Exposing your toes may be the last thing you want to do right now, but this year’s crop of spring shoes—and trends—is worth slipping out of your matted slippers for. There’s something to charm the wool socks off everyone: the ballet curious, the boot aficionado, the winter whites advocate, and even the anti-trend weird girl.
In fact, there are so many shoe trends this year, it’s hard to decide which ones to jump for. Thankfully, there’s ample spring outfit inspiration, courtesy of recent Paris and Copenhagen fashion weeks. As usual, classic sneakers are in play, though you’ll want to scroll down to see which pair to snag in particular. If you want something that’ll get heads turning, knee-high boots and pumps are zestier than ever. Of course, if inflation (and the general state of the world) has you embracing whatever’s already in your closet, you’re in luck—there’s a trend-proof look for you just ahead. Keep scrolling to shop the best spring shoe trends of 2023.
Psst! Looking to score deals on the best spring shoes? Head this way for Nordstrom, Shopbop, Net-a-Porter, and Saks Fifth Avenue promo codes to save big on the best spring shoe styles for women. You can also snag discounts at Nike and Madewell if you’re in the market for gym-class-worthy kicks, along with promo codes for brands like Free People, Everlane, Urban Outfitters, and even Tory Burch.

If you're tired of seeing yet another pair of white sneakers on your street-style icon, sorry, that’s not going to change. But what you might see is said style queen joining the three-stripe ranks by way of Adidas’s Samba and Gazelle shoes. This trend isn’t new—Sambas have been popular for decades, having originated as an actual soccer cleat in the 1950s—and the likes of Bella Hadid, Rihanna, and Kaia Gerber have long worn the Adidas bestsellers. But if you haven’t yet gotten comfortable with athletic styling (think Renton in Trainspotting, not your influencer’s fave black leggings), start your engines. The fashion world is feeling très sporty, thanks to the 2022 World Cup effect and booming F1 popularity in the US.
