2018 was the year chunky dad sneakers and '90s mules, but 2019 is taking a step in a different direction. Don't take our word for it—we took inspiration directly from the fall 2019 runways to see what your favorite designers are suggesting this season. Trade in your basic ankle boots for clunky platforms courtesy of Prada, explore evening shoes with a bedazzled pump like Tom Ford, and trim your shoes in shearling a la Chanel. Check out the seven hottest shoe trends of the season, with options to shop at every price point ahead.
Combat Boots
Nothing makes you want to stomp around more than a combat boot. We saw classic styles at Alexander Mcqueen, but Prada took it next level by combining the rugged boot with the teeny purse trend. Their ankle-bag boots (center) are sure to be an influencer fave.

Jeweled Princess Shoes
Dainty heels are getting embellished to the max this season. Pumps bedazzled with bows, crystals and ribbons can amp-up the simplest LBD for your next fall wedding, but they will also look great with jeans.

'70s Knee High
Knee-high boots do not get enough love, but this season nothing is chicer than cool cognac. The classic style goes great with almost any daytime look, so explore boot options in tanned chestnut, faux croc, and more.

Square Toes
We discussed just how square-toed shoes are taking over our closet, and the trend is not slowing down. Bottega Veneta reigns as the leader of the angular shoe, but you cop the style at any budget, silhouette, and heel height.
