Shopping for a new coat or a bag is certainly fun, but nothing compares to the thrill of buying a new pair of shoes. And, come fall, it’s going to be very hard to pick just one. Alexander Wang, Altuzarra, and Phillip Lim showed sleek black ankle boots that can easily transition an outfit from day to night.
