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.

1906R Sneakers
This Ganni and New Ballance collab sold out so fast, most fashion editors couldn’t even get their hands on a pair. If you have the chance, you better pounce.

What’s this I see? Yet another incredible sneaker collaboration? It really is the season of the shoe.

If you thought I was done talking about dream partnerships, then you thought wrong. Melissa shoes and Telfar are here to bring you this incredible jelly slide.

Larroudé has taken the fashion set by storm in the last few years. This denim ballet slipper with an embellished buckle is a perfect example of why.

Sling Back Leather High Heeled Shoe
Metallics have been a prominent theme on runways for the past three seasons, and I don’t foresee silver going out of style anytime soon.

We have TikTok to thank for cloud slides. And I’m thankful, indeed.

Classic Dipper Boot
Last year it was all about Bella Hadid’s mini platform, but UGG has outdone itself this time with a platform sock bootie.

Backless Slip On Loafers
Pointed toes and no- to low-heels are also on-trend right now, so these are a great option for work.

Birkenstock Boston clogs are so good at supporting your feet—and their needs—and keeping you comfortable. The fact that they’re trendy is really just a bonus.

Everything Simon Miller puts out has an off-the-charts cool factor—and these are a favorite among our senior fashion commerce editor.

Socco Mid-Heeled Shoes
The only thing better than a trendy shoe is a trendy shoe under $50. Plus, the block heel will make these extra comfortable.
