7 shoe trends we predict you'll be wearing in 2025 - including bohemian clogs and animal print flats
The good news is UGGs aren't going anywhere...
The world of shoe trends 2025 is as dynamic as ever, with designers pushing boundaries to redefine what we'll wear on our feet. And this year we're seeing plenty of exciting new designs, from sculptural sloping pumps to studded clogs—you'd better be prepared for purchasing a whole new collection.
After searching countless runways and designer collections, I can confidently say that shoe trends for 2025 are nothing short of spectacular. Taking centre stage for the spring/summer fashion trends, shoe styles from key collections feel nostalgic, vintage, and extremely innovative at the same time. Notable themes include traces of bohemian styling and a reimagining of feminine, classic shoe styles, including Mary Janes and the heeled pump.
Bottega Veneta's woven pumps cleverly reference the brand's 1960s invention of Italian woven leather, whilst their sloping heel offers a new sculptural take on this design. And Miu Miu's laid-back loafer styles are already proving to be very popular. Reminiscent of the traditional boat shoe, their loafers offer a softer, more relaxed take on this structured style. With so many fabulous references and unique designs, we've rounded up some similar finds to shop immediately.
Shoe Trends 2025
1. Bohemian clogs
According to designer runways including Miu Miu, Burberry and Ulla Johnson clogs are set to be making a major comeback in 2025. And with the frilly, flared "boho" trend persisting it makes perfect sense to introduce a shoe known for its relation to the 1960's bohemian movement.
Not only this but Scholl's collaboration with designer Yohji Yamamoto saw an introduction to a new style of clog featuring an all-black, sleek style.
Clogs truly do blend of practicality and style— making them perfect for everything from running errands to dressing up with tailored separates. I also envision heeled clogs working well with floaty warm-weather silhouettes when spring arrives, such as frilly maxi-skirts, lace dresses or loose linen trousers. Whether you’re a clog devotee or hesitant to try, trust us - these will be everywhere this year.

Ganni’s leopard-print boots and Valentino’s snakeskin styles are already gathering momentum, whilst croc-embossed finishes are seem be everywhere, from the best knee high boots to ballet flats.

Gucci’s minimalist white trainers feel fresh and athletic, whilst Miu Miu’s burgundy and navy styles add a 90s edge to this trend. The return to retro trainer styles shouldn't come as a surprise, from adidas Samba reaching a cult status in recent years to Nike's Air Max 97s making a strong return, the popularity of vintage trainer styles has been surfacing for the past few seasons.
However, this year expect to see lots of bright colours, and forget the neutral tones; go bold with vibrant blue, silver, and gold metallics and crimson red—the most comfortable trainers don't have to be plain!
