If you’re a shoe lover like me, then this post detailing the hottest shoe trends for fall and winter is for you! Knowing which styles are in and which ones are out makes getting dressed so much easier. The right pair of shoes can instantly elevate even the simplest look, and I’m here to guide you through the best choices this season. From chic knee-high boots to sleek kitten heels, these are the styles worth adding to your closet. As always, I’ll also share exactly what I’m wearing and how I styled each pair so you can see them in action.

Let’s get into it!

SHOP LOOK 1:

OUT: MOTO BOOTS → IN: SOCK BOOTIES

Moto boots are out, but sock booties are making a comeback—and I couldn’t be happier. My favorite pointy-toe pair by Stuart Weitzman has been in my closet for years, and they’re still available. The slim fit works beautifully with straight-leg jeans (I’m wearing my favorite black AGOLDE in a 23). I topped off the look with a cropped leopard denim jacket for a trendy yet polished vibe.

OUT: PLATFORM BOOTS → IN: KNEE-HIGH BOOTS

When it comes to shoe trends for fall and winter 2025, platform boots are officially out, and knee-high boots are taking center stage. I especially love them in chocolate brown suede since this shade is just as versatile as black and looks so luxe. I styled my brown suede pair with a black sweater dress (wearing an XS) and a sleek black bomber jacket. They’re timeless, modern, and the perfect boot to elevate all your fall looks.

SHOP LOOK 3:

OUT: LACE-UP HEELS → IN: PEEP-TOE MULES:

Lace-up heels are on the decline, and instead, it’s all about peep-toe mules. They’re not only chic but also incredibly comfortable—mine have a wearable 3-inch heel. I’m obsessed with this leopard mule pair by Jeffrey Campbell and styled them with a silky halter top (XS) and my Rag & Bone sweatpant jeans (size 23). It’s the perfect mix of polished and effortless.

OUT: CLOGS → IN: STRAPPY HEELS:

Clogs never really took off, and I’m glad to say strappy heels are here instead. I’ve been living in this under-$100 black pair with a flattering 3-inch heel—they’re sexy, minimal, and versatile. I styled them with chic leather bomber jacket over a navy tank and one of the hottest pairs of denim I’ve found as of late! These are heels you’ll reach for over and over again.

SHOP LOOK 5:

OUT: SKY-HIGH STILATTOS → IN: KITTEN HEELS

One of the most wearable shoe trends for fall and winter is the return of kitten heels. Thankfully, sky-high stilettos are out, and kitten heels are in. I love this style because they’re sexy yet comfortable enough to wear all day. I styled my black pair with Reformation’s barrel jeans (size 23), a tan halter top (XS), and a suede jacket, creating a chic fall look. Kitten heels are proof you don’t need sky-high shoes to look polished and powerful.
