The leaves are browning, October is upon us, and it's time to pull your neglected boots out from the depths of your wardrobe. Keep them somewhere handy because, for the next few months, you won't want to wear anything else.

In the UK, we're all seasoned experts in wearing boots. Our reliance on hard-wearing footwear means we've tried just about every variation—knee-high, heeled, lace-up and Chelsea. This autumn essential is well loved in all its forms.

You probably already have a pair of flat boots in your collection if for no other reason than they're an easy option when you don't want to think that hard about your outfit.
