Fall, or boot season, as it’s known in the men’s fashion world, is one of the most fulfilling times of the year. There’s a certain magic that comes with a good pair of men’s boots, but when you can get them for a bargain, the magic increases tenfold. Right now, the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days are lush with men’s boots for every guy in any situation, whether they’re for a job site, for staying warm, or just for looking cool.
With brands like Clarks, Thorogood, and Keen each offering some of their bestsellers at a great price during October’s Prime Day, things can get overwhelming very quickly. And because the sale only runs from October 10 to 11, 2023 12am PT, it’s almost like there isn’t enough time to consider all of the options.

To help you save time sifting through the boot deals on Amazon during the 48-hour sale, these are the 15 to look at first.
Best Fashion Boot Deals During October 2023’s Prime Day
The Vostey Causal Oxford Boots are a fantastic bargain boot for men who live in areas prone to rain or snow because they’re built with a rubber sole and are water resistant. It’s a great-looking fashion boot in a classic lace-up style that pairs well with a seasonal denim-clad outfit.
What Customers Say: Aside from raving about the affordable price, many customers note the great aesthetics of this Vostey boot, describing it as edgy, versatile, and borderline Western. One customer even bought them to wear at a Renaissance festival and said they fit in perfectly. Some have said they run a little narrow, so for wider-foot fellas, it’s worth considering a half-size up.

Clarks is the originator of the desert boot—a chukka-style boot with a crepe sole that was originally intended for use in the desert. Today, they’ve become a menswear staple to be worn with jeans, chinos, and really anything. The Bushacre, a newer desert boot style from Clarks, in the “Sand Waxy Suede” colorway is one of the nicest looking.
What Customers Say: Some say they prefer these to the original Clarks desert boot because of the thicker suede upper and sole but note to pay attention to the sizing, which can run a bit large. One customer added to their review, saying after a year of wearing the boots to work almost every day, they “could not be happier.”

The Rockport Storm Surge is a good waterproof boot for men who commute to work thanks to its lug sole and seam-sealed construction. During the late fall and winter months, even the shortest of walks to work can be hell with bad footwear. Thankfully, Rockport has added a padded collar and shock-absorbing tech in the heel for added comfort to complement the weatherproofing.
What Customers Say: Customers seem to gravitate toward buying this boot either multiple times or in multiple colors because of how well it’s performed both as a fashion boot and as a work boot. Many express their delight with the quality waterproofing with one customer even giving the edge to this Rockport boot over their Danners.
