The line-up of autumn/winter 2025 shoe trends reads like a wishlist of wardrobe classics. A fresh batch of fashion sneakers had the front row craning their necks at the runway shows, including styles presented by Miuccia Prada, who has become a master purveyor of excellent off-duty footwear. Together with Raf Simons, Ms. Prada complemented paper bag-waistband skirts with leather sneakers, complete with intentionally-distressed details like scuffs and raw edges. At Miu Miu, meanwhile, the final product was quite the opposite: smooth leather trainers, realized in retro silhouettes, with intricately-stitched accents and buckles.

In today’s comfort-driven age, these Miu Mius could fall into the “smart shoe” category, but for those with a penchant for more trad takes, an array of lace-ups also featured on the runways – Victoria Beckham, Rabanne and McQueen were but a few brands that demonstrated easy-to-achieve polish. Willing to embrace a heel? Knife-edged styles courtesy of Saint Laurent, gathered satin pumps at Dries Van Noten and pointed takes at Tom Ford will satiate a stiletto appetite.

Here, Vogue highlights a hat-trick of standout autumn/winter 2025 shoe trends – and where to shop them, now – updated as retailer deliveries drop.

Derbies and Brogues

Even the simplest of outfits can benefit from a great shoe: a T-shirt and jeans pairing, for example, is immediately elevated with the addition of a high-shine derby or brogue. The autumn/winter 2025 runways presented an abundance of options, plus a healthy bank of styling inspiration to make getting dressed in the morning that little bit easier.

Next-Gen Sneakers

Each season, a selection of wishlist-worthy options enter the fore. While sportswear behemoths will no doubt contribute a plethora of viral styles to the sneaker sphere in the coming months, fashion types will be fawning over Miu Miu’s buckled trainers, Prada’s distressed styles, Simone Rocha’s ribboned laces, and Stella McCartney’s retro pairs.

Fashion Pumps

What makes a pump a “fashion” pump? When it’s given special treatment by a top-tier designer, of course, by way of extravagant bows, frilled flourishes, satin wraps or heels that could (metaphorically) splice a diamond. Saint Laurent, Dries Van Noten, Ferragamo, Tom Ford, and Prada (naturally) delivered on all fronts.
