A lot has happened in the world of boots recently. All the shapes from the early aughts are back, including long, pointy-toes and squared-off versions. Conversely, moto boots are also having a moment, and knee-high styles continue to be popular, too. We surveyed the current landscape and pulled our 19 favorite styles. All are under $400, and all are leather (no PVC here).
