With most of summer behind us, it's time to start thinking about fall-related topics, such as shoes for the new season. I love many fall-related topics, but this is perhaps my favorite. Designer shoes are typically the first footwear offerings to come out for fall, and they inevitably set the tone for the remainder of the season.
If you're a designer-shoe lover who's been known to kick yourself when those coveted It shoes you've been meaning to order are suddenly sold out everywhere in your size, let this serve as your reminder to shop early because it will happen again once the rest of the world catches on. So if you'd like a preliminary heads-up about which Prada, Gucci, Khaite, The Row, and Miu Miu (to name a few) shoes are most likely to be It shoes by the time fall arrives, this is a great place to start. Keep scrolling for the most stunning shoes of fall 2024 (so far).
Leave it to Prada to make an existing It shoe even better (with the addition of leopard print, in this case).
The beauty of these Bottega pumps lies in the tread sole and gold chain strap.
Moto boots are set to be big again this fall, and this pair is as elegant as it gets.
These remind me of hotel slippers in the most elevated way possible.
I've never wanted a pair of mesh flats more.
Remember those Gucci desert boots that flew out of stock last fall? They're back and in new colorways.

They come in black, too, but I predict the white pair will really take off.

These are enough to make me think that block heels are making a comeback.
Leave it to The Row to make us want yet another pair of ballerinas.
Get ready for leopard-print shoes to be everywhere.
