The weather is starting to cool down, so the fall 2019 runway trends will be here before you know it (and before you've fully paid off last month's credit card bills). We've pinpointed the overall style trends of 2019 to know, and now we're breaking it down further with a focus on footwear.


After examining the spring and fall collections, we've determined which sandals to pack on vacay and the one boot we'll see everywhere in September. After all, runways dictate what's going to be popular—and thereby replicated by every major retailer so you can afford the trends too.

Fashion's obsession with feet—toes, specifically—can be traced back to Maison Margiela who first launched this Tabi calfskin boot in the '80s. (One of our editors even dared to rock the trend and loved it.) For spring 2019, the big toe energy came back strong with plenty of designers, from Tibi to Dries Van Noten, creating toe-strap shoes. These looked sleeker and more chic than its 2018 counterpart Y/Project, but still placed a heavy emphasis on one's toe. If you don't already own a pair, shop some cute options below to wear with your jeans and sweaters as we welcome fall.
