Injecting the latest shoe trends 2022 into your wardrobe is a quick-fire way of updating your look. Taking their lead from the key winter 2022 fashion trends, this season's footwear styles are incredibly varied, with the fall winter shoe trends honing in on cold-weather favorites - think the best winter boots and plenty of party-ready styles.
And while you'll want to invest in a few new season styles to update your look, many of the shoe trends 2022 from earlier in the year are continuing into the winter, meaning you can get added wear out of newer purchases, with everything from statement platform heels to lug sole boots to still line the shelves of your favorite shoe stores.

21 Shoe Trends 2022 to Shop Now
1. Kitten Heels
A surprisingly tricky trend to try, kitten heels offer a bit of a retro feel to office and party-ready ensembles for the shoe trends 2022. A look that we have seen peeking through since earlier in the year, this look can feel a little dated, particularly thanks to its throw-back '80s connotations.
To give this look a modern feel, opt for embellished styles, alongside leg-lengthening pointed toes. But it isn't just the shoe itself that pulls you through to the fall of 2022. Think about how you style a kitten heel to make this look more fab and less drab. Swap pencil skirts for ankle-skimming jeans or satin slip dresses and try styling your kitten heels with tights - like Dior and Chanel, to ensure the look feels on-trend.

6. Platform Heels
Giambattista Valli / Valentino
Take your feet to new heights (literally!) with some sky-high platform heels. Dominating the runways from Sportmax to Ermanno Scervino in the early part of the year and spotted on our favorite fictional fashion icon Carrie Bradshaw, hefty heels played into the desire from shoppers and designers to dress up once more. While this started as an early shoe trend 2022, expect this look to roll on into party season where it will truly shine. If you're still not used to getting your glad rags on, take heed of this shoe quote from Giuseppe Zanotti, “Never underestimate the power of a shoe”, a speedy way of making your look feel fresh and directional.
"We can definitely see the '90s inspiration coming through, with chunky block heels and colorful platforms - once favored by our beloved Spice Girls and devoted fans everywhere - appearing all over Spring/Summer catwalks," says Eastwood.
"Create a maximalist look by pairing these heels with a bold mini or a printed midi dress and complete the look with a colorful clutch. For a more subtle look, add these statement shoes to an oversized shirt, jeans, and chunky gold jewelry."

7. Ballet flats
Gucci / Valentino
On the other end of the heel spectrum is the simple ballet pump which has made a recent comeback. A popular '90s fashion trend, ballet pumps feel out of favor for a number of years but with the early noughties being a huge fashion trend 2022, it’s no surprise the ballet pump has resurfaced, especially as it has that comfy element too which can resemble slipping into the best slippers - bliss!
Timeless and chic, ballet pumps work with anything from your jeans to skirts and they're an excellent choice if you're wondering what shoes to wear with leggings.

Amina Muaddi / Bottega Veneta
Mules have pretty much cemented themselves into our wardrobes the past few seasons thanks to that quilted style from Bottega Veneta and the fact that '90s fashion trends are still going strong into the later part of 2022. Defined by one simple strap and a low-to-mid heel this year's iteration has a playful spin - from animal prints to sparkly details.
Despite heading into colder months, when wearing mules becomes a little trickier, while you might not want a pair for everyday, when it comes to Christmas party outfits, they're an instant winner. Easy to slip off at the end of the night, look for jeweled and smart iterations to enhance your holiday season look.

With parties back in a major way, designers took the opportunity to go glam on footwear.

Fendi, Dior, Simone Rocha and Max Mara were just some of the brands that sent models' feet dazzling down the runway at the spring/summer 2022 shows.

Dior / Miu Miu
A classic shoe style, the Mary Jane veers in and out of fashion. Distinctive for its closed, rounded toe and at least one strap across the foot, while it usually features a low, block heel, for 2022, it has been reinvented across the runways. Maintaining its doll-like aesthetic, the new Mary Jane features both low and high block heels. In a range of fabrications, including leather, velvet and satin, they were seen at the likes of Thom Browne and Paul and Joe earlier in the year, but as we head into fall expect more celebratory and party iterations ready for the Christmas period.
Our fashion editor recommends...
RRP: $63 / £69 | In a lacquered cognac, these Mary Janes feature a platformed sole for added height. While they will work with dresses or long knitted skirts this fall, their flatter soles make them ideal for teaming with rolled hem straight jeans too.

Balmain/Celine
White shoes are often associated with the brightness of summer but don't discount winter whites too. For the earlier part of the shoe trends 2022 white shoes and boots were spotted on the runway at the likes of Valentino, Jil Sander and Balmain. Taking on varied silhouettes, from the best white trainers to chic ankle boots and statement-heeled sandals. For the shoe trends 2022 as we close out the year, look to new season knee-high boots in winter white hues for a fresh take. But remember, with white shoes, comes great responsibility, so make sure to learn how to clean white shoes in order to keep them in tip-top condition.

Versace / Bottega Veneta
If you love a nostalgic '90s anklet, then you'll love this trend. Ideal for wearing with shorter dresses and cropped hem jeans, ankle detailing up-styles all shoe shapes and silhouettes this season. From statement straps to chain detailing, ankle embellishment was big news on the runway.

15. Padded Shoes
Giambattista Valli/Ottolinger
A major trend across the board, fashion is officially obsessed with quilting. From coats to the best Saint Laurent handbags and everything in-between, if it can be quilted, guaranteed designers have done so. Pillowy in style, look out for thicker and fuller straps, knots, twists and quilt detailing for a creative take on this season's footwear.

