Getting ready for the fall? It seems depressing that summer is coming to an end but luckily fall fashions can be fun. One of the top trends of the past few fall seasons and continuing again in 2012 are riding boots. The great thing about riding boots is you do not need to be riding a horse to wear them. Here are five great riding boots under $200 that you should consider adding to the fall wardrobe.

These boots remind me of the Wild West. They have a buckle at the bottom and a rounded metal clip in the back giving them the cowboy feel. They are available in four colors.
