Is it just us or do these boots give you a warm fuzzy, giddy-all-over feeling? It’s okay, if it’s just us; we’re used to being alone in the shoegasm department. Mary Jane got some body art, fell in love with a cowboy boot, drank too much tequila, and one fashion season later gave birth to these Gilgarran boots from Schuler & Sons at Anthropologie. They’re like Dr. Quinn - you know, the medicine woman’s - post-Civil War western boots on crack. With criss-cross laces on the outer calf and twin sets of metallic accented buckles across the vamp and heel, these rugged - old meets new - boots are perfect for your fall boot collection. They’re the perfect mix of masculine and feminine. Available at Anthropologie online.

We’ve been reporting on the clog trend for quite sometime now and while this isn’t the first season of clogs and reinterpreted clog-inspired footwear, mules, and slides, this season will certainly be its summit. How long they’ll stay there, nobody knows, but one thing is for sure, they’re certainly taking advantage of the spot light. The year of the clog isn’t just about the standard classic clog, after all. This season we’ll be seeing the clog-bottom - a key feature in clog footwear with its wooden platform and open-studding design - on all types of footwear. Here are just a few of the designs we’ve seen so far:

Steven Geraldyn Suede Clog Boots

Stuart Weitzman - Apron (Black Vecchio Nappa w/ Antique Gold) - Footwear

N.Y.L.A. Shonda Clog

Steven Grifin Platform Clogs

Stuart Weitzman - Mcallen (Nero Old West Calf) - Footwear

Sherling-cuff clog-bottomed boots from Marni

Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Wesley Oxford Clogs

So the military-trend isn’t new for Fall 2010. If you’re thinking ‘been there done that’ think again. This isn’t the military look of seasons past, with the masculine, starched, and headstrong undertones of classic military fashion. Instead, the reinterpreted military trend, takes a more modern look at “military”; understated and subdued. These military looks are more about utilizing the minor details. Rather than recreating the pomp Victorian uniform, the 2010 military trend is about function. Here are just a few of the looks to expect:

Giuseppe Zanotti Lace Up Suede Booties on Platform

Military Ankle Boot from Christian Louboutin

Steve MaddenA-RENA TAUPE MULTI

GUESS by Marciano Women’s Symone Ankle Boot

Lace-up toggle-button wedge boots from Rachel Roy

Now that we’ve told you what styles to be looking out for this fall shoe season, we’re here to break it down just a little bit more. For the next few days we’ll bring you some of our favorites from the shoe trends list, from cutouts and clogs to OTK boots and military-inspired. We’ll start this week off with some of our favorite goods from the flannel trend. Here’s a great start for fall; a material that not only looks cool, unique, and uber trendy, but is seasonally appropriate as well, which isn’t always the case when it comes to trends. Here are some for our favorite from the flannel footwear department.

Cute, simple, feminine, and casual flats from Kate Spade - Nicolina (Grey Flannel) - Footwear.

This flannel peep-toe wedge from Christian Louboutin is the perfect transitional footwear from summer to fall.

Steve Madden does flannel platform-style with the CARYSSA GREY FLANNEL.

Tory Burch’s famous casual flat design - the Serena Ballerina flat - in all its flannel glory.

Stuart Weitzman - Unibuckle (Gray Flannel) - Footwear does flannel in an office casual pump.

What would a flannel trend be without a knee-high boot version, like the Blowfish - Hottem (Grey Two-Tone Flannel) - Footwear.
