13 Trendy Y2K Shoe Styles We Guarantee You'll Be Wearing All the Time

Raise your hand if you had a pair of these growing up. Though they have a playful, toddler-looking aesthetic, you can def get back in on this trend now. There are even more modern options of jelly shoes like The Row's now sold-out ballet flats or Ancient Greek Sandals "Iro" style.

Wearing flats with your skinniest pair of jeans was an unbeatable combination in the early aughts. Opt for a metallic pair like these almond-toe ones for some extra shine.

The bigger the platform, the more Y2K the look. These are a must for that throwback aesthetic, and this denim pair prob makes you wish for the days when all you had to do was take care of your Tamagotchi.

The Spice Girls were all about platform boots in the late '90s, and the style only gained more popularity into the 2000s. The essential part was that the shaft of the boot was tight around your calves for a slick look with a chunky sole.

Sensing a theme? The shoes during Y2K had some thick soles, and loafers were no different. Loafers are a classic, but the lug sole gives it some added edge. Weejuns are an editor favorite, and these happen to add an inch when you wear 'em.

This slip-on style makes it easy to throw on, but the heel gives it some sophistication. These were everywhere on the red-carpet circuit in the 2000s, and they're still prominent now. Margot Robbie's Barbie press tour last year included lots of these styles.

Baby heels and babydoll dresses were a match made in heaven. The silver buckle on this Guess pair just screams Y2K, and the slight flare of the heel gives some added stability.

High tops were a popular silhouette in the 2000s, and no brand did them better than Converse. Pop punk star Avril Lavigne had them in a regular rotation and Kristen Stewart wore them on the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards circa 2009 during her Twilight era.

Heels with veryyyy exaggerated toes were a celeb go-to for fancy events, and they're undeniably eye-catching—especially a long, vamp heel that just screams Y2K. This blue mule is a perfect example of the trend.

Wedges were *it* in the 2000s, and your ankles were very happy about the extra stability. If the sole happened to be made of cork or an espadrille? Even better. This strappy version from Paige would definitely fit right in if you time traveled back to the early aughts.

Ahhh, the humble hoof-like platform pumps. From red carpet events to the office, you couldn't miss these sky-high pumps during the 2000s. My toes are aching just thinking about slipping these on again, but if you're truly compelled, you can shop this wallet-friendly style here.

Y2K is probably synonymous with Ashley Tisdale's High School Musical-era red carpet pics in which she's wearing UGG boots. And now it's back and better than ever! From the Tasman style to the original boot, there are tons of options that you can wear while lounging at-home or on-the-go.

This style was almost always paired with minis (think Hervé Léger's iconic bandage dresses) and most likely metallic. Today's versions are more subdued like this black pair from Brother Vellies with an optional anklet chain.
