Now more than ever before, it can easily feel like new viral shoes come out every day. From see-through flats to sky-high stilettos, there's no shortage of options when it comes to buzzy footwear in 2024. When a shoe style comes along that somehow manages to feel of-the-moment and timeless enough to outlast the trend cycle, I can't stress enough how important it is to hop on board. The fads come and go, but classic shoes are forever, which is why the pointed-toe flats being released right now by The Row, Prada, and Toteme are garnering so much attention. They check off every box.
Even so, when a single pair of shoes will set you back hundreds of dollars, especially when it's a style that you maybe haven't considered wearing for a couple of years, it can be tricky to press purchase without easing into it a little bit. That's why I was so amped up to find out that H&M just dropped an affordable and in-stock pair of pointed-toe flats that would allow me to test-drive the silhouette before making a bigger investment. This way, I can confirm that the shape will mesh well with my existing wardrobe without having to dole out a significant chunk of my monthly shopping budget on a whim.
Below, shop the $25 H&M alt for Toteme's, The Row's, and Prada's viral pointed-toe flats. Just do me a favor and do it fast—H&M's footwear has a tendency to move faster than today's trend cycles.
