4 Autumn 2020 Shoe Trends to Get on Your Radar ASAP

Making a triumphant return, over-the-knee boots were all over designer runways in New York in London.

Another It boot for 2020? Riding boots! Witnessed at Brock Collection, Brandon Maxwell, and Michael Kors Collection, among others.

Though designers took inspiration from many decades, a common thread between them was vintage-inspired heels. From Victorian-inspired satin pumps at Self-Portrait to '60's-style Mary Janes at Marc Jacobs, this look consists of lower heels, high-cut vamps, and detailing like bows, buckles, and rhinestones.
