Lauren gave the classic riding boot a contemporary edge, shortening its shaft height to make it a more wearable bootie. The sensible yet stylish block heel and almond-shaped toe render it a must-have for the fall season. Bonus: the brass stirrup on the outer ankle ensures this shoe is just as suited for the racetrack as it is the city street.
