Fall Shoe Trends Taking Over the Runway this Year

From Chanel to Bottega Veneta, several shoe styles showed up repeatedly across the Fall/Winter 2026 runway shows, pointing to what's likely to trend this season.

This fall, we’re taking shoe inspiration from what’s trending on the runway. Here are the styles that kept reappearing across major shows this season, which you may want to add to your collection this fall.

Jazz shoes, with their structured toe and lace-up detail, showed up in the runways of Bottega Veneta, Celine, and Prada, each with their own take on the shoe design. More commanding than typical ballet flats, jazz shoes are just as comfortable.

Cap-toe shoes also stood out in Matthieu Blazy's Fall/Winter 2026 debut at Chanel. Two-tone cap-toes showed up on everything from boots to heels, adding a small but striking detail to otherwise simple silhouettes.

Beyond those two popular shoe trends, each runway season brought its own distinct additions. InStyle highlighted the slip-on mules at Miu Miu, which were smartly paired with mini dresses and leather blazers. There’s also the knee-high boots at Ralph Lauren and a fresh take on classic loafers at Tory Burch.

Whether you're drawn to the low-key comfort of jazz shoes or the drama of knee-high boots, this season's shoe trends prove there's no single "right" way to dress up your feet for fall.
