16 Boots To Slip Into This Spring

Because no one wants to wear sandals on the subway

by Jenna Igneri

In a season filled with mules and sandals, some of us just can’t get behind the idea of an open toe shoe. Maybe we have to ride the subway back and forth to work every day, or maybe we just don’t have the damn time to get biweekly pedicures. Or maybe, we’re simply boot people. Whatever the reason may be, we get it, and we got you.

Luckily, boots don’t have to be a fall or winter thing. There are plenty of spring-y, even summer-y, boots out there that you can wear well into September—no pedicures required. We found the 16 sweetest pairs you can shop right now, from buttery pastel suede booties to embroidered cowboy boots, that feel as light as the rest of your spring wardrobe.

Check out our picks for spring boots, below.
