Stomp all over town! Combat boots are trending this fall and stars like Willow Smith and Irina Shayk are making the '90s favorite look better than ever
It's time to bid farewell to your favorite summer sandals. But rest assured, fall's trending footwear is just as comfortable.
With no big parties or events to attend this season, sexy sky-high stilettos are on pause for more functional and practical footwear.
Stars like Willow Smith and Irina Shayk are stepping out in combat boots. And with clever styling tricks, they are making the '90s-inspired bada** booties their own.

Feel can breathe a sigh of relief: Stars like Willow Smith and Irina Shayk are stepping out in combat boots
Grunge with a twist
Before walking the catwalk at Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 2 in Los Angeles, California, Willow Smith strutted her stuff on the carpet looking fierce.
The 19-year-old daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith rocked a mostly all-black ensemble consisting of shorts, a graphic tee and an overcoat.
Her edgy and of-the-moment getup was made complete with the ultimate sign of youth rebellion: Dr. Martens '1B60 Virginia' lace-up boots.
Unlike short styles, the shaft of the tall boot hits just below the knee elongating the look of the leg.
A full face of makeup softened Willow's overall appearance and added just the right amount of feminine flair to her grunge look.

Feminine + edgy
Irina Shayk had her toned legs on full display in a floral mini dress while out and about in Manhattan.
The mom of one added a semblance of toughness to an otherwise feminine look with the J BRAND Elsa Birthday Blazer in black leather from the J BRAND X @HOSKELSA capsule collection.
Dr. Martens 1490 Quynn Boots featuring buckles and oversized slot eyelets took the 34-year-old's flouncy frock from uptown girly to downtown chic.

'90s perfection
Bradley Cooper's ex is a fan of juxtaposition, and pulled out the style savvy move once more while walking to Pilates class in Tribeca.
All eyes were on her in her cobalt blue motorsport-inspired mini dress with a top-to-bottom zipper down the front.
Irina accessorized the body-hugging number with a By Far bag, rectangular sunglasses and lace-up GAO High Boots.

Street style: Actor, model, and activist Indya Moore was spotted in Soho looking downtown cool in a DKNY sweatshirt and boots
Casual cool
Actor, model, and activist Indya Moore was spotted in Soho looking downtown cool.
The 25-year-old 'Pose' star was wearing a DKNY Sweatshirt from the brand’s Fall 2020 #DKNYSTATEOFMIND campaign.
The custom black hoodie reads 'You own everything of yours and you own nothing of yours' with DKNY letters highlighted in white throughout.
Billy Porter, Cynthia Erivo, Kerry Washington, Kim Kardashian West, Lais Ribeiro, Nick Wooster and Storm Reid are just few other celebs who also own a pullover featuring an empowering statement.
Indya teamed her graphic hoodie with light-wash ripped denim shorts and black chunky sole leather boots.
While she could have worn sneakers with her casual everyday separates, boots turned the fashion dial of her errand-running outfit up a notch.
