Ready for a fresh batch of shoe trends? As we sink our teeth into 2021, it’s only natural that we sit down to discuss the upcoming styles that will dominate for the year ahead. Even though shoes tend to have a much longer shelf-life than typical clothing trends, they do also go through style cycles which is why we’re about to highlight the freshest footwear of the moment and, consequently, which now feel outdated.
