The Top 5 Shoe Trends You'll See Everywhere This Spring
Okay, so spring is finally here, and I don’t know about you, but every year I get super excited—and also panicked—about updating my shoe game. Like, do I really need another pair of sneakers? Did my sandals survive last year’s coffee spill? And honestly, why do shoes always mysteriously smell weird after winter?
Anyway, I’ve been stalking the streets, scrolling through Instagram, and yes, even looking down at people’s feet in the hallway (don’t judge me), and I’ve noticed five shoe trends that are everywhere this spring. I’ve tried some myself, totally failed with others, but here’s the lowdown.
1. Chunky Sneakers Are Still a Thing 😎
Yes, they’re still here, and no, they’re not going anywhere. Honestly, I thought I’d be over them by now, but nope. Chunky sneakers are basically the superheroes of shoes.
-
Why they’re great: You can walk forever, run late to class, and still look kind of cool.
-
How to wear them: Mom jeans, midi skirts, even casual dresses. Throw them on and suddenly you’re “effortlessly stylish.”
-
Tiny tip: Keep them clean-ish. Nothing kills the vibe like dirty, scuffed soles.
Side note: I once wore mine in the rain and it was… let’s just say, a learning experience.
2. Square-Toed Flats 👠
Okay, real talk. I thought these looked weird at first. Like, why are the toes… square? But now? Obsessed. They’re chic without being heels, and surprisingly comfortable.
-
Wear with: Tailored pants, midi skirts, or even casual jeans.
-
Pro move: Neutral colors. Black, beige, white—you literally can’t go wrong.
Fun story: I wore mine for a whole day walking around campus and didn’t regret it once. That’s huge for me, because heels = nope.
3. Low, Chunky Heels 🥿
Heels without the pain. Yes, this is a real thing. Low chunky heels give you a little lift, make your posture better, and actually let you walk across campus without hobbling.
-
Style tip: Neutrals are safe, but spring pastels? So fun.
-
Why I love them: You can feel fancy without regretting it halfway through the day.
I keep a pair in my bag for “emergency style moments” when I want a little height but sneakers feel lazy.
4. Strappy Sandals 🌞
Ah, strappy sandals. They scream spring, summer, brunch, and that carefree vibe. I had a pair last year that I literally wore every single day until they fell apart—RIP.
-
Wear with: Flowy skirts, dresses, cropped pants—anything that shows off the straps.
-
Extra tip: Don’t over-accessorize your feet. Let the sandals be the star.
Also, a warning: windy days + flowy skirts + strappy sandals = a mild fashion panic. Learned that one the hard way.
5. Bold, Colorful Sneakers 🎨
Finally, the fun stuff. Neon accents, wild patterns, clashing colors—spring is the time to let your shoes do the talking.
-
Pro tip: Pair with neutral outfits so they pop.
-
Why they’re everywhere: They’re fun, comfy, and they instantly make a plain outfit feel like a statement.
I tried neon pink sneakers with an all-black outfit once, and honestly? People stared—but in a good way. I felt like a walking mood board.
Final Thoughts
Spring shoes are all about fun, comfort, and personality. From chunky sneakers to strappy sandals, there’s literally something for everyone. My main advice: don’t overthink it. Wear what feels good, what makes you smile, and maybe, just maybe, make your friends a tiny bit jealous (in a totally nice way).
Honestly, spring is too short to wear boring shoes. So go ahead, step out in something new, and enjoy the season one cute (and slightly messy) step at a time. 👟✨
