If you’re anything like me, then you’re already sifting through the top spring shoe trends for your next buy. And this year’s list of must-haves (think: suede sneakers and classic, knee-high boots) can be found at Larroudé, a shoe brand founded in 2020 that I’ve been keeping a close eye on for the past few years. Even my mother, whose personal fashion collection includes high fashion brands like Jean Paul Gaultier and Fendi, is head over heels for their whimsical, bold designs and more accessible price points. (They’re also known to be quite comfortable, too.) So, if you plan on buying new heels, flats or boots this spring, might I suggest snagging one (or more!) of these ten styles I’m loving from Larroudé’s spring shoe collection.

I can get on board with suede sneakers, especially when they look as sleek as these athletic lace-ups that are handmade in Brazil. And they’re not just stylish either, they’re also extremely comfortable. In fact, they boast a soft, memory foam cushion in the insole, giving your feet some relief despite the thin sole. A first of its kind for the brand, I wouldn’t be surprised to see if Larroudé’s debut sneakers become the must-have trainer in a few months’ time, so I suggest you snag them in one of the seven colorways before they sell out. Oh, and they even come with two sets of laces.

This is one of my favorite sandals in my mom’s footwear collection. She’s a stylish 61-year-old who adores a unique set of heels, so as soon as she saw Larroudé’s Milan sandals, they were meant to be. Whether she styles them with her mini dresses or wears them with her straight-leg jeans, the lady always seems to get flooded with compliments anytime they’re on her feet. They even passed her comfort test, which consisted of her walking around the department store’s shoe section *multiple* times before confirming that they are, in fact, easy on the feet.

I, on the other hand, have my eyes on these adorable mules. Like the previous style, they feature a 1.8-inch sturdy block heel that’ll be a breeze to walk in and give you a little bit of height. My favorite part, however, is the lotus-printed ruffle design—it might be the most spring-worthy heel I’ve seen yet.

ICYDK, PureWow editors love ballet flats, and these macrame Mary Janes definitely deserve a spot on this list. They have a woven macrame design that’s perfect for spring, especially if your feet tend to sweat in leather shoes. “I LOVE these shoes,” says Lynne S., a customer at Larroudé. “The texture of the leather and square toe makes them extremely comfortable.” The heart-shaped buckle is a cute touch, too.

It’s wedding season, folks, and these Salma suede sandals are the ideal pair you’re going to want to wear to every ceremony on your calendar. The open-toed style features a 3.8-inch stiletto heel that one buyer finds very comfortable, with a rosette detail at the toes in a striking ivory color that pops against the black suede fabric. These are the type of heels that you’ll want to wear and re-wear often.

The Hana block heels remind me of a Parisian sandal I’d see French women wearing out and about the arrondissements, perhaps because of their femininity, strappy silhouette. They’re versatile, easy to wear (with skirts, jeans, shorts, you name it) and oh-so sturdy and comfortable, thanks to that walkable 1.8-inch block heel and memory foam.

If you’re obsessed with Prada, then do yourself a favor and invest in these sky-high pumps. The patent leather shoe, down to the pointy toe, could have fooled me into thinking this was a pair straight from one of Miuccia Prada’s collections. Yes, the 4.1-inch stilettos are pricey, but oh-so worth it if you ask me—for a few reasons. The exclusive design is as sexy as it gets, so don’t wait to get yourself a pair in one of the ten colors because they won’t be here forever.

Whether you’re a fan of trends or not, one thing we can all agree on is how classic a pair of riding boots is. Case in point: the leather Anne boots from Larroudé, which are named in honor of Princess Anne, who has often worn equestrian boots. While they are a pricey investment, these timeless boots will live in your capsule closet for years to come—so if you do the girl math on them, they’re easily worth the purchase. Best of all, there’s no zipper, giving them a super-clean and sophisticated look.

These best-selling Larroude pumps are another Parisian-inspired design. Created with comfort and versatility in mind, they’re the type of high heels that can be worn daily, no matter the season or occasion. With an adjustable ankle strap, 2.5-inch heel and a mirrored metallic finish, what’s not to love?

Platform sandals that give major Zimmerman vibes? Yes, please. I personally find platform heels really easy to wear and comfortable, because the thick base is actually rather sturdy, though the heel height makes it seem otherwise. The Dolly sandals are made from a raffia fabric that you can wear well into the summer months with shorts, sundresses, capris and so much more.
