Listen Up—I Just Found the Most Popular Fall Shoe Trends at Nordstrom

Whether they're bopping around the busy streets of NYC or jet-setting to Paris, fashion people have been embracing a handful of particular shoe trends. Yes, I'm talking about everyone from your favorite TikTok influencer to your stylish neighbor. All of the style-minded folks are donning a similar set of popular shoe trends. The styles in question are not only versatile, but they also lend themselves to mixing and matching seamlessly with an endless number of cool looks. Since I believe in spreading the love, I've listed out these trends in question and exactly where you can buy them.
Nordstrom is the ultimate one-stop shop for virtually any fashion need, and WWW editors can't get enough of the retailer's robust offerings. I've dug through the virtual aisles to find an array of Nordstrom's best shoe-shopping options so you, dear reader, can tap into these popular shoe trends as well. From sneakers to flats, there's something ahead to cater to just about anyone's style sensibilities. Keep scrolling to uncover your soon-to-be-favorite pair of shoes.
Chic Flats
Fashion people have completely embraced flats, making a chic pair the perfect wardrobe addition this fall. If you want to add a flat-shoe style to your wardrobe, consider one with cool details. Right now, you can score many fun fabrications such as suede and mesh and hardware details like grommets and studs.
Loafers
Loafers—whether classic or trendy—continue to be the polished shoe style of choice among the fashion set. Whether you dress them up or down, there are endless ways to craft a loafer-worthy outfit.
Shorter Heels
Raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by high heels. Well, kitten heels are proof you don't need the extra lift to pull off an immensely chic look. There are all kinds of shorter-heel styles popping up this fall that'll mesh well with your coziest looks.
Low-Rise Sneakers
In the sneaker realm, low-rise sneaker styles continue to dominate. From Adidas to Nike, sleek trainers are currently on top. I love seeing fun pops of color in my sneakers, but you can't go wrong with neutral, go-with-everything kicks.
Tall Boots
It isn't fall if you don't see a range of fashion folks strutting around with the coolest boots. If you had to grab one pair of boots as the weather dips, I'd recommend opting for a taller style.
