It’s always an exciting time when you wave goodbye to your winter boots and bring out spring footwear. The weather is getting warmer, the days are extending, and you might even begin to think about wearing open-toe shoes.

The top shoe styles for this spring

From sneakers to mules, let’s find out which shoe styles are in this spring!

Flats

Heel-phobes can celebrate this season as flat shoes are officially in. Not only are they super comfortable, but they also come in plenty of styles, like ballet pumps . So, slip into flats and strut in style (and comfort).

Sneakers

Comfortable and practical, sneakers are some of the best spring shoes. Once a shoe reserved for exercise only, you can now wear sneakers whenever you like, whether you’re walking the dog or brunching with the girls. Our tip? Choose a pair in white to go with every outfit.

Clogs and mules

Those in search of spring shoes for work should look no further than clogs and mules. Both styles are set to make a comeback this year, so now’s the time to own a pair! Mules are designed to slip on and off the feet, while clogs have a low back to provide more support. These smart and practical shoes are made for the office.

Loafers

Loafers are slip-on shoes with a back for extra support. They’re set to make fashion waves this spring, with chunky styles spotted on numerous runways. Loafers are fantastic work shoes and look great paired with smart pants and a button-down shirt.

Platforms and wedges

Spindly stilettos may be out, but if you’re looking for extra height, you’ll be happy to know that platforms and wedges are in. These feet-friendly heels offer plenty of cushioning and grip – just look at our Dash Lite Wish!

The top color trends for this spring

Curious about colors? Here are the gorgeous hues seen on this year’s catwalks.

Metallics

Metallic silver and gold shoes are set to be huge this spring. While metallics may seem bold, it’s surprisingly easy to wear. Metallics follow the same rules as neutral shades, so you can pair them with any color. Hello, endless styling options!

The Nalle Lace in bronze, Rena Step in bronze, and Karsea Mule in silver are just a few of our favorite metallic styles.

Primary colors

The bolds are in this season, so stand out with your footwear. Primary hues like blue, red, green, and yellow have frequented this year’s runways, and now it’s time to experiment for yourself. Go all-out with a bold monochromatic look or keep your outfit neutral and let your colorful shoes do the talking.

Looking for some inspiration? Check out the Glide Post flip-flop in cherry red and bright blue. Or opt for the Sarafyna Iris loafer in grenadine leather or the Breeze Sea flip-flop in burnt yellow.

Pastels

How to transition winter shoes to spring?

Changing your shoes is the easiest way to refresh looks for spring. While spring promises sunnier days, wind and rain can still make an appearance, so you’ll occasionally need warm shoes. Light ankle boots make great transitional pieces and are perfect for spring, especially if you have lots of outdoor plans lined up. If you live in a sunnier state, choose ankle boots with cutouts or peep toes for more breathability.

Sneakers and canvas shoes are the perfect transition shoes, since they can be worn all year round. For spring, choose a pretty pastel pair like the Breeze Step II.
