It’s time to step into autumn.

From NYFW to the September issues, fall marks the start of fashion’s new year. And as always, with a new season comes new trends.

If you’re stashing your sandals and refreshing your fall footwear, we’ve curated some of this season’s must-have shoes below.

And these are no flash-in-the-pan fads, either; whether you’re taking a walk on the wild side with fun prints or slipping on “sneakerinas,” these styles will last you well into 2027.

Move over, sky-high stilettos — these petite pumps are the cat’s meow. Kitten heels are trending in a big way right now, and in addition to being effortlessly chic, they’re also extremely wearable(thank goodness). Brands like Steve Madden have endless options, which perfectly walk the line between trendy and timeless.

These comfy kicks are on pointe. Ballet flat-sneaker hybrids — “sneakerinas,” if you will — have been trending for months, and they’re not going anywhere this season. We’ve spotted them on stars like Bella Hadid, Julia Roberts and Pamela Anderson (to name just a few).

Animal prints

This trend is running wild. From zebra stripes to leopard spots, stars like Anne Hathaway have been taking on the urban jungle in animal-inspired kicks. And for more minimalist dressers, it’s a great way to (literally) dip a toe into wildlife prints.

Yeehaw! While the Western trend is certainly nothing new, we predict we’ll still be seeing cowboy boots all over this fall. Whether styled with denim or dresses, the below options are perfect for introducing a little country flair into your wardrobe.
