Don’t miss the spring/summer 2023 shoe trends we can’t stop wearing now, if you’re looking for your next favourite pair…

Mules

The humble mule is trending, and whether in basic black, glorious colour or with a touch of shimmer, this style has that ever essential touch of 90s nostalgia.

Keep it clean and minimal with this chic Mango pair.

These pretty in pink, square cut mules from Wandler are so satisfyingly 90’s.

Of course Cos has a wonderfully chic and timeless pair. They are also made from recycled fabric, so you can feel just that little bit better about your purchase.

For ultimate 90s nostalgia Alohas gives us (vegan) cow print and a block heel.

A forever buy for the magpies.

Be quick, these summery mesh beauties are almost sold out.

This head turning pair from The Attico hit up multiple trends with their sculptural block heel, glossy green colour and nostalgic 90’s feel.

An easy peasy pair to slip on with anything and everything. Those double straps and low block heel are made for walking.

If the aughts are your era, you need to see these.

Fantasy Footwear

Post pandemic dressing up is proving to be too much fun. Sparkle, shine and froth are the order of the day from head to toe. Feathers, jewels and high shine make these top picks pure fantasy.

Mach & Mach is your go to if you’re all about embellishment and power points.

Amina Muaddi knows how to do opulence.

These would be such a good bridal shoe with a simple dress. Or, just a fun shoe to wear for life if you’re not planning a wedding.

Cinderella wants her shoes back.

Feathers and bows are still going strong and this Jade Green colour is exquisite.

When you want to do glitz but in a minimal way.

So perfectly pretty.

Wedges

Yes, the divisive wedge heel is back, but wait she is looking good. Decidedly more sculptural, minimal and elegant, the wedge is reinvented for ss22 with a sophisticated edge.

Can’t stop looking at these sculptural, hot pink beauties from Magda Butrym.

Yes to optical illusion heel action.

Look at those rubber soles to keep you sturdy in this beautiful bright yellow pair from Bottega.

Espadrilles are making their way through in both slim and more chunky wedge iterations. The fuss free silhouette of these Reformation heels is a sophisticated take.

Toe posts are also a key point of focus again, as is quilting and that sculptural heel detail.

Nobody will believe these are from Zara.

The skinny straps, slim wedge and 70s snake effect are a great combo on these Reformation Jorgia wedge heels.

So fun.

The Devil is in The Details

If you’re not about sparkle and shine, there is still plenty to get excited about. Interesting heel details and appliqués are making for some very fun footwear options this season.

TDF. The nail polish pair are also so good in white and currently in stock at Matches.

If you can’t get enough of those JW Anderson chains, this chic heel iteration is for you.

These square toe, satin strapped beauties with sculptural heel look fancier than the price tag would have you believe.

So pretty from Zara.

What is not to love about this slinky chain detail pair from sustainable brand Alohas.

A minimal aesthetic with a holiday feel.

If you’re a flats fan, these black flower detail sandals with wrap around straps are such a pretty option, day or night.

Spell it out.

This affordable option from Charles & Keith comes in Sage Green and Black, as well as this fresh Chalk white option

To the Point

The pointed toe is making a power play this season, with sling-backs, pumps and boots all featuring razor sharp pointed toes. Just add hardware and embellishment for extra points.

The Saint Laurent Vespers are potentially responsible for the surge in slingback love.

The Balenciaga Cagole boots with razor sharp point toe, and nostalgic 00s styling are already in high demand.

Is anyone else starting to feel that if it isn’t shiny, it isn’t enough? Prada brings us her signature sporty chic in high shine form, with these silver logo slingbacks.

How good are these?

This Metallic pair from Mango have quite the killer silhouette.

This clean cut white pair from Zara have a more practical block heel and a 60s vibe .

Thankfully the High Street is well in on the game and not scrimping on the razzle dazzle either.

Clogs

When giving up your slippers is just all too much, an easy slide on clog is bang on trend (do they ever really go out of style?) without compromising on comfort. They look great with this seasons wide leg trousers or denim, not to mention our beloved summer crochet for that extra nostalgic nod.

Maximum comfort.

This classic 70s style tan pair from Isabel Marant are timeless.

Simple and chic.

These are perfect for spring.

Leave it to Loewe to create the perfect balance of minimalist and technical with the Terra platform clogs.

Saint Laurent’s luxe pair will go with everything.

Platforms

Fashions obsession with all things 70s and 90s has reached dizzying heights, quite literally. Whether you want to channel a 70s disco diva, go for Barbie style brights or a chunky 90s vibe, there is a platform for you. High glamour, high octane iterations from Versace and D’ACCORI can’t fail to turn heads, but there are also plenty of more low key options on the market if your vibe is more minimal.

No doubt you will have seen this subtle iteration from Versace stomping their way around Instagram. If you are an all in kind of gal, these cannot fail to make a big statement. Big. Huge.

Take yourself back to the 70s with these towering, pristine creations from Saint Laurent.

Simplicity at it’s best. You have to appreciate the track sole on these sturdy black platforms, with delicate ankle straps.

This perfect party platform from Reformation comes in 5 different colours, but I personally really rather enjoy the fabulously 70s gold. Especially with that Marigold pedi.

I haven’t made up my mind how I feel about platforms, or in fact purple, but somehow this whole vibe is really working.

Let’s go out with a bang on this trend. Lady Gaga and Dua Lipa are fans of these towering, conical heeled show stoppers that are handmade by Artisans in Florence.

Chunky Sandals

If heels aren’t your thing, chunky flatform sandals are still here to give you a little height, but with potentially less dangerous side effects. Whether you go for a minimal vibe, or a more heavy duty style, there is a whole host of on trend chunky sandals to pick from. From sleek thong sandals and sporty numbers, to our old fave gladiators and fisherman sandals, they are all here.

These 90s numbers from By Far are a great way to work the thong silhouette with a little more support from the ankle strap. The perfect hybrid.

Fisherman sandals are going nowhere and look especially good with this seasons chunky flatform sole. These will toughen up any pouffy pretty dresses you throw at them, and will look equally as good with tailored trousers and this seasons favourite white tank.

These Simon Miller x Mango platform sandals look so comfy and so chic all at once.

Perfect 00s minimalist vibes.

Sporty sandals are ever the practical choice. This irresistibly chunky pair in sustainable leather, look pretty as well as practical in dusky olive green with oversized gold buckles. They also come in black, cream and red.

The Row’s Ginza leather platform sandals are an investment you wont regret making.

So chic.

This chunky pair are made for walking.
