It's never a bad time to invest in some quality shoes, but there's something about this time of year that just primes us for new footwear, right?

The New Shoes on Our Radar

Looking to re-evaluate the shoes in your closet? Maybe this list will help get you going in the right direction. There are so many great styles dropping these days, we thought we would pull a few of our current favorites to showcase. From revival sneakers and hybrid loafers to some rugged boat shoes built for fall weather, these are the shoes our team can't stop talking about.

Our Picks

Aztec Suede
Boat Shoe

This summer was all about the boat shoe's return. But if you're not ready to say goodbye, then try on this autumn-ready design from Vinny's. They're handcrafted with premium, hand-stitched suede uppers that are threaded with leather laces. Ready for any forecast, the shoes have a sturdy Vibram rubber-lug soles for added comfort, durability and grip.

$370 by Vinny's

Made in USA
993 Sneaker

Just in time for Election Day, grab this Made-in-America New Balance sneakers. Originally introduced in 2008, the 993 combined elements of the two previous 99X series models, the 991 and 992, into one, streamlined design. What we really appreciate is the grey and dusty brown colorway, which makes them easy to pair with a range of pants, from navy trousers and your favorite relaxed chinos to some well-worn denim.

$219.99 by New Balance

Alexis Loafer

If you're not familiar with this French footwear brand, Jacques Solovière combines modern Parisian cool with classic elegance. This pair is cut from a single piece of grained leather, artfully constructed and finished with thin leather piping and a natural crepe rubber sole. They offer a supple yet durable fit that molds to your feet over time—and only gets better year after year.
