11 Moc Toe Boots You Should Wear Every Single Day This Fall

If we're doing one smart thing for the fall, it's getting boots you can wear every day that also function in bad weather. These are made with waterproof leather on the top, and a cushioned mid and outsole. Though, we would wear them in more of a just in case scenario rather than on purpose and into a blizzard. The laces are not waterproof, and the crepe sole is not great on ice or other slick surfaces.

All of the workwear aesthetic with none of the asbestos! Excellent. These boots are a great middle ground choice: solid materials, made pretty well, and smooth enough of a look to make styling easy. They're comfy, too. We like this varying brown colorway, which feels laidback.

Aquatalia's water-resistant leather boots are designed to function but they look heavy on the style. We like the pull tab for easy tugging on and off. The little lug sole feels modern but something that'll still work for seasons to come. They're pricier, but they're a smart investment.

If you're going heavy on the moccasin part of a moc toe boot, these suede Sebagos are everything and more. They are made with a soft suede with a standout moc toe but a stark whipstitch trim. On foot, it's like wearing slippers.

We all have Red Wing to thank for popularizing the moc toe boots, and the brand is still making its boots just as high-quality. Red Wing might be known for that bright tan leather on a white crepe sole, but we love this all black version for something that wears like a combat boots but with a workwear edge.

Another brand that brought the moc toe to the forefront: Thorogood. These are, first of all, virtually indestructible. If you want shoes that you can set and forget for years to come, these are the ones. They're made with a slip-resistant outsole and great contrast stitching. These don't have steel toe protection—these are the lifestyle version of the true workboots—which makes them a bit lighter and softer. These are classic footwear through and through.

Timberland makes tough, long-lasting shoes, and we like these moc toe boots with subtle but interesting detailing: these have a boat shoe's stitching and outsole but doesn't feel at all like wearing a traditional boat shoe. These are comfy, with a memory foam footbed. They are well-priced and the waterproof outer is a bonus.

Beckett Simonon's moc toe boots are giving expensive. We're looking much more expensive than we actually are. These boots have a stacked (and repairable) heel, rather than a crepe outsole, which makes them feel less construction site and more eating in a restaurant. There are ton of good colors, too. Black is classic but we also like the reddish Bordeaux. They will take some breaking in (that smooth leather does not have a ton of stretch on first wear) and check the brand's size guide—they run small.

If you love your Weejuns loafers (and by now, you really should), a G.H. Bass boot is the next best investment. Similar style but in fall-and-winter-appropriate form. Similar to the loafer, the boot is also heavy on heritage and wearability, but with more protection from the elements. it's a shoe that fits right in with most styles, pants, and atmospheres.

For the trendier among us, we love a chunky sole on a boot to give it a little personality. These Rag & Bone boots are well-made and super stylish, with easy laces and a cool super dark brown color that wears neutrally but changes it up if you're set on black boots. They are a solid everyday pair of boots.

Cool colors, contrast stitching, brassy eyelets. What's not to love? Grant Stone's boots are a great middle ground between workwear aesthetic but wearable many places. These are still tough, though, made with aGoodyear-welt and a supportive steel shank. They are very durable and worth the money. It's hard to pick a favorite color—there is an actually insane amount of colorways, nearly 20—but this crimson color feels unlike other boots we have.
