No one’s ever really ready to say goodbye to summer, but all good things must come to an end. If you’re dreading the idea of shorter days and cooler temperatures, one thing that might get you excited about a change of seasons is a chance to update your shoe game. That’s why we’ve been keeping our eye on the hottest shoe trends for fall 2024. So before we get ready to fall back, check out some of the shoe looks we love.
Consider yourself warned – animal prints will everywhere this fall. But if you’re not sure you’re ready to fully embrace the trend, this men’s Ellis Penny Loafer from Blackstock & Weber with a pop of zebra print is a perfect place to start.
Animal print doesn’t have to mean zebra or leopard. For a different look, check out JANIS, a cow hide-print wedge boot from Black-owned luxury footwear brand Chelsea Paris. We love everything about this boot from the ruched leg to the pointed toe.
It’s all in the details with this Kiki Slingback Mule from Shekudo. The nude leather makes this shoe work with practically everything in your closet. But the wooden heel and the red leather slingback strap make this neutral shoe so much more than basic.
Guys, you may love your sneakers, but sometimes the situation calls for something a little fancier. With these leather longwing sneakers from Marc Nolan that are stylish and comfortable, no one will no the difference. Your secret is safe with us.
There’s something about a metallic shoe that just screams fun. So we couldn’t be happier to see everything from sneakers to stilettos in metallic shades this fall. We love the Elevator Boot in Disco Dust Glitter from Brother Vellies. This three-inch heeled stunner is lined in calfskin.
Even if you don’t ride a motorcycle, you’re going to want to look the part this fall as moto boots will be on trend. No one does boots like Frye, and their Harness 8R Mens is a classic square-toe leather motorcycle boot that is made for walking (or riding motorcycles, of course).
Fear not, “Cowboy Carter” fans, western-inspired boots aren’t going anywhere this fall. The Casanova Western Boot from Ariat is a beautiful boot with stunning detail. Now, if we could only find a matching hat...
Guys, we didn’t forget about you. Try The Dean, a Western-inspired boot from Tecovas that are just waiting to be worn with your favorite pair of jeans.
With a heel that’s over 4.5 inches, this Miki stiletto from Kkira ain’t for everybody. But the bold color and playful patterns make us want to give them our best shot.
Say goodbye to all-black everything, red will be hotter than ever this fall. With a square toe and a respectable one-inch heel, The Kasey Square Toe Pump from Sam Edelman lets you nail multiple fall trends at once.
White sneakers are cool and all. But bold colors will be everywhere this fall. Add some flavor to a classic style like the Gazelle from adidas with a platform heel and a bright color like these Gazelle Bold Shoes in red.
When you want to give your heels a break but don’t want to sacrifice your style, try Rhiannon in Nassau, a color-blocked ballet flat from Charlotte Stone that is a whole vibe.
The Nairene Foldover Dress Boot from Marc Fisher is a chic take on a style trend we’re looking forward to this fall. We’ve seen them called fold-over boots, slouch boots and paper bag boots. We’ll just call them cute.
