5 Fall Shoe Trends I'm Buying From Amazon Prime Big Deal Days


It's a tale as old as time: The leaves begin to turn, the temperatures drop, and the temptation to overhaul your entire wardrobe kicks in. While fall does give fashion people the best possible excuse to switch things up, that doesn't mean it's always an easy undertaking. After all, where exactly does one start when transitioning into the new season? Do you only invest in staples? Or perhaps it's worth purchasing the most popular trends? It's not always easy to discern what to buy, especially when our checking accounts may not be conducive to overhauling our entire closet. That said, not all hope is lost. One simple solution that can make shopping for the new season on a tight budget straightforward is to start from the ground up.
Hear us out: Investing in new footwear is smart. The right pair of shoes can make your staples stand out, making dressing for transitional temperatures easier and allowing you to tap into the season's biggest trends. But if you're dubious about the possibility of actually finding trend-forward shoes for a good deal, look no further than Amazon Prime Big Deal Days. Yes, you read that right. With so many affordable finds still marked down after Prime Day, there's no easier way to step into the new season on a shoestring budget (excuse the pun).
If you still have your doubts, keep scrolling. Ahead, we've rounded up the five biggest fall shoe trends that can be found on sale on Amazon right now.
1. Extra Tall, Please!
Like clockwork, there are always a few boot trends that come into the chat around the fall. But the only style this season with a huge presence on the F/W 24 runways was extra-tall boots. Whether in the form of timeless knee-high riding boots or unique over-the-knee boots (see Tods or Chloé's fall shows), designers didn't embrace an exact style but said yes to height, in general. The versatility of this trend alone makes it one of the easiest styles to adopt this season, as you can buy it anywhere (including on Amazon).

Suede is also shaping up to be a big trend this season, so these boots are worth the investment.
2. Mary Janes, Cont.
It's no secret that Mary Janes has been having a moment, but if F/W 24 collections made anything clear, it is that it won't be ending anything soon. From Sandy Liang to Miu Miu to Bally, the fall collections featured this shoe silhouette in every form imaginable—flats and heels alike. Considering its continued presence, there's no better time to buckle in on this trend. But if you need some convincing, let all of the cute options from Amazon's Prime Big Deals Day sell you.

Styling tip: Make these simple flats stand out by styling them with sheer stockings.
Everything about these flats is sublime—from the square toes to the chocolate-brown color to the affordable price point.
3. Animal Instincts
PSA: Animal prints weren't just applied to ready-to-wear this season. Across the fashion ecosystem, we saw animal-print shoes at the top of the food chain—or at least in the F/W 24 collections of major fashion houses such as Versace, Gucci, and Tommy Hilfiger. From crocodile-embossed knee-high boots to leopard-print pumps to zebra-print flats, there's no shortage of ways to embrace your wild side this season. Just be sure to try to keep something "tame" by shopping the trend while it's on sale (you won't regret it).

Snakeskin ankle boots will always be stylish in our books.
The pony-hair material of these boots makes the leopard print pop even more.
We'd style these snakeskin flats with a moto jacket, T-shirt, and jeans.
4. Prep School
Prep-inspired fashion isn't a particularly new trend, but that hasn't put a stop to the proliferation of one shoe—ahem, loafers. We always see this type of shoe trend each fall as younger generations go back to school, but with F/W 24 collections, designers gave this trend a "grown-up" feel through styling, shades, and subtle adaptations to the silhouette. Whether you opt for a classic chunky loafer or one that comes in an animal print, this footwear trend will elevate all your fall ensembles.

5. Hardware Store
Last, but certainly not least, the final noteworthy fall shoe trend is what we're dubbing "hardware store"—aka footwear covered in studs, embellishments, or hardware. Throughout F/W 24 collections, designers added extra hardware to flats, heels, and even boots (see: Tory Burch or Chloé). The overall result is a shoe trend that can give your fall staples a little extra shine this season without needing to go to a hardware store.

We love that the grommets on these flats are gold, silver, and bronze.
