8 boots the Mamamia team are eyeing off this month.

Over the last couple of weeks, it has really started to get chillier in NSW. The days feel a little shorter, it gets darker earlier, and in the words of John Snow, it has become abundantly clear that winter is coming. 

Sure, rolling out of a toasty bed will definitely be harder, but you know what we get to look forward to?

Boot season (!!!!). She's here.

We're bringing our boot collections out of hibernation, and likely on the hunt for a cute new pair to fill that gap in our winter wardrobe. Boot shopping though isn't for the fainthearted, I see it as kind of like jean shopping. 

It's a game of endurance. You try a thousand pairs, nothing is nailing the brief, and you almost always end up leaving 17 shops a bit defeated. 

But the Mamamia team have been busy. We've trawled our way through Myer’s ShoeHQ collection, home to over 300 pairs of the ultimate winter boots, and picked their favourites for autumn/winter 2023 we think you're gonna like.

Here are 8 to get you started.

Sandler Hampton Heeled Boots in Nude Stretch, $169.95

“I always go for the staple piece. Every time I shop for shoes I have two key criteria: 1. They must be neutral enough to go with everything and 2. They will last me for more than one season. 

"The Sandler Hampton Heeled Boots have ticked the boxes for me. Whether you are wearing jeans and a t-shirt, or a blazer and pants, you will be able to finish off the look with the boots working like the ‘cherry on top’ of my outfit. Timeless. Obsessed.” - Jaslyn, Brand Partnerships Executive

Ravella Hale Black Smooth Ankle Boots, $119.95

“A solid pair of black boots is everything I love about winter. Imagine it. A trench coat. Block sunglasses. Black skivvy. Paired with these Ravella Hale chunky black boots.

I also love that these boots don’t necessarily have a ‘heel’, but the thick sole still gives 5cm of height, making them perfect for the everyday wear when you want to feel a little bit taller, but don't want to wear a dramatic and uncomfortable block heel ” - Jessica, Sales Executive

Jane Debster Germaine Brown Glove Boots, $329.95

“Typically, I opt for the short ankle boots, but this year after seeing a friend look absolutely STUNNING in a pair of knee high heeled boots, I think I am a convert. And the Jane Debster Germaine Brown Glove Boots are my pick for the season. My fave look with them is with a shorter skirt, and then a long trench over the top, so the boots really get to shine. 

And side note, if you love these as much as me, I would definitely suggest getting them in a couple of colours. They come in brown (pictured above), mid-brown, black and tan, so you really can wear them with any look.” - Bec, Brand Partnerships Executive

Sandler Drake Boots in Black Leather, $299.95

“I am a girl who likes to stick to the classics, and there is nothing better in winter than a knee-high pair of shiny, smooth, stunning, black boots. 

"This season, I am all for the Drake Boots in black. The small block heel makes them perfect for everyday wear, yet the slick almond shaped toe, and classic detailing, keeps them ultra-stylish. I'll be pairing them with a pair of stockings and a blazer dress on my office days, or jeans and a loose shirt on the weekends. This pair truly are a classic which can be styled up or down. Love, love, love.” - Milena, Client Partner Audio

Ravella Keira Boot in Bone Smooth, $129.95

“I feel like this year, white boots will be everything. And these Keira Boots in Bone Smooth are the pair I have my eye on this winter. 

"I am absolutely obsessed with the contrast with the black block heel, not only because it looks really cool, but also because it makes these shoes versatile in what I can pair them with. I also want to shout out to the elastic gusset, there is nothing worse than a pair of shoes with no stretch that rub and cause blisters, so I love that these have a little bit of stretch, which means more comfort.” - Talecia, Social Media Producer

Ravella Hammond Black Smooth Boots, $119.95

“In my opinion, everyone needs a pair of combat boots. You literally can never go wrong adding them to an outfit – whether it be a pair of baggy ripped jeans, or a maxi dress it always looks fab. Personally, I love the look of these Ravella Hammond boots with a calf-length denim skirt and paired with a bright knit. Absolutely a must-buy for the cooler months.” - Laura, Social Media Producer

Sandler Vera Black Glove Boots, $219.95

“Every year, my winter workwear consists of a rotating selection of blazers, jeans, trousers and blouses, and all are always tied together with a pair of ankle boots that I will wear basically every day for the season. This year, I am all for the Sandler Vera Black Glove Boots. I love that they are minimalistic, yet ultra stylish, and SO versatile… they will be worn 5 days a week into the office.” - Sydney, Growth Marketing Manager

Jane Debster Cape Black Glove Boots, $299.95

"Give me texture on a boot and I'm in. The woven design on this Jane Debster pair is my vibe, and paired with my neutral chunky knits, jeans and long dresses beautifully. I'm a gold details girly too, and love the side zip and buckle details too." - Shell Webb, Branded Content Manager
