For most of the year, a few solid pairs of dress shoes and a stylish pair of sneakers are all you need to rotate between formal and casual footwear. Now that it's getting colder outside, having a nice pair of boots to add to your rotation is a must.
While buying dress shoes and sneakers can become very expensive, finding a pair of fall boots can easily empty your pockets, too.
If you walk into any department store, you can easily spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of boots, but with a little bit of searching online, you can lower your budget to $200 or less and find plenty of options to fit your personal style.
Whether you're looking for Chelsea boots, chukkas, or wingtips, you can definitely get a fashionable boot without breaking the bank. Brands like Clarks, Timberland, Thursday Boot Co., and L.L.Bean all make options that allow you to walk in style this fall.
To save you some time and money, we rounded up the 10 best fall boots for under $200. You can check out our list of fall boots under $100 here as well.
Thursday Boot Co. Duke Suede Chelsea Boot
Thursday Boot Co.
Chelsea boots can easily be very expensive, but at $199, the Thursday Boot Co. Duke is affordable, stylish, and of insanely good quality.
While the pictures look appealing, my first impression was that they look even better in person. The shoes feature a rich honey suede, brown elastic sides and pull tabs, and a dark brown leather accent. Before putting them on your feet, you'll know they're of good quality by holding them in your hand. Due to thick suede on the outside, thick leather on the inside lining and insole, and a solid rubber studded outsoles, the shoes have a weight that indicates a premium construction.
Thursday Boot Co. makes all of its boots by hand in small batches. I went down half a size and the shoes fit perfectly. These will be one of my go-to casual boots this fall.

The J&M 1850 Meritt is another boot that's great for wearing formally. With a wingtip design and a brogue pattern, they look like a sharp pair of dress shoes. Coming in a tan Italian leather, the boots will surely catch people's attention.
