To create the most fashionable look, it is always wise to follow trends and ensure that you are up-to-date with what is in fashion. While fashion is continuously changing as new trends enter the market, there are a few hot footwear trends that have remained consistent over the years and are likely to continue into 2022. In this blog post, we will cover our predictions of the top five hottest footwear trends in 2022:
-
1. Leather loafers
Leather loafers have become increasingly popular over the last few years. They are stylish yet simple and are comfortable to wear for any occasion. Decorated with a twist of leather, loafers are a great option for working professionals who have to stay on their feet all day and still maintain that fashionable look. These shoes come in black, brown, and tan; choose a color that will go with the overall color pallette of your wardrobe, and be sure to always coordinate your socks with these shoes to maintain a classic look.
-
2. Retro sneakers
Timeless and fashionable, retro sneakers have been all the rage over the last couple of years, and they will likely only continue to increase in popularity. While NBA legends wore the original retro sneaker designs, modern-day fashionistas have found ways to incorporate these shoes into their daily wardrobes thanks to more recent designer re-imaginings. Sneakers are a lighter, more casual alternative to classic loafers that still don’t sacrifice comfort.

3. Suede Knee-high boots
Suede boots have been a favorite since the turn of the century. This trend can be attributed to how comfortable these boots are and how easy they are to match with more formal outfits.
-
4. Shearling slides
Shearling slides have become very popular in the last couple of years. They are comfortable, trendy, and a great, fashionable alternative to traditional sneakers. The best thing about these shoes is that they are just as appropriate to wear at work as they are to wear on a night out. They are usually made of leather, suede, or shearling and are often embellished with intricate designs.
-
5. Riding boots
Even though they aren’t as popular as they were in the 1800s, riding boots have been making a comeback, becoming all the rage. These boots allow you to add “cowboy” twist to your look that is both fashionable and maintains an endearing western charm.
-
6. Athletic Pool Slides
Athletic pool slides are a fantastic choice for sporty women; they are fashionable, functional, and versatile. These slides look great with jeans, or even a bodysuit, and you can wear them to the gym without having to worry about changing or showering before returning home. These slides are comfortable and perfect for everyday wear.
-
7. Metallic slides
Metallic slides have proven themselves to be enormously popular in the fashion world, allowing the wearer to be both comfortable and flashy. Before deciding to buy a pair of metallic slides, decide what types of colors and patterns you like best. You can then style this bold footwear with an equally bold outfit or go for neutrals and let the shoes pop.
-
8. Chunky loafers
Chunky loafers have been a favorite choice for many celebrities over the last couple of years. Chunky loafers are typically more comfortable than classic loafer styles, as they offer more support to the feet. They also provide a look that can be cool or polished and professional—appropriate for office wear, events, or nights out on the town—depending on how they are styled.
