Marilyn Monroe famously said, "Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world," and we wholeheartedly agree with that statement. Each season, we anxiously wait to see what shoe styles will make it big. We scoured both the runways and the streets to see which trends will be taking over this Spring, and we were very pleased with what we found. From normcore dad sneakers to wild cowboy boots, we're counting down the eight hottest shoe trends you'll be seeing everywhere this Spring. Read on to see what made the cut, and shop some of our favourite picks ahead.
