the 10 shoe trends we’re most excited about this fall

Is it just us, or have shoe trends hit a wall over the last couple of seasons? Dad sneakers, kitten heels, chelsea boots. That’s not to say we don’t love them, but the pairs we fell hard for two years ago have since lost their oomf factor, their je ne sais quoi. Alas, now that fall’s fully underway and dozens of boots, loafers, sneakers and mules are arriving by the truckload (cue the onslaught of new arrivals emails!), it seems that maybe, just maybe, brands are finally answering our prayers for original shoe styles that we can rally behind.

Between cowboy boots getting one hell of a makeover and hiking boots steering more towards fashion-forward than mountain must-have, this fall’s shoes are sparking a dormant excitement in us again. But our crystal ball doesn’t just stop with boots. Mary Janes, mules and of course, sneakers, all make up the 10 fall shoe trends ahead. So while the rest of the future can’t be so easily predicted, at least there’s comfort in knowing you’ve got some damn good shoes to fall back on.

Yeehaw For Cowboy Boots
When prairie dresses made their big (re)debut, it was only a matter of time before more western-style trends began gaining headway. Despite the fact that pastel hues and heart-shaped cut-outs might not be the most traditional take on the cowboy boot, you won’t find us complaining.

Not Too Tall, No Too Short — The Just-Right Boots
Midi skirts, midi dresses, even midi shorts (a.k.a bermudas) are in full swing. Why not throw mid-calf boots into the mix? The next time you can’t decide between knee-high or low-ankle, opt for that just-right fit that falls smack dab in the middle.

Take A Hike
Don’t toss out your R.E.I. hiking boots just yet — despite the name, we suggest saving these styles for off the mountain.
