With most of summer behind us, it's time to start thinking about fall-related topics, such as shoes for the new season. I love many fall-related topics, but this is perhaps my favorite. Designer shoes are typically the first footwear offerings to come out for fall, and they inevitably set the tone for the remainder of the season.
If you're a designer-shoe lover who's been known to kick yourself when those coveted It shoes you've been meaning to order are suddenly sold out everywhere in your size, let this serve as your reminder to shop early because it will happen again once the rest of the world catches on. So if you'd like a preliminary heads-up about which Prada, Gucci, Khaite, The Row, and Miu Miu (to name a few) shoes are most likely to be It shoes by the time fall arrives, this is a great place to start. Keep scrolling for the most stunning shoes of fall 2024 (so far).
Leave it to Prada to make an existing It shoe even better (with the addition of leopard print, in this case).
The beauty of these Bottega pumps lies in the tread sole and gold chain strap.
Moto boots are set to be big again this fall, and this pair is as elegant as it gets.
These remind me of hotel slippers in the most elevated way possible.
I've never wanted a pair of mesh flats more.
Remember those Gucci desert boots that flew out of stock last fall? They're back and in new colorways.
Alaïa just keeps giving the people what they want.
They come in black, too, but I predict the white pair will really take off.
Have you ever seen a chicer kitten heel?
I know plenty of fashion people that will be yearning for cold weather to arrive so that they can wear these.
Manolo's iconic mules now come in velvet. Sign me up.
These are enough to make me think that block heels are making a comeback.
Leave it to The Row to make us want yet another pair of ballerinas.
Get ready for leopard-print shoes to be everywhere.
These beauties are already starting to sell out in this color—consider yourself warned.
The oversize buckle (and the color) are just so good.
Every designer shoe roundup needs a pair of Tabis.
These are flying out of stock, so if you're ready to invest, don't delay.
These make every outfit 1000 times cooler.
You don't need me to tell you how cool and elegant these are.
Trust me—these will be the next Saint Laurent It pumps.
These are a work of art.
These are my idea of the perfect black knee boots.
Just add a sweater and jeans.
You need to see these from the top to really appreciate them.
Featuring that distinctive Bottega knot hardware we all know and love.
These Western moto boots are the best of both worlds.
Interesting pumps are always a hot commodity.
Everyone in fashion is clamoring for Chloé pieces right now.
The likelihood that these will sell out while still on preorder is high.
These may be polarizing, but you have to admit that they're cool.
