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!
Paper-Bag Boots
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.

Square Toes
From heels to boots (!!) to flats, square toes are still very much in the picture. This trend is a must in your wardrobe, 'kay?!
Biker Boots
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.

Delicate Pumps
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.

Loaferssss
Loafers have been trending for awhile now, but they aren't going anywhere—this style of shoe was huuuuge this season. We specifically saw them with tons of different appliqués. We're talking tassels, bows, buckles, and even heeled options from Victoria Beckham!
