5 Best Fall Shoe Trends in 2024, According to Editors

With summer's arrival, it's hard to start thinking about fall again. But I'm pretty sure this shoe trend report will get you excited about the next season and even inspire ya to plan ahead. Because hey, stay ready so you don't have to get ready—amirite?

Sneak peek: You're going to be so excited about a couple of these boot trends. This time around, it's all about the paper bag slouchy boot (more on that later) and the biker boot (we ride at dawn)! Also, you'll see lots of square-toe styles for all types of shoes, tons of delicate pumps (yay for satins and straps), and, yes, the loafer (our grandpas and dads are rejoicing) are very much still having a moment. Basically, the fall/winter runways gave us a wide range of footwear for every aesthetic. Scroll through to find your new favorite fall shoe trend!

It was hard to miss this shoe silhouette on the runways for this upcoming fall season. A lil explainer: this boot is a new take on the slouchy silhouette, but it feels even roomier. We saw styles that had leather, chainmail, and even drawstrings for a sporty touch.

The biker boot is one that will edge up any look. This season, we saw a red floral option from Loewe, as well as some others with zipper and lace-up details. Sure, the biker aesthetic is never not en vogue, but this time, it's really taking the spotlight.

It's all about the details, darling! Whether the heels are satin, embellished, floral, or T-strap, this sweet update to the classic style adds a bit of whimsy to any ensemble. I would definitely style this trending shoe with a chic shift dress or even denim and a white tee.