16. Creative Heels
Malene Birger / Dior
With runway shows happening six months in advance of the season, designers have to predict the mood of consumers to help direct their ranges. For this next trend, the likes of Loewe, Balmain and Tom Ford opted for a post-pandemic golden age of dressing up and frivolity. As we've all begun to ease back into a more regular routine, sculptural heels played a huge role in inviting shoppers to enjoy going out again and with a season of Christmas parties on the cards, we expect this trend to continue to be embraced in a big way.
Sculptural stilettos played with geometric shapes and chains as a way of up-styling heels. This quirky trend is a hard one to replicate for straight-to-market brands, due to the intricacy of the design, but look out for any added detail, contrasting block color heel interpretations, and unusual embellishments.
RRP: $99.50 / £87.33 | Look like you've walked straight off the runway for a fraction of the price in these striking pearl stiletto heels. With a slingback strap for support, the pointed toe and blush hue adds a leg lengthening finish to this party-ready shoe.

17. Clogs
Bottega Veneta / Hermes
Clogs have really gained in the fashion stakes in recent seasons. Their easy and comfortable nature, coupled with leading clog brand, Crocs's concerted effort on the collaborative fashion front (teaming up with everyone from Christopher Kane to Balenciaga), the clog is making a firm bid for a spot in your capsule wardrobe. Spotted at the likes of Saint Laurent, Versace and Balenciaga, this chunky, rounded front, shoe style is ideal for pairing with wide-leg jeans or linen trousers for a laidback look. A rather heavy silhouette, we don't recommend pairing with dresses as it works best with more androgynous pieces. Although this is a much more summer leaning trend, for transitional fall weather, clogs can still make their mark, and pair with tights easily enough too.
RRP: $43 / £40 | 2022 has seen the return of Crocs. Collaborating with Balenciaga, and with regular appearances in street-style fashion snaps, there is no escaping this year's most outrageous shoe choice. Check out the fur-lined version for extra winter comfort.

18. Wedges
Coperni / Louis Vuitton
For all those who find heels tough going but want a little added height, it's time to rejoice as the wedge has made a welcomed return to the runway. Spotted at the likes of Versace, Acne and Fendi, it often took on a narrower and slightly more sculptural silhouette than you might be used to, but as much as the new slimmed-down wedge has trickled into the ready to wear market, you can still expect chunkier iterations too.
A wedge offers greater balance than heels as the height is more graduated, an ideal training ground if you're hoping to work on your heel game. While in the summer season we saw block color interpretations alongside wooden and raffia fabrications, as we head into fall and winter, look for wedge boots for a directional way to wear the trend.
RRP: $111 / £60 | Wedge boots formed part of the boot trends for the season and this platform design with sleek ankle finish will work well with everything. Slip under flared pants, rock with tights and dresses or add a grungy feel to skinny jeans.
RRP: $89/90 / £59.99 | For a modern twist on the wedge, this clear, perspex style shoe is quite the talking point. With vinyl straps for added foot support, these will work all year through, teaming with party dresses for an effortless and edgy finish.
RRP: $335 / £225 | This suede and leather design combines the mule and wedge trends in one for a great new season shoe. Wearable for the party season, they'll still be chic next summer too.
19. Textured Footwear
Elie Saab / Balenciaga
We might be ready to embrace getting dressed up again, but if you're already missing your best loungewear looks, then this next shoe trend is one to invest in and a look that you can still love in winter too. Despite a return to skyscraper heels, designers such as Fendi, Altuzarra and Miu Miu also injected cozy elements into collections. Shearling and faux fur made a surprising appearance in footwear, both on shoe exteriors and as a snug inner lining to allow you to feel like you're in your fave slippers while remaining at the forefront of fashion.
RRP: $130 / £110 | Executing this trend to perfection, these UGG slipper/sandal hybrids are smart and playful. The logo straps tap into the ankle-focus trend, while the colorful platforms add some interest to your fluffy shoe game.
RRP: $170 / £160 | Combine two of the shoe trends 2022 in one with these impossibly cozy Birkesntock clogs. Perfect to wear as slippers or for running errands, they'll even replace your best cashmere socks, in fact, we reckon you won't want to take them off.
RRP: $220 / £201 | Combine statement footwear and comfort with these fuzzy pink heels. With a Barbiecore feel, they'll keep you warm whilst giving a fashion-forward look. With pink remaining big trend next year, you'll get plenty of wear from them.
20. Rubberized Shoes
Crocs / Miu Miu
Interpreted on the runways through rubberized boots and almost jelly-like sandals, designers looked to fresh fabrications to reignite shoppers' passion for fashion. Whether you're battling the upcoming rain in rubber booties and your best waterproof jacket, or opting to up your slipper game with rubberized sandals, this look helped to inject some fun into fashion week.
Our fashion editor recommends...

21. Gladiator Sandals
Valentino / Valentino
Yes. you read that right. Gladiator sandals made a comeback for the shoe trends 2022. Although they've never gone fully out of style, the design isn't always considered a major trend for the summer season in particular. But this shoe trend walked straight back onto the runway and into our closet. Defined by their multi-strap detail, for summer 2022, we saw all kinds of iterations. From statement knee-high versions to more easily translatable ankle strap designs, surprisingly easy to style, sandal iterations will still work for dry fall days. With stand-out versions were seen at the likes of Alberta Ferretti, Paco Rabanne, Dior Chloé, and Ports 1961, to make this look work into cooler months, look for covered toe iterations that can even be styled with tights, and relegate barely-there versions to summer or winter sun wear only.
