6 Shoe Trends We Can't Wait to Take for a Spin This Fall
Leopard Print
Leopard is so hot right now. If you’re not ready to go all in with a dress or coat, a chic pair of shoes is a great way to dip your toe—literally—into the trend.
Get the look: Sam Edelman ($170); Marc Fisher LTD ($200); Rag & Bone ($475)
Clunky Sneakers
Giant, chunky sneaks have been going strong for a while, and they’re not going anywhere this fall. Comfier—and way more supportive—than heels, they’re very fashion-y but don’t take themselves too seriously. (As in, you wear them knowing and accepting that they’re kind of ugly.)
Get the look: Zara ($70); Puma ($100); Jeffrey Campbell ($145)
Western Boots
Bows
Speaking of feminine pieces, expect to see a lot of bows this fall. Similar to how we’d style Western boots, we love the idea of pairing bow-laden flats or heels with more masculine pieces like trousers and oversize coats.
Get the look: Louise et Cie ($130); Tory Burch ($258); Gucci ($595)
Lug-sole Boots
Where fashion meets function, these boots will get you through the ravages of fall and winter weather without sacrificing anything, style-wise. Wear them with cropped or rolled pants to show them off in all their glory.
Get the look: MIA ($80); Dr. Martens ($140); 3.1 Phillip Lim ($595)
