Sure, we love talking about clothes on the catwalk as much as anyone, but let’s not forget the shoes. After all, shoes make everyone look fabulous – there are no limits to the styles you can explore! When the Spring/Summer collections hit the runway, we were excited to salute old favorites like trainers and slides, while being optimistic about stilettos (remember those?) and platforms. Whatever your heel height preference, bold colors and luxe detailing were front and center, an upbeat call to get up, strap on a pair of kicks, and greet the world with aplomb. Here, the shoe trends we are preparing for in 2022.
Lace up sandals
Gladiator sandals went high (remember those calf-raising versions around 2014?) and they went low, and we’re happy to say they’re here to stay. We’ve seen ankle-skimming Midas versions on the catwalk with rich metals and fun details like floating coins.

Flashy pumps
We always kick high when we get the chance, and the glitzier the better. Forget a basic black pump, opt for a holographic rainbow, vinyl cutouts and crystal embellishments galore.

Fashion Sneakers
When we’re not dancing the night away (or when we are!), sneakers remain our top choice, even on the catwalks. Retro 70s sneakers can liven up a basic outfit and 90s platforms are always on the run.

Clogs
Clogs pair well with the wide leg pants of 2022 – with a lower, flatter heel this season, consider them the practical alternative to the mule. And don’t be afraid to brighten them up with snakeskin or daisies. More is more!
HAVE THE LOOK
Platforms
Is there anything more iconic than Naomi Campbell in those towering Vivienne Westwood platforms in 1993? Sure, she fell, but she gracefully leapt up and the moment was sealed forever in fashion history. Either way, all that to say that platform heels are iconic and you’ll feel like a leaping gazelle in these cute platforms.

Fisherman’s sandals
Whether they’re candy-colored like your favorite childhood jellies or in sophisticated cream leather like The Row, fisherman sandals are ideal for strolling around town and anchoring a floaty summer dress like no other.
HAVE THE LOOK
Loafers
Moccasins, creepers, whatever you call them, we wear them. The flexible style can be a comfortable sheepskin-lined driving shoe or a refined pump, and all are ideal for putting together an office outfit.
HAVE THE LOOK
sky high heels
Ah stilettos, our feet may not remember you fondly, but our legs do. Razor-thin and towering, these barely-there heels are for minimalists who might pass on a platform or statement shoe, but still make a huge impact.
HAVE THE LOOK
Sporty sandals
Most of us have left Birkenstocks (barely), but easy slides will be everywhere this year. The trick is to splurge as much as possible on a pair: the refined materials perfectly enhance the style.
