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. And I don't know about you, but shoes are my favorite topic of conversation, something that my vast (and I do mean vast) collection speaks to. So let's dive right in.

Obviously, there are a number of shoes we're not about to see a ton of this year, such as tall heels and the like, but taking their places are new styles such as retro sneakers, flatforms, and, yes, even clogs that prove comfort and style can go hand in hand. Over the next 12 months, prepare to see a lot more of the following seven shoe trends. You'd even be wise to start shopping for your next pair now.
