The #1 Shoe Trend You're About to See All Over the Place

last updated 13 August 2019

When it comes to fashion, it's never too early to start thinking ahead and shopping ahead for that matter. As always, the F/W 17 runways sent out a slew of winter trends that had us anxiously anticipating the season ahead, but there was one particular shoe trend (or colour should we say) that stood out among the rest. Red shoes of all styles were sent out by some of the biggest designers in the industry, including Balenciaga, Gucci, and Fendi.

From red ankle boots to sporty sneakers to jaw-dropping heels, there is no denying the powerful presence this new winter shoe trend is going to have this coming season. Since street style stars have already taken a liking to this trend, retailers are already producing this trend, and designers are clearly supporting the trend, there is only one more round of approvals left, and that's you. Are you on board with bright red shoes for fall?

Go on to see the red winter shoe trend on the runway, on our favourite street style stars, plus our favourite selection of red shoes on the market now.
