The change of seasons means the change of wardrobe. For many students, this starts with shoes. Students look for shoes with neutral colors, and lots of texture for fall. Some shoes that are popular this year include; Ugg Ultra minis, Ugg Tasman, Blundstones, as well as Birkenstock Bostons. 

While looking for fall shoes, students look for durability, comfort, and style. 

For Sophomore Savannah Whitmer, comfort and style are equally important; 

“I love Blundstones, because they are really easy to match with certain outfits. They are waterproof, and really comfortable for school, hikes, and everything in between. I like that they are a brown color, so they match all of my fall clothes,” said Whitmer. 

These shoes allow Whitmer to do every fall activity without ever having to worry about her feet getting cold or wet.

While there are countless places to get shoes for fall around Lexington, the top spot is Walkabout Outfitters downtown. Here, you can find casual footwear like Blundstones and Birkenstocks and other cozy basics to gear up for fall. Autumn shoes like Uggs, Blundstones, and Birkenstocks can all be worn either with, or without socks, making them an extremely versatile piece to style for fall.

Freshman E.J. Clement likes both Blundstones, and Birkenstock Bostons for fall, 

“I like Birkenstock Bostons and Blundstones. I like them because they are cozy and warm, and they look super cute with literally any outfit. They can easily be dressed either up or down,” said Clement.

This allows her to have options for her footwear that go with all types of outfits. They provide style and comfort for her during fun fall times.

In conclusion, the change of season brings out a change of wardrobe. Particularly when it comes to shoes for students. This year a blend of natural colors and textures are a popular choice. Students prioritize durability, comfort, and style when selecting their fall shoes, with many favoring versatile options like Blundstones and Birkenstocks that can be worn year round.
