Top 10 Fall 2019 Shoe Trends

IRREGULAR HEELS: This isn't the first season irregular heels have graced the runways, but this time, we have a feeling they're here to stay. Now that fast-fashion brands have begun to produce their own affordable versions of the style, they've become a lot more accessible. Our pick from Mango features a subtle geometric heel that's ideal for easing into the trend.

SLOUCHY BOOTS: Forget everything you know about the slouchy boots of the 2000s, because these are not them. The likes of Isabel Marant, Marc Jacobs, and Celine sent slouchy boots of all shapes and sizes down the runways, and they're back and better than ever. Pair them with a skinny jean (also back and better than ever) to offset the bulky silhouette.

CAGE DETAILS: Trendy and conveniently supportive. Our pick comes in a fun key lime color that we also expect to make big strides this fall.

WESTERN BOOT: Western boots have been gaining ground for a few seasons now, and they're also one of the most wearable trends on the runway. Pair them with floral dresses to effortlessly transition your summer staples into the fall.

EMBELLISHMENTS: We don't like to play favorites, but the revival of the embellished shoe trend is one we can't get enough of. Luxe details like crystals, beads, and sequins have the ability to take your most basic pieces from boring to beautiful in a heartbeat.

TOP STRAPS: Crazy how the addition of a little top-strap can breathe brand new life into an ordinary kitten heel. Think of these as the big-girl version of your elementary-school-era Mary Janes.

ANKLE WRAPS: From Zimmerman to Balenciaga, ankle wraps were huge on F/W '19 runways. Opt for a barely-there silhouette like these beauties from Stuart Weitzman—they'll be a go-to for nights on the town.

CHUNKY SOLES: Chunky soles have been a controversial trend for a few years now, but according to this season's runways, they're not going anywhere. This pair can add interest to the simplest outfits (check out that pretty pink shade!), and they're cozy to boot. 

SQUARE TOES: In case you missed the memo, round toes are so 2000 and late. From booties to sandals to slingback flats, a polished square toe can add instant sophistication to any everyday look.

TEXTURES: Adding some unique textures—a.k.a. satin, metallic leathers, foil, PVC—into your shoe rotation can majorly amp up your daily ensembles. The Carrie Bradshaw in us all is head-over-heels for this trend, and even more specifically, these stunners.
