Step into the new season with Be Iconic Style’s guide to the must-have footwear trends for spring and summer 2025!
If you’ve been with me for a while, you’ve likely heard me say that when people size you up, their eyes start—and end—at your feet. Your shoes say everything about your style and success, so they need to be on point. This season, the selections are nothing short of spectacular!
This post is all about stunning silhouettes—think pointed toes, essential sneakers, fabulous boots, effortless slides, chic mules, timeless flats, comfy espadrilles, and the perfect sandals. Every one of these styles is a worthy addition to your forever wardrobe—pieces you’ll live in and love this spring, summer, and beyond.
Ladies, I want you to keep one thing in mind: shopping is still at an all-time high, and things are selling out fast. If you’re obsessed with something, don’t wait—grab it before it’s gone!
So, have fun choosing the pieces to add to your spring shoe wardrobe, and enjoy every treasured addition!
Are you ready? Let’s get to it!
Flats
We could call this category the few and the fabulous. While you’ll find more flats throughout the blog, some fit just as well in other categories—so don’t worry, there are plenty to see! In this selection, you’ll find standout loafers, including classic driving moccasins, along with a few irresistibly chic ballet flats.
Sneakers
The sneakers here mostly showcase this season’s new retro trend. I’ve also included a couple of iconic leather classics that I consider essential, but the retro sneaker is what’s fresh. They add a fun, comfy edge to any look you style them with.
Boots
Every pair of boots in this yummy category embodies a trend that’s either edgy, timeless, or both. Tall boots are having a major moment, western styles are everywhere, and lug soles continue to bring that bold edge we love. A few standouts don’t fit into a specific trend—but the moment you see them, you’ll know they’re total look poppers! This might just be love at first sight!
Sandals
You’ll notice sandals are split into two sections—one for flat silhouettes and another for heeled, wedge, platform, and slide styles. This lineup has it all, from timeless essentials to chic investment pieces to fun and funky finds!
There is so much to catch the eye, and all these looks will inspire you to see how a simple change of shoes can change your look. The “WOW” factor here is massive. And look carefully; some of the styles you’ll see will be the perfect addition to your essential wardrobe.
Heeled Sandals
Flat Sandals
Espadrilles & Boat Shoes
Both of these shoe categories are hot trends this season, and I can’t wait to see even more as the season unfolds. Each pair is quintessentially summer—a true wardrobe treasure. Their lightweight feel and the comfort factor only add to their allure
Once again, we have the few and the fabulous, and you’re going to love what’s here! The boat shoe, in particular, is making a comeback after decades, striking the perfect balance between edgy and preppy. What a fun addition to your shoe wardrobe they’ll be!
Clogs
Clogs are having a major moment this season, thanks to their key role in the ’70s Boho trend. And if you’re like me, you love clogs! Their easy, comfortable vibe makes them a go-to, especially with wide-leg jeans (another big trend) and, of course, flares.
Channel your inner hippie and create that relaxed fun look that draws so many compliments! You’re going to love what’s here—a sort of edgy good time! I’ve even included a couple of chic rain clogs!
Pointed Toes
Every one of these pointed-toe treasures is a keeper! Not only do they dial up the chic factor, but they’re also head-turning, showstopping additions that will serve you well for years to come.
Here, you’ll find flats, pumps, and mules—all sporting this season’s trend while staying timeless with their pointed toes. These are true WOW pieces—each one a chic, versatile addition to your shoe wardrobe. Trust me, you’re going to love them!
Summing it All Up
If you’re anything like me, every style in these categories will have your heart racing. We all have a deep love for shoes—maybe even more than any other part of our wardrobe—and this season’s incredible finds are as chic as they are endlessly wearable.
Shoes are always at the top of our heart’s desires where style is concerned. Of course, we love our clothes, but there’s just something about shoes that’s irresistible! They’re also a critical category to consider when building your Essential Wardrobe. That’s where a well-thought-out Needs List comes in—helping you curate a collection you’ll be obsessed with and wear for years.
