Horse-riding isn't a standard activity that comes to mind when thinking of NYC, but urban dwellers sure can play the part when it comes to the look. Riding boots are a fall staple that never go out of style, and we have six pairs that would love to find a happy home in your closet. Trust us, investing in a pair of these is money well-spent, even if you're not ready to get back in the saddle.

Frye Julia Riding Boot $368 - So incredibly chic with a dash of red, smooth, full grain leather is stacked up on three glorious inches.

Dr. Martens Patent Leather Boots $130 - Not riding boots per se, but these shiny black kicks will do the job just fine.

Michael Michael Kors Hamilton Riding Boot $250 - Preppy in every good way, this is the all-American boot. The perfect complement to merry fall activities.

 

Topshop Prince Classic Riding Boots $300 - A metal stirrup adds a touch of the old West to two-tone leather.

Rupert Sanderson Chicago Black Leather Riding Boot $1,145 - A military-inspired bridle with removable fringe let's you change your look with your mood.
