Hey there, OTBT wanderers!

Enjoying your summer so far? We’re about midway through the season and currently in the midst of a massive heatwave. All these 90°F days have us blasting the AC, lathering up the sunscreen, and doing just about anything we can to keep cool in the intense heat.

And yes, we’re starting to get excited for fall to arrive.

Maybe you’re in the same boat as us. While you love all the beach trips, barbeques, and nighttime summer stargazing, you’re also secretly longing for the crisp, cool air of autumn. Hey, no judgement here. Who doesn’t love the season of pumpkin spice and cozy sweaters?

But we do have a long way to go before we get there. So before boot season is fully upon us, let’s invest in shoe styles that can pull double-duty for both summer and fall styling. We’re talking about transitional footwear, the perfect option to wear in-between seasons.

Which shoes are the best for the seasonal transition? Here’s six summer-to-fall OTBT picks that are now under $99!

Strappy Heeled Platforms

The platform sandal is a classic summer shoe staple for 2019. Chunky heels give off a bold, yet playful vibe that pairs perfectly with all your favorite warm-weather dresses and skirts. When it’s time for fall, strappy heeled platforms can effortlessly transition into the seasonal shift, with just a few simple outfit changes. Swap out the skirts and dresses for jeans and tie it all together with your favorite autumn top.

Styled after the iconic Bushnell platform wedges, the Indio is a strappy heel that’s an excellent summer transition piece. Available in Gold, Copper, Pewter, and Black, these block-heeled sandals are a modern take on asymmetrical styling.

Best of all, you can snag ‘em now for just $68.95.

Transitional Sandals

When you’re not yet ready to commit to boots, transitional sandals are sure to do the trick. Open-toe designs, cut-outs, and perforated detailing can help strike the perfect balance between summer sandal and fall bootie. Pair them with just about anything – jeggings, shorts, dresses, or skirts. They’re sure to make any outfit look awesome.

The Metaphor is still one of our favorite transitional sandals, with its adjustable ankle strap and memory foam padded sock creating a secure and comfy fit that we just can’t get enough of. This style comes in five trendy colors, including one with gorgeous, grid-cut design, if you’re looking for something with a more artisanal appearance.
