These Boots Were Made For Walking: 8 Fall Shoe Trends

Cooler weather leaves changing color, cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes are few of the joys of fall. If you love fashion, you might agree that one of the most fun parts of the seasons changing is switching out your wardrobe. That’s right, it’s almost time to say goodbye to that summer bikini and hello to fall layers.

Keeping up with constantly evolving clothing trends can be a challenge, but there is one sure way to up your wardrobe game. Pull together that fall outfit with the right pair of shoes! Your style expert friends at Mobile Styles, the on-demand beauty app, are here to keep you in-the-know with some of the hottest fall shoe trends straight off the runways.

1. Slouchy Boots

A great pair of slouchy boots is a classic fall must-have! Dress up your outfit with high heeled slouchy boots or keep it warm and casual with a flat pair. Isabel Marant’s collection included soft brown boots, while Tod’s included a grey slouchy wedge.

2. Red

Red is a color that is sure to stand out and get noticed. It’s a bold color choice, but it will make a statement, add some personality to your outfit, and may even be a conversation starter. It’s also a perfect way to spice up an otherwise neutral or black ensemble with a pop of color. Red and black was a popular shoe color combination, as seen at Alexander McQueen and Dior. Match your red shoes with some fun tights or take a note from the Calvin Luo runway and pair those ruby slippers with some fishnets.

3. Angled Heel Shapes

Shoes with a slightly angled heel were spotted on the runways of Adeam, Tibi, and Fendi. Whether you are going for a patent leather look with a funky angled heel or a soft suede boot, this fun trend is totally wearable because it doesn’t have to be super high. (Another popular geometrical runway trend was cylindrical heels.)

4. Cool Sneakers

Like it or not, the athleisure trend isn’t going away. Sometimes comfort is king, but it doesn’t have to be off-trend. High fashion embellished sneakers are comfortable and fashionable. Basically, they are “functionable” in the best way possible.

5. Combat Boots

Another comfortable option, these shoes will keep your feet warm and dry and have a “cool girl” vibe to them. With the right pair of socks and some kick-ass combat boots, you’ll be ready to take on the world, or at least your morning. That is if designer John Elliot has anything to do with it.

6. Sparkle

Shine like the star you are with a little bit of sparkle. Sequins, glitter, and rhinestones were all over the fall/winter runways! Knee high shimmering boots made an appearance on runways such as Isabel Marant and Alberta Ferretti.

7. Plaid

Plaid shoes will forever make us think of the movie Clueless, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Embrace that 90s nostalgia. If Michael Kors is doing it, how could it be wrong?

8. Big Buckles

Keep those shoes on tight and buckle up for this season. Buckles made an appearance on all types of shoes in a variety of shapes and sizes. We have our eye on Versace’s fierce buckled heels. A girl can dream, right?
