Ready to do some fall shoe shopping? I know it's still only August, but I can't help but jump the gun on wardrobe planning for my favorite season. Naturally, I've been doing a lot of online shopping in anticipation of cooler weather, so I thought I'd pull together a list of the coolest fall shoes that I'm already losing my mind over. I spent an afternoon going through the selections at my favorite retailers from Shopbop to Nordstrom and Net-a-Porter to Zara and I can honestly say that the pairs you're about to see below will have you ready to wave goodbye to summer.
Now let's talk specifics. With so many fresh shoe trends happening right now, who would I be to discriminate one over another? From cool clogs to funky cowboy boots, sleek knee-highs to retro sneakers, there are more styles below than I could possibly acquire for myself, but I've gone ahead and featured them all here for you because when it comes to options, more is more. Just keep scrolling to see the styles I'm freaking out over and know you will too.
I spotted these all over the street style scene in Copenhagen and anticipate they'll continue to be a hit throughout the rest of fashion month.

Three words: leather ballet flats.
Cowboy boots are trending hard right now, just ask TikTok.
Everything I want in a sneaker right now: they're classic but a little retro.
Chunky boots are by no means new, but these feel undeniably fresh.
I haven't worn flat mules in years, but I think that's going to change.
