It's that time of year again when women everywhere start to trawl high street shops and online retailers for their perfect designer shoes and autumn boots. This guide will take you through the steps to choosing the perfect boots to keep you warm and comfortable this season.

Autumn boots are probably one of the biggest footwear investments you'll make every year so it's important that you really consider every aspect and work out exactly what you're looking for. Think about the style, colour, material and design, as well as what budget you have.

This autumn boots buying guide will help you to figure what's important and what you should look for when buying your new autumn boots.

Waterproof material and sole
You won't need to worry about wet feet if you buy some good quality leather boots for autumn. When buying your boots make sure that there are no places in the design or on the sole where water will be able to leak in; there's nothing worse than having wet feet in boots. It'll also mean you can wear your new boots whatever the weather; ideal for ...
... rainy and sunny autumn days when you just can't decide on your footwear.

A slip proof and gripped sole
As it gets nearer to winter you'll want a pair of boots with a reliable gripped sole that won't slip on wet leaves or icy pavements. Look for boots with chunky ridged soles that offer plenty of grip and if your favourite boots aren't holding up, you could always rub them with a bit of sandpaper to increase their grip.

Versatile and comfortable boots
As with any footwear it's important that you buy the right size, especially if you plan on wearing your boots all day. Measure your feet and the width to get your exact foot size. Try your new boots on with the socks or tights that you plan on wearing with them the most; this will give you an idea if they fit well or not. Try walking around normally in them too, you don't want to invest in a pair of boots that you don't end up wearing because they're not comfortable or don't fit well.

Try to stay within a set budget
It might be tempting to blow your budget on those gorgeous boots you've always wanted but when buying autumn boots it's vital that you set yourself a budget and stay within it. You'll mostly be wearing your new boots for autumn and winter so keep that in mind when buying, but also remember that a good quality pair of boots should also see you through to the following autumn.

Staying in with the latest fashions
Although autumn boots need to be practical and versatile, they also need to be stylish! So when deciding which boots you want to buy take a look at the latest trends and see if any take your fancy like military style boots, shoe boots or even clog boots. But don't over do because you'll want to be able to wear them from autumn to spring, so don't buy a pair that will go out of fashion quickly.
