It’s almost time to kick off the sandals and strap into 2024’s autumn/winter shoe trends. This year, it’s all about merging comfort with fashion. From the bold and chunky to the sleek and sophisticated – here’s the footwear you should be running with for the upcoming season:
The chunky revival
Prepare to strut the streets with confidence as chunky footwear takes center stage this autumn/winter.
Think oversized soles, platform boots, and chunky sneakers that make a bold statement. Brands are embracing the ’90s nostalgia with robust designs, providing not only a fashionable edge but also comfort for those chilly winter walks.
Loafers will stay
The boundaries between casual and formal footwear are blurring as hybrid styles dominate this season, just as they did in 2023. Loafer-style boots, sneaker-inspired heels, and formal shoes with a sporty twist are all the rage. These versatile options allow fashionistas to seamlessly transition from work to social events without compromising on style.

Statement heels
For those who love to elevate their style, AW 2024 brings a collection of statement heels that demand attention. Sculptural heels, geometric shapes, and asymmetrical designs will be seen gracing the runways and the streets alike. These striking heels are the perfect way to add a touch of drama to any outfit.

High-tech comfort
Comfort meets technology in the footwear trends of AW 2024. Brands are incorporating innovative materials, cushioning technologies, and ergonomic designs to ensure that style doesn’t compromise comfort. Sneakers with smart technology features, adaptive fits, and temperature-regulating materials are set to revolutionize the way we think about winter footwear.
