6 Shoe Trends I’m Buying at Nordstrom (and 6 I’m Retiring)

If there’s one easy way to give your outfit an of-the-moment look, it’s with a trending pair of shoes. Personally, I alwaysfind the change in season to be the perfect opportunity to invest in a chic new style and reinvigorate my wardrobe.

So what exciting footwear trends have we got to look forward to this year? Luckily, there’s a little something for every sartorial taste—whether you’re into edgy moto boots, pretty ballet flats, or statement metallics. Below, I’m sharing the six styles that will be everywhere by spring, along with the silhouettes I’ll be phasing out (for now). The easy part? You can score all these cool styles at trusty retailer, Nordstrom. Who doesn’t love a great Nordstrom shoe find? Keep scrolling for spring’s biggest shoe trends at every price point.

Metallic shoes (and bags, for that matter) are having a major moment in 2023 and were spotted all over the spring runways. We’re seeing the fashion set wearing them in full force from slingbacks to boots. Set aside the neon shades for now and go for something shiny instead.

Mary Janes are stealing the spotlight this year. Prada sent nearly every look down the runway with heeled Mary-Jane shoes, and plenty of other designers got in on the action, including Coach and Chanel. Plus, there are plenty of iterations. From dressy flats and goth styles to minimalist straps to abundant buckles, you’re sure to find a style that catches your eye.

From cool moto boots (inspired by Miu Miu) to lace-up combats, this year, we continue to see bold and buckle-heavy stompers reign supreme. They look unabashedly cool with jeans and mini skirts alike. Retire your animal prints for now and go for bolshy boots instead.

The fashion crowd can’t get enough of cool high-top basketball sneakers right now in retro silhouettes. From New Balances to Nikes, throw them on with a pair of relaxed jeans for an of-the-moment look.

Sleek and sophisticated, thank Chanel for the slingback kitten heels that have been all over your Instagram feed this season. But whether you go for heels or flats, one thing is certain: they’re the perfect choice for day-to-night dressing.
