While the weather can’t seem to make its mind up, we’re making the unanimous decision that it’s time for spring shoes. Pedi-ready or not, we’re set to break free from the confinements of boots in favour of fresh new spring/summer 2022 trends, and there’s no shortage of styles to try out. It can become a bit of a minefield deciphering which pairs are actually worth trying out, though, so this is why we’ve shortlisted 6 key styles we know will be huge news from here on out. Spotted on the runways at some of our favourite designers, and already being worn by some of our favourite fashion people, it can only be a recipe for success.
So whether it’s a caged fisherman sandal as seen at Max Mara, Mary Janes backed by fashion houses Chanel and Christian Dior or quirky clogs loved by Rejina Pyo and Ganni, this is your style bible to the shoes that’ll go with all your spring outfits, no matter the weather forecast.
French fashion houses Chanel and Christian Dior both put Mary Janes on the catwalk for spring/summer 2022. Giving that certain je ne sais quoi to any look this season, both designer and influencers have decided they work wonders with a mini.
Monochrome will always be chic.
These are so inclusive in size 2-11.
Try with a mini dress.
A cross between a gladiator and a jelly, the fisherman sandal has made a return following its success in 2021. For 2022, Max Mara put them back on our radar in shiny silver iterations. Now, fashion editors and influencers are styling them as the in-betweeny weather shoe thanks to the closed toe.
These are naturally selling out fast.
So fun.
Love this white pair with contrasting sole.
Delivering a retro 70s vibe to any look, clogs are the unlikely contender making its way to the top of our wish list. The likes of Rejina Pyo and Ganni made them the stars of their shows, and now everyone is wearing flat or mid-heeled versions with everything from jeans to floaty dresses.

You’ll be able to wear these with absolutely everything.
So good with denim.
Saint Laurent, Acne Studios and Versace all backed power platforms. The super stacked heels have made quite the name for themselves, thanks to Versace’s ‘medusa’ style worn by Beyoncé, Tracee Ellis Ross and every fashion influencer on Instagram. So many brands have now followed suit, and we’ve picked the best of the best–including said Versace pair.
Totally obsessed with these.
Spring in a shoe.
These now iconic platforms are known for selling out so fast.
Sporty sandals are a favourite each and every year. From Prada’s colourful styles everyone loved a few years back, to Chanel’s chunky pair that have just been released in fresh new colourways, this style is sticking around for the long haul. And we put it down to the 10/10 comfort factor.
An update on the flatform sandals.
Uber comfy.
We all know Prada sandals are always a wise investment.
The penny loafer has been elevated to dreamy new heights this year, and we mean this quite literally. The chunky, thick sole styles were everywhere on the runways, and designer and high street brands have created styles you can wear with any outfit this season.
A firm favourite the last few seasons.
Try with an oversized blazer and short suit.
The chunkier the better.
