People-watching at the airport is one of my favorite things to do—especially around the holidays when travelers are getting creative with dressing for coziness. Many of the outfits you see will be all coat though, so let's talk about the part of the outfit you will most likely be able to see: shoes.

Wearing the wrong shoes to the airport has the potential to ruin your travel day, but luckily, there are several current winter shoe trends that you won't regret wearing for your flight. While we encountered some not-so-comfortable shoe trends this year (remember deep pandemic when we actually thought heels were over?), there are several trending styles that are on the opposite end of the comfort spectrum. I've rounded them up here in case there's a flight in your future.

With that, scroll on to shop the trends you're sure to see at your gate this winter, in case you want to join the club.

Moto Boots

This sturdy boot trend is going to be very popular this winter. (It already is.) And I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to try to pack moto boots in my suitcase, so they'd be my airport shoes by default.

Mary Janes

Mary Janes are the flat shoe trend of the year, so you can expect to see them at the airport. Just be sure to pair them with socks if you're headed somewhere chilly.

Platform Uggs

This one is kind of a no-brainer (because, Uggs), but the platform Uggs, specifically, are still trending hard. I would say that I see them more than any other shoes at the airport this time of year.

Penny Loafers

Penny loafers are still going strong. Bonus points if you opt for a festive metallic (or red!) pair.
