To help you stay on your toes when keeping up with the style scene in 2025, we did a little digging into the talk of the trendsetters and the walk on the runways. Here are some takeaways about what will be on point in footwear fashion this year.
Back to the 70s again with clogs! From the traditional closed toe to peep, open toe, and even thong options, clogs were everywhere! Details like jumbo studs and cool hardware gave these clunky classics some eye-catching appeal. And don’t be afraid to personalize them.
Retro sneakers are also making huge strides. They aren’t limited to a single decade or style either. You’ll see 70s and 80s inspired court shoes and runners, wrestling and soccer shoe silhouettes. Classic vibes with contemporary elements and comfort. They’re being paired with jeans, dresses, shorts, and skirts, so get in the game!
Boots, boots, and more boots! White boots, ankle boots, rain boots, and animal print boots were all having a moment. From a chic, clean aesthetic to colorful and fun prints, there were boots for every occasion – dressed up and dressed down. They’ll be walking right through 2025.
Statement flip-flops were one of the more surprising entries on the style scene. They’re being elevated and embellished with luxurious materials to step away from the beach and out of the casual comfort arena.
Shoes and sandals with ankle wrap laces or ties were also a hot item. Who doesn’t love a pretty espadrille? Leg-lengthening leather wraps, ribbons, and thin lace ankle ties were embraced across the board. Whether ballerina or gladiator style, it works.
Some other noteworthy looks included peep toes, transparent and barely-there materials, and sculptured heels. Now that you know, shop the looks you love and put your best foot forward!
