I love giving you the download on everything for winter, from the hottest designer buys to know to the best winter staples and everything in between. This winter really has had so much in store for us, I can say with certainty that this season was worth the wait, at least when it comes to our wardrobes. One of the most exciting categories? Shoes.
After combing through the runways, my social media feeds, and the market, I've landed on nine shoe trends that are having the biggest impact this season. With the surprising new slippers inspired by The Row's runway and the elegant flats and boots that are dominating my feeds, consider this list your North Star for all things stylish footwear. Continue on to get your fill of the major winter 2024 shoe trends to know.
Suede Boots
Suede, suede, and more suede. It's the buzzword of the season, and the luxe fabric will be defining the most noteworthy boots, from simple ankle styles to sleek knee-highs.
Patent Pumps
High-shine gloss is the defining element of the coolest pumps right now, from Ferragamo's iconic slanted heels to Saint Laurent's viral Lee slingbacks.
Elegant Flats
Flats have become one of the most forward shoes you can wear right now, and that's a fact—but not just any old flat shoe. Elegant silhouettes are defining the moment, from ballet flats to slingbacks with ever so slightly lifted heels.
Riding Boots
The "new Gucci" under Creative Director Sabato De Sarno is redefining brand classics one item at a time, and the riding boots finished with a sleek horse-bit hardware detail are Wholesale Replica Bag piece to get a modern update. Similar styles with elevated hardware are popping up across the market, cementing them as one of the season's top boots.
Glove Pumps
Traditional pumps can often feel a bit tired, but the glove-like silhouettes we're seeing from Proenza Schouler and Carven are decidedly fresh and forward.
Slippers
Hear me out: Brands are making elevated slippers to be worn outside the bedroom. The Row's Frances pair, which is done in a delicate silk jacquard and beloved by Kendall Jenner and Laura Harrier, is proving to be the unlikely It shoe right now.
Sleek Slingbacks
Slingbacks will pretty much never go out of style, but they're set to have an even bigger impact this winter with Saint Laurent's beautiful satin and patent-leather iterations.
Brown Loafers
With chocolate brown infiltrating our wardrobe more than ever, loafers are the polished way to wear the color.
T-Bar Pumps
There are lots of cool pumps on offer for winter, but I'd like to introduce one more: the T-bar pump. It's a little retro and steeped in sophistication.
