The Fall 2025 Shoe Trends That Are About to Be Everywhere

A new season means new shoes…and honestly, can there ever be too many? The fall runways during fashion month gave us a front-row look at the biggest trends, and let’s just say, our closets are about to get very busy! I’ve scoured every collection and the footwear trends for the coming months are equal parts unexpected and statement-making….from a modern twist on classic styles to fascinating shoe mash-ups. (Sneakerinas anyone?) Whether you’re into comfortable leather loafers or ultra modern peep-toe heels, there is something you’ll fall in love with this season. Consider this your cheat sheet to the fall shoe trends worth obsessing over now.

SNAKE PRINT

Snake print is stealing the spotlight in Fall 2025 shoe trends. Spotted across fall collections at Khaite, Tod’s, and Miu Miu, this season’s snakeskin boots and pumps prove that animal prints are anything but basic. It’s the new neutral your wardrobe didn’t know it needed. Consider it the easiest way to add instant edge to even the most classic fall look.

WESTERN BOOTS

Western boots are riding high in FW25, from sleek ankle boots to bold knee-high boots spotted across the runways. Designers are giving the classic cowboy shape a luxe update with statement details like gold hardware, studs and fringe. Pair cowboy boots with jeans, skirts and dresses and your fall looks instantly get cooler. I personally can’t wait to break out my Chloe Susanna boots that have been a favorite in my closet for years!

PEEP TOES

Peep-toe shoes are back in the spotlight this fall, adding a chic nod to warmer days but with decidedly cooler vibes. One standout was this style from Tory Burch’s collection that added a fresh twist to the classic peep-toe with off-center cutouts and a sculptural, twisted heel. The Row is also getting in the game with this 90’s style mule. Whether you opt for classic styles or more modern updates, these shoes are the perfect transitional piece to dress up your looks.

RETRO SNEAKERS / SNEAKER BLENDS

Retro sneakers are making a serious comeback this fall, proving that sneaker trends may come and go but comfort is forever! Sporty sneakers like the iconic Adidas Sambas continue to dominate street style, while designer brands like Miu Miu are creating sneaker fusions like these ballet-flat-meets-sporty-sneakers mash-up. Retro sneakers tend to feel both nostalgic and modern, making them a great everyday shoe this fall season to pair with anything from jeans to dresses.

ANKLE STRAPS

Heels with ankle straps are everywhere this fall, adding just the right balance of polish and edge to your shoe lineup. From classic pumps at Saint Laurent to sneakers reimagined with strappy details, ankle straps are the season’s chicest way to elevate your look. Whether you’re after extra height in a stiletto or a sporty twist on everyday kicks, this detail proves that one simple strap can completely transform a shoe.

SLOUCHY BOOTS

Slouchy boots are back on the Fall 2025 runways, with Isabel Marant leading the charge with her effortless Parisian cool. From soft suede boots to relaxed leather styles, this laid-back silhouette is the chic answer to polished tailoring and floaty dresses alike. It’s perfect if you’re sliding into the Boho trend this season or just want to add a little extra edge to your everyday looks.

SQUARE TOE

This season squared-off toes are sneaking in, lending an architectural edge to everything from boots to pumps to ballet flats. The once-retro shape showed up on the runways of Stella McCartney, Victoria Beckham and Louis Vuitton looking fresh and modern. Squared-off toes have been discreetly on the rise and says you’re in the know without trying too hard.

MARY JANES

Mary Janes are sticking around this season and they’re cooler than you remember from grade school. Adding an edgier twist to classic ballet flats and patent leather heels, the iconic detail is showing up across collections and shoe styles this season. Whether you take the nostalgic route or prefer the more inventive updates, Mary Janes are a great addition to your wardrobe this fall. I’ll be pairing mine with cozy sweaters and straight-leg jeans all season long.

BOAT SHOES

Boat Shoes are officially back on deck this season, mostly thanks to Miu Miu and their reinterpretation of the preppy style in leather and suede. An evolution of the last few season’s loafers, boat shoes are decidedly more casual and effortless. Whether you’re cruising through the city streets or slipping them on for a casual office look, these borrowed-from-the-boys styles up the cool-factor no matter what you pair them with.

SOCK BOOTS

Because you can never stock up on enough boots for fall, here is another trend for you to get in on. The antithesis of the slouchy boot, the sock boot is sleek, minimalist and fits like a glove (or um, sock?). Seen on the runways at Alberta Ferretti, Miu Miu, and Fforme, this style hugs the ankle and calf for a streamlined silhouette, making it the perfect boot to slip on with wide-leg trousers, barrel jeans, or flowy dresses this season.
