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.

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.

2. Animal print

Animal print shoes are set to dominate in 2025, with designers showcasing bold patterns and textures across the board. 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.

Animal printed shoes add a playful, fun finish to monochrome looks, vibrant coloured pieces or clashing prints. If you’re looking to make an impact, a statement shoe is a quick way to do so. Plus who can deny the appeal of a cow-print loafer paired with the best wide leg jeans?

3. Retro trainers

Retro trainers are a core part of the shoe trends 2025, with designers confirming the popularity of this trend in their S/S collections.

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!

4. Easy-to-wear loafers

Loafers are getting a softer upgrade this year, and they’re set to become your most-worn shoe. In rich brown suede and relaxed shapes, styles from Tod’s and Miu Miu feel modern yet understated and luxurious.

These designs say goodbye to the stiffness of traditional loafers, making them just as practical as they are stylish. Whether paired with floaty dresses or tailored trousers, loafers are the ultimate investment—easy, effortless, and undeniably chic.

5. Sculptural pumps

Pumps with new, reimagined designs are reinventing this timeless shoe style in 2025, with designers leaning into bold shapes and luxurious materials. Bottega Veneta’s woven pumps are an instant standout, with their sculptural sloped heel and their woven fabric exterior, while Khaite’s sleek cut-out pumps and Prada’s archival-inspired designs push the boundaries of this classic style.

Plus there are plenty of ways to wear them from finishing off your day-to-day office attire to pairing them with denim weekend ensembles, pumps are a guaranteed way to take your outfits to the next level.

6. Mary Janes reimagined

Mary-Janes are making a major resurgence, but they’ve been completely reimagined. Designers like Miu Miu and Bally have given the classic style a contemporary update with chunky heels, oversized buckles, and loafer-inspired shapes.

This shoes style pairs just as well with polished office wear such as tailored trousers as they do with laid-back denim including your favourite barrel leg jeans. If you’ve been waiting for a fresh take on the trend, now’s your chance to embrace this modern twist on a fall-safe wardrobe staple.

7. Y2K boots

UGGs have been heavily trending this winter, and they are set to remain well into 2025 off the back of the Y2K revival. With A-listers such as Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lopez spotted in UGGs they are firmly back on the fashion agenda, and who can deny their cosy, warm appeal? And if you're looking for the UGG boot style for a more affordable price then there are plenty of UGG boot alternatives to shop.

However, UGGs aren't the only oversized retro-boot back in fashion, the Moon Boot has made a recent appearance as the new outdoor shoe to buy, even Heidi Klum was spotted sporting a pair!
