Once winter begins in earnest, piles of snow, slush, and slushy snow make wearing anything else damn near impossible. But right now, boots represent a welcome change of pace from the easy-wearing slip-ons we're all used to, and you should relish (yes, relish!) the opportunity to rock 'em. And a boot that'll last you way longer than it has any business to and won't cost an arm or a leg—let alone an arm and a leg—to procure? Please. We're hesitant to use the word "invest" here, because at under 250 bucks buying a pair for yourself isn't so much an investment as it is a complete no-brainer. Here are 15 pairs we love right now.

Round Out Your Fall Footwear Arsenal With These Essentials.   If you're still on the fence about "shoes" as a concept, I've got some bad news: you're going to have to wear a pair again at some point. So choose wisely. In fact, you might want to start thinking about choosing now. See, shoes make up an essential part of any transitional-weather wardrobe, and if you're looking to do the damn thing right you'll want a range of styles that mirrors the range in weather you're likely to encounter this fall. With all that in mind, we broke down in detail the twelve types of shoes you'll need for the season ahead, from boots (gasp!) to brogues (no!) and everything in between.

Nearly every demographic was affected: Black people, white people, Latinx people, and especially Native people, whose communities consistently have the highest rates in the nation. Young people, too. By the year's end, more than forty-four thousand Americans had killed themselves—an average of one suicide every twelve minutes. Researchers have identified several clusters nationwide. As the criss hit one small Arizona community, survivors have begun fighting back. For Esquire's October/November issue, Matthew Shaer spent time inside the community, getting to know those survivors. This is their story. Read More           'People Don't Understand How Hard We Work': Life Inside an L.A. Mansion Full of TikTok Influencers   "The Clubhouse" is one of several so-called TikTok "content houses" established over the past years in Los Angeles. Part production studios, part talent agencies, these houses provide influencers with a lavish backdrop for the abundance of content they make each day and a business model for them to monetize it. A management company rents the house, fills it with comely, twenty-something social-media personalities, and then brokers sponsorship deals on their behalf (for a fee, of course). Then, like a kind of Gen-Z Real World, the residents collectively vie for the most valuable commodity in the influencer economy: people's attention. Those twenty-somethings? Millions follow them on social media, but those living together in the "Clubhouse"—including standout stars Mariana Morais and Kinsey Wolanski—say few really have a clue what goes down in a day. John McDermott spent a day inside the mansion to try to get a clue for himself.
