Here They Are: Our 22 Favorite Boots of 2022

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

When we think of fashion staples, we think of boots. No matter what the temperature, they're the shoes we want to be wearing, and they come in so many different styles, colors, and materials that they just can't get boring. While we love a great t-shirt or classic pair of jeans, there's just something about boots. Whether your style is classic, edgy, or fashion forward, we found a pair of shoes that you're going to live in throughout the year. It's hard work, but someone's got to do it.

When you spy a pair of lace-up boots on your best friend, don't say we didn't warn you. Those styles will be everywhere this season; but they're not the only ones. The 2022 lineup is rife with utilitarian boots, platform styles, and Western-inspired styles; these are the picks to buy now and wear all year long. No matter what your style is, there's a chic pair of boots to match.
