With access to the priciest shoe brands on the market, celebrities know a thing or two about putting their best foot forward.
For proof, look no further than Cardi B’s “red bottoms,” Carrie Bradshaw’s $40,000 shoe closet or Lady Gaga’s towering 8-inch platform heels.
Not all of stars’ favorite footwear risks breaking the bank (or breaking ankles), however, with plenty of celebs and royals regularly reaching for durable designs from the likes of Ugg, Timberland and Hunter.
With the chilliest season upon us, we’ve broken down the best celebrity-loved boot brands below, from splurge-worthy thigh-highs to fashion-forward cowboy boots.
After all, while some footwear fads come and go in a flash, it’s unlikely celebrities will be giving these longtime footwear favorites the boot anytime soon.

When it comes to shoes with slipper-like comfort, nothing beats Ugg. While the brand’s tall sheepskin boots were ubiquitous in the 2000s, you’ll most open spy today’s stars in the shorter “minis” — and Ugg’s recently taken its popularity to (literal) new heights launching platform styles loved by Gigi Hadid, Keke Palmer, Kylie Jenner and more.

Promising “sneaker-like comfort,” Vivaia’s chic water-repellent styles have caught on with stars like Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts and Whitney Port. In fall 2024, the direct-to-consumer brand even got Oprah’s coveted stamp of approval when she wore her Regina Square-Toe Heeled Boots for a book talk.

Hunting for weatherproof boots that don’t sacrifice style? Hunter’s classic rain-ready designs are a celebrity favorite, popping up everywhere from festival fields — Kate Moss famously wore a pair to Glastonbury in 2005 — to HBO sets and concert stages. In addition to celebrity fans like Sarah Jessica Parker, Taylor Swift and Jennifer Garner, the brand’s a longtime go-to of the royal family’s, and even holds a royal warrant.

Steve Madden

Steve Madden’s trendy designs have been “It” girl style staples for years. While stars like Latto and Chloe Cherry have modeled in the brand’s campaigns, Selena Gomez, Margot Robbie and Charli D’Amelio (to name just a few) have rocked the designs off-duty.
Page Six Style & Shopping Director Elana Fishman’s obsessed with the brand’s Jones Boots, which look strikingly similar to The Row’s Zipped Boots but cost a fraction of the price.
“These boots look and feel far more expensive than they actually are,” she’s raved.
