We may not have fall here, but we can’t pass up on some of the season’s latest trends. And what caught our eye recently were the shoe trends to watch out for. From leather loafers to fur details, there’s a style that you can wear wherever you go.
We’ve picked out a few that you can snag so you can say hello to the fall season all the way here in Manila in your own way.
Loafers
Whether it’s something casual for the mall or work wear, you can’t go wrong with a pair of loafers. These shoes can range from neutral to colorful, but still give your look a chic, retro vibe.

Velvet platforms
Give your stilettos a rest and opt for some chunky-heeled velvet platforms inspired by the ’70s to give you more height―be it at an event or while wearing your favorite skinny jeans.

Platform sneakers
Another way to add some height, especially if you’re the sporty type, are platform sneakers. A perfect match for jeans, shorts, and even maxi dresses.

Fur details
It may be an unconventional design over here, but it doesn’t hurt to try shoes with a little fur on them. It easily adds more dimension to the shoe in a playful way.
Gucci Princetown Velvet Slipper (P39,406). Available at Greenbelt 4. For more information, visit their website.
Marco De Vincenzo Feather-Embellished Satin and Patent-Leather Sandals (P37,320). Available at Net-a-Porter.
Simone Rocha Leather and Faux Fur Sandals (P20,537). Available at Net-a-Porter.
Over the knee shoes
Ideally, this trend calls for knee-high boots only. But, you can put a local (hello, heat!) spin to this by wearing gladiator sandals which are just as stylish, especially if you’re wearing a skirt or dress.
Zara Stretch Leg High Heel Boots (P3,995). Available at Power Plant Mall and Glorietta 3. For a complete list of stores and more information, visit their website.

Animal prints
Add a daring flare to any outfit with an animal print shoe. This year’s fall trends didn’t specify whether to use leopard, snake, and so on, so you’re free to use whatever design suits your personality.
Alexander Wang ‘Gabi’ Leopard Print Calf Hair Bootie (P42,530). Available at Nordstrom.
Kate Spade Davie Heels in Blush/Brown (P17,524). Available at Glorietta 3 and Greenbelt 3. For a complete list of stores and more information, visit their website.
Zara Printed Medium Heel Shoes (P2,595).
Ballet-inspired
Nothing says feminine than shoes with ribbons. The ballet-inspired shoe trend can work well with day dresses you’ll wear during weekend brunches and even a stroll at a park.
Steve Madden ‘Christey’ Wraparound Ankle Tie Sandal (P5,501). Available at Nordstrom.
H&M Shoes with Lacing (P1,690). Available at SM Makati and SM Megamall. For a complete list of stores and more information, visit their website.

Mules
It may look simplistic but the mule is a must-have slip-on when you’re wearing culottes or dresses. So if you’re looking for shoes you can use while walking down the city streets, opt for these ones. But just between the two of us, we obsess over the awkward heel version in the office.
Stella McCartney Faux Patent Leather Slippers (P32,445). Available at Net-a-Porter.
3.1 Phillip Lim Cube Suede Mules (P24,288). Available at Net-a-Porter.
Zalora Mule Flats (P799). Available at Zalora.
