Your summer shoes are likely obliterated by sand, rainwater, and that unidentifiable street gook by now — and let's be honest, that stuff should probably just remain a mystery. So it's the perfect time to do a full-scale closet cleanout and replace them with more weather-appropriate options.

We chose 13 of your best fall shoe bets, all of which pass the New Yorker test: "Can I walk 30 blocks in them without needing to hail a cab? Great." Here, find our favorite ankle boots, loafers, ballet flats, and more, plus where to buy them.
