Eleven Pairs of Black Suede, From Fifth Avenue to Aspen

Elle has picked eleven boots for the season, and every one is black suede. The list puts styles new this autumn next to pairs that shoppers have bought again and again. Black suede works on a crosstown walk in New York and still looks right on a cold evening in Aspen. It's the rare shoe that can be both brand-new and a long-standing favorite.
