These 8 Shoe Brands Are Blowing Up on Instagram

We use the 'gram for a number of reasons: We scroll through our feeds when we commute to work, in our free time, to take a quick mental break, and when we're in need of a hefty dose of inspiration, whether that be in the world of fashion or in the realm of food. You can always count on Instagram to give you insights into what's currently trending, what people are gravitating toward right this minute, and, of course, offer up a visual lesson in how to style said piece or trend.

Being the shoe fanatics we are—we love clothes, that's a given, but nothing is as satisfying as freshening up our footwear collection—we decided to turn to the social-sharing app to find the buzziest, most popular shoe brands of the moment. As per usual, our source was our vast network of in-the-know tastemakers and our method for honing in on these must-know footwear lines was keeping track of those brands that just about every fashion girl has slipped into this season.
