These 6 Shoe Trends Will Dominate in 2025—Shop Them for Under $150

If there's one easy way to give your outfit an of-the-moment look, it's with a trending new pair of shoes. I always find the beginning of a new year makes for the perfect time to assess what trends and styles are about to dominate in the year ahead, so I can mull over what speaks to my personal style and make an informed choice of what to invest in.

So, what chic footwear trends have we got to look forward to for the upcoming season? After analyzing all the cool shoes that paraded down the spring/summer 2025 runways, I can genuinely say, there's a little something for everyone. Retro sneakers stood out as the most practical, which ooze a sophisticated sportiness. Perhaps one of the most unexpected styles that took center stage was the return of peep-toe heels, but this time, the designers gave them a fresh and reimagined feel—some with minimalist micro cutouts, others with square silhouettes. For the boho-leaning among us, you'll be happy to hear that easy and wearable wooden clogs are about to be everywhere, and as for flats, Mary Janes continues their dominance in 2025, ranging from classic black to metallic silver.

The best part? You don't have to spend designer prices to get lean into the looks. I've scoured the market and found all the biggest spring 2025 shoe trends for under $150. *Insert dancing emoji.*

Peep-Toes

Peep-toe heels are back for 2025 with modern iterations that reimagine the cutout shoes. On the runways, Khaite gave minimal pumps micro cutouts. At ACNE studios, slingbacks were finished with spherical peep toes and square silhouettes, and Tory Burch's peep toes came with glossy sculptural heels. Expect to this trend develop on the market as we head further into 2025.

Retro Sneakers

From the runways to the streets, retro-cool silhouettes are everywhere right now and will continue their dominance as we move further into 2025. In the spring 2025 collections, designers such as Miu Miu, Loewe, and Proenza Schouler were all about soft and sophisticated sporty, styles, and on the streets, we've been seeing the fashion set embrace '70s-inspired retro throwback styles like the Adidas Tokyos and Taekwondos, classic Reeboks, and Puma Speedcats.

Clogs ruled on the spring/summer 2025 runways and were spotted in collections from Miu Miu to Hermès and Zimmermann. There are plenty of iterations on the boho trend this season from jumbo studs to toe-ring styles. Whether you love them or hate them, it's their time to shine in 2025.

T-Bar Shoes

The T-Bar silhouette is one to have on your radar in 2025. It's a longtime favorite of the French fashion set, so expect to see open and closed-toe modern iterations at our favorite retailers in the upcoming season.

Cherry Red

By far, one of the most popular shoe colors on the spring runways was vibrant cherry red. It was seen on a whole host of silhouettes from heeled pumps to slingbacks and kitten-heel sandals. Trust us—they'll add the perfect pop to your basics this year.

Mary Janes

When it comes to flats, we're all happy to hear that versatile and chic Mary Janes continue their dominance in 2025. All colors are fair game, but we especially saw a rise in metallic silver styles. If you insist on small heels, opt for a pair with block heels like the preppy styles at Prada.
