7 Shoe Trends Currently Dominating Our Instagram Feeds
As the saying goes, give someone the right shoes and they can conquer the world. Fortunately, we're in luck because there is no shortage of exceptional shoes to be had this season. Go forth and conquer, my friends! From barely there strappy sandals to cowboy boots to the coolest sneakers, our favorite fashion girls have been blowing up our Instagram feeds with the latest shoe trends dominating this season. Scroll below for the must-have shoes to add to your cart—and to your Insta feed right now. And get a hint on what shoes will be transitioning us into fall.
Block Heels
Chunky (and ultra comfortable!) block heels have been reigning supreme on Instagram this summer. Opt for sandals with an easy ankle strap in bright and bold hues or versatile neutrals.
Barely There Strappy Sandals
Delicate "naked" sandals have made a huge comeback this year. They're not only ultra-versatile, but they also elongate your legs.
Not Your Average Heels
Contemporary and quirky heels have been trending this season—think graphic shapes like spherical balls and modern fabrics like wood and glass.
Chunky Sneakers
Love them or hate them, chunky platform sneakers are still dominating our feeds in full force. Give them a sophisticated touch by wearing them with a ditsy floral-print dress.
Square Toe
Square-toe shoes from the '90s are back—as seen all over the F/W 18 runways. We've already been spying them on the Insta set, and they're set to be huge for fall. Wear yours as boots, mules, and pumps.
Transparent
From sandals to boots, the fashion crowd loves clear plastic shoes, and it's easy to see why. They go with practically every outfit, as they have no color to clash with. Show off your summer tan in these chic options below.
Cowboy Boots
Make a statement in Western-style cowboy boots—a trend that was huge in the Pre-Fall 18 collections. Wear them with a denim mini skirt for a full-on Western vibe.
Up next, these are the best shoes to wear with a midi skirt.
