You Can Wear These Fall 2024 Shoe Trends Right Now

We wouldn't go so far as to say that shoes can make or break a runway show, but the right pair of boots, pumps, or sandals does have a major impact. Nowhere was this more clear than on the 2024 Fall/Winter runways during NYFW where designers like AKNVAS, Batsheva, and Christian Cowan opted for a fashion-forward approach that kept models' comfort — and safety — top of mind.

While AKNVAS, Cowan, and Batsheva committed to the aesthetics of their latest collections from head-to-tie, tying trending textures and adornments into their footwear, as well as their garments, they did so in collaboration with shoe brands Toms, Keds, and Stuart Weitzman. All three footwear brands are known for the comfort and wearability of their designs meaning that models in these three runway shoes were able to strut without a single stumble down the runway.

By combining footwear trends with comfortability, these three designers set a new trend for Fall 2024: collaborative shoes you can actually walk in — a win-win for fashionistas everywhere. Ahead, get a closer look at NYFW's biggest fall footwear trend: comfortable collabs that meld the magic of high fashion with supportive silhouettes that won't cramp your feet or your style.
