PLATFORMS:

The first trend on my list of the hottest summer shoe trends of 2024 is platforms! I love this trend for so many reasons. A good pair of platforms will instantly make your legs look miles long, and all that height comes with way more comfort than a traditional heel. This pair of neutral platforms from Sam Edelman has been one of my go-to pairs for months and will continue to be for the foreseeable future!

KITTEN HEELS:

The kitten heel is next on my list of the 5 hottest summer shoe trends of 2024. This darling shoe style pairs perfectly with a slimming pair of jeans or a chic summer skirt. This pair is from Steve Madden and they have a beautiful silver sheen to them, which falls under the metallic trend, so these beauties showcase 2 trends in 1! They also have an amazing under $100 price point making them that much more desirable.

CLASSIC WHITE SNEAKERS:

Who doesn’t love a classic with a twist? This pair of classic white sneakers is given a modern vibe with the addition of gorgeous cool beige accents. Every time I wear them, I get tons of compliments and people want to know where I got them. I love the hidden platform that adds extra height without appearing bulky and all 3 gorgeous color patterns they offer! They provide crazy comfort, and as a bonus, I’ve discovered you can wear them without socks and not worry about blisters! These are your best bet if casual sneakers are on your summer shoe radar.

NEUTRAL SLIDES:

These amazing slide sandals by Sam Edelman are next on my list of the hottest summer shoe trends of 2024. They’ve been selling like crazy and are the perfect summer shoe! The neutral shade goes with everything and they come in multiple other colors. They’re so comfy because of the padded footbed and they’re a great alternative to heels. I find they run slightly big so size down 1/2 a size – I’m wearing a size 7.

METALLIC MULES:

I’ve saved the best for last in this summer shoe edit! These stunning metallic mules are the quintessential summer shoe and because of the stunning silver shade, they’re also very on trend. These mules are crazy comfortable thanks to the padded footbed and because of the shorter heel, they are incredibly wearable. This fabulous pair of heels is a bit of an investment, but trust me when I say they are WELL worth it!
