So you're on the prowl for a new pair of boots, but not quite sure where to start? Look to the heel for the style of the season. Skip the stilettos and bypass those square, chunky heels: a cone-heeled boot is the shape this fall.

The pyramid shape has been dominating the street-style scene for a few seasons now, seen on bloggers, celebrities and editors in ankle-height, tall, and over-the-knee designs. And when you think about it, the cone boot does have an undeniable versatility. The thick heel means you can keep your balance all day long. But the tapered shape gives it a little more formality for dressier occasions, too. So what if it feels a little like a too-soon throwback? Find the pair for you, below.
