Black Riding Boots

I’ve been on the lookout for simple, classic black boots and surprisingly, they’ve been hard to find!

So many have a chunky heel, or look a bit too trendy.

I ended up pulling the trigger on these tall Jil Sander riding boots. They were eye-wateringly expensive, but I liked the tall shaft and asymmetric cuffs.

For anyone else looking for simple riding boots, I rounded up my (more affordable) favorites below!

All of these black riding boots are flat, comfortable to walk in and easy to pair with any fall winter outfit.

Silhouette wise, they’re all very simple and timeless – made from supple, durable leather that will only soften with time.
