There’s something that feels just effortlessly cool about a boot that looks a little lived in from the start. Enter the slouchy boot, the laid-back yet luxe silhouette that’s shaping up to be one of the best fall boot trends we’re seeing everywhere right now. Spotted across the fall/winter 2025 runways at Balmain, Rick Owens, Isabel Marant, Louis Vuitton, and JW Anderson, this relaxed shape offers a softer counterpoint to the season’s traditional structured tailoring and sharp, clean cuts.
Designers reimagined the classic boot in supple, draped leathers, rich suedes, and high-shine finishes that hit right around the calf or ankle. Some brands leaned into the revival of boho ease with ruching and stacked heels, while others channeled sleeker, sculptural designs.
