Summer is almost behind us and it’s time to start thinking about fall-related themes, such as shoes for the new season. I love a lot of fall-related themes, but this one might be my favorite. Designer shoes are usually the first footwear offerings to hit the market in fall, and they inevitably set the tone for the rest of the season.
If you’re a designer shoe lover who’s been annoyed that the coveted It shoes you’ve been meaning to order are suddenly sold out in your size everywhere, this should serve as a reminder to shop early, because this will happen again once the rest of the world gets a taste for it. So if you want to know in advance which shoes from Prada, Gucci, Khaite, The Row, and Miu Miu (to name a few) are most likely to be It shoes come fall, this is a great place to start. Keep scrolling to see the most stunning shoes of fall 2024 (so far).
Prada
Printed leather mules
Leave it to Prada to make an existing It shoe even better (in this case by adding a leopard print).
Bottega Veneta
Melbourne pumps in shiny crinkled leather with embellishment
The beauty of these pumps from Bottega lies in the profile sole and the gold chain strap.
