Edmonton shops with Fall boots made for walking
Every woman starts choosing her ideal outfit from the feet up. And, every pragmatic Edmontonian knows that boots are the best choice for traipsing the chilly streets in fall, when you could encounter everything from rain to a blizzard. These shoe stores have the best selection of boots made for walking through all kinds of fall weather.
Poppy Barley
301-10359 104 St NW, Edmonton AB T5J 1B9This amazing local company started as two sisters who really, really like boots but had trouble finding ones that fit. So, they started creating their own custom boots. To secure the perfect pair of leather boots to match your favourite party dress, you can either go to the Poppy Barley showroom to get measured or take your own measurements and submit them online. From there, pick the style and colour you want, and only a few weeks later a pair of custom boots arrives at your doorstep.
Tomkat Shoes
10336 Jasper Ave NW, Edmonton AB T5J 1Y7It’s not just a celebrity nickname for doomed couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes – TomKat is also the new name of the shoe store formerly known as Wener Shoes. Owners Tom and Kathy Holub adopted the name when they moved into a new space just down the street from their old digs. The shop still offers a fantastic array of boots that range from office party appropriate to bar star worthy, ensuring you’re ready for your any type of event (and weather).
Little Burgundy
2561-8882 170 Street NW, Edmonton AB T5T 4M2Located inside West Edmonton Mall, Little Burgundy offers a wide selection of boots for men and women. They carry everything from practical Hunter boots (perfect for rainy Fall days!) to gorgeous, slightly impractical boots from brands such as Chinese Laundry and Hibou (still great for keeping snow out!). Men will love their range of heavy-duty work boots and dressier, office-appropriate boots.
Kunitz On Jasper
10846 Jasper Ave NW, Edmonton AB T5J 2B2This family-run store has sold banging boots to people looking for the ideal footwear to match their best dress for decades, so you know you’re in good hands. Their boot selection ranges from the always-cute Miz Mooz to Cloud Footwear. Be sure to pick boots that will keep your feet dry and as comfortable as possible when the temperature starts to dip (so really, not at all comfortable. But at least your feet will look gorgeous!)
gravitypope
2-10442 82nd Avenue NW, Edmonton AB T6E 2A2This shoe store is a staple of the Whyte Avenue shopping scene. No trip is complete without stopping in to ogle one of the many, many pairs of fabulous boots here. If you’re on a mission to find fall footwear, head straight for the “As” – as in, Aigle, Acne, a.p.c., Alexander Wang and argila. So many brands, so little time to shop.
Ego-Trip Shoes
12424 102 Ave NW, Edmonton AB T5N 0M1Ego Trip Shoes is a small store whose carefully curated selection of men’s and women’s boots makes up in taste what it lacks in space. So you’ll still find yourself torn between multiple pairs of flashy boots: The party girl in you will want to go for a cute ankle boot, like the United Nude Eros in black, but the pragmatic Edmontonian in you will know to go for the Dkode Leary over-the-knee boot to keep out the rain and flakes of white flurries.
Diablo Boots
3340 Gateway Blvd NW, Edmonton AB T6J 6V1This shop, located on Gateway Boulevard, sells Canadian-made boots, including cowboy, work and biker boots for men. Each pair of tough, made-to-last boots are created in Winnipeg, meaning you can feel good about buying boots from a source close to home. Plus, they also sell western boots made with supple goat skin for women and kids, meaning the entire family can get outfitted for fall in one place.
