What do you and trees have in common? You’re both dropping green this season — only you’re doing it in the name of fall shoes.

	Good to Be Plaid Plaid is like Splenda for fall fashion: Add a pinch to anything, like See by Chloé lace-up booties ($350), and the whole ensemble gets a lot sweeter.
	Smokin’ Quack From work to wetland, L.L.Bean’s fleece-lined Ducktrap boots ($179) combine nylon, leather, and rubber for unpredictable weather days.
	Easy Rider If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it — but feel free to add some back-strap detail. Cynthia Vincent’s classic flat riding boots ($395) are a stable staple.
	Tip the Scales Pair reptilian oxfords ($145) with a fedora, a blazer, or both, and you’ll look like a chameleonaire. (That style is so loud, we’re swangin’.)
	Business, Casual Step aside, mullet. The penny-keeper and rubber heel on Sperry Top-Sider Darlington shoes ($110) scream business in the front, party in the back.
