"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

It’s fall, y’all. To be honest, I’m not ordinarily a shoeaholic, but these fall shoe trends are way too good to be ignored. First of all, it’s fashion month, so all eyes are on the runways where themes like metallics and ballet flats abound. But it also seems to be a season of wicked collaborations with cool-girl labels like Ganni, Staud, and Telfar teaming up with shoe brands like New Balance, Keds, and Melissa, respectively. There must be something in the air—and I’m not talking about that September crispness.

If you’re more of a comfort-first type of person, you’ll be pleased to hear that cloud slides and cool sneakers are still going strong. From cozy slip-ons to avant-garde mules—and a wide variety in between—there are plenty to fill your closet.

Here, find 25 of the coolest, most on-trend shoes to stay fashionable this fall.
