Flat Boots
by By Melissa Kagan
Don't get nervous. Flat boots can be just as sexy and fashionable as high-heel boots. Besides, shown going down the runway in rich jewel tones of suede, leather and crocodile, this fall trend is going to be tough to ignore.

These Penny Loves Kenny suede slip-on flat boots ($88.95) will make you wish summer would end and fall would begin so you can wear them ASAP. Find these and other flat-tering styles at Zappos.com.
