for a more sophisticated look. if you invest in a pair of good, leather, durable boots, you can wear them season in and season out!
I like the ankle boots I’ve seen that can be paired with jeans. I want them!
I love the Cynthia Vincent Women’s Reva Boot. they can give me some heighth and keep me warm all winter long! especially in seattle
I love boots, but they can’t have a zipper. Guess I have FAT legs. I prefer to think of them as plump!
The t-straps look great for some of us who are no longer teenagers and still want high heels. And winters get cold here so more boots are are always a welcome addition!
My favorite Fall shoe is going to be a flat pointy suede.
I really love the chunky Mary Jane heel.. You get a little sexy,,but also comfort….
Fall weather is here and its time for a new pair of boots! I love that boots are still in style, they keep are legs so much warmer.
Love the tall boots, they’re a real turn-on. They are especially appropriate for cooler weather.

I love the Sam Edelman pointy toed flats. Great for work as it’s professional looking, great for commuting, and they look pretty!
brown boots are always good for fall.. i dont think they ever go out of style.
Interesting to see ankle boots still around. They’re just not as versatile and flattering as knee-high boots. Love that the flat knee-high boot took off from last year’s heeled ones. Also, appreciating the subtle point on the flats.
i love the t-strap–it reminds me of all the dancing shows on tv & of my grandmother’s style with 40’s dresses
with the way it has been raining the last 2 days looking at Keen

MUST have those red flats! They are my fav of your lineup — so super cute & love that punch of color on these gray days!
It’s hard for me to choose between the ankle boots which are so versatile and cool and the ballet flats which are pure comfort and cute also. Thank you!
My favorite fall shoe is definitely boots! I love the knit boots that Ugg and BearPaw have… they resemble sweaters, which is also a fall favorite of mine!
I love ankle boots with a small heel.
I am really in need of new boots so this would be great! I wear then always not just fall, for job, most practical. There is a great new pair I have had my eye on at PPL. Would be wonderful to win! Bad economics this year have hindered efforts to replace or repair…
Brenda
I like the pointy flats. I’m all about the flats – not too much use for boots in SoCal!
love this stuff

My favorite fall shoes are ankle boots.
My favorite fall shoes are my Coach boots
I have loved boots for many many years, still do and probably always will. From anklet boots, to thigh high, heels to work boots, I love them all. There is a pair for any and everything, from dress to casual to hard work or play. Boots do it all.
These boots are absolutely adorable, oh how I will miss my pedicures this fall!
My favorite shoes for fall depend on the occasion, of course, but usually they are boots. Dressy or casual, my favorite boots can take me pretty much anywhere in the fall!

I like comfortable slouchy boots for fall
I love the modern mary janes! super cute!
A good pair of all-weather clogs are a necessity for fall yard clean-up and dog walking, but for the *real world* I love suede mary jane type shoes.
I love boots for the fall and winter. Esp. high suede ones!
The ability to fold down the top of the knee boot is off the chain. I have tall boots, but they stop before my knees.
my favorite fall shoes are high boots, leather and preferably brown! i have about three pairs, and the more worn they get the better they look!
My favorite fall shoe is the pair of Modern Mary Janes. They are too cute.
I have new black motorcycle boots that I cannot wait to wear with a cute skirt! Thanks.

Favorite fall shoes would have to be the Uggh boots. So soft and comfortable!! Thanks for the chance at these great prizes!
I love fall boots – short ones, tall ones, boots are by far my favorite thing for fall!
I love the look of boots for Fall with the versatility and comfort of a shoe and L.A.M.B. Joelle Shoes/Boots are the very best combination of both “looks” and what I love most to wear during our beautiful brisk Fall Season here. I took a trip to NYC last year and bought this really amazing pair of L.A.M.B. shoes that were a special treat for myself, not something I an afford to do very often for myself. They resemble the Joelle shoes/boots but are last years version. I adore them and wear them every chance I can in the Fall. I would love to add a few new looks to my wardrobe this year so THANK YOU SO MUCH for the chance to enter!
I’m torn between the pointy flats and the Frye’s Betty T-strap pumps. Since I crave comfort, I’d probably want to try the pointy flats first.
I love the Nicole Right Now boots for fall!
My favorite fall shoes are feminine little brown Mary Janes.
The flats by Sam Edelman are so adorable! They could easily be worn with jeans and a plain tshirt, or can be dressed up for a classier look. So cute!

The t-strap goes with casual to jeans. If the shoe fits, I wear it. I do a lot of wallking with my husband and neighbors, sturdy walking shoes rule the day here.

For fall I always love a pair of nice tall boots. I have a hard time finding the right pair for me though because I need something stretchy to make up for a physical flaw or they must be over the knee style. I also unfortunately can’t do heels that are too high as much as I would love to!
