Spring is nearly here, and with it comes the urge to bust out of our cold-weather footwear and into fresh silhouettes. This season, shoes are hitting a practical stride—from the return of the kitten heel (modernized, of course) to sensible slides and mules (though not without a twist) plus feminine-fun styles like exquisite satin and platforms. Here, your guide to shopping the season’s most prominent trends, suited for every budget.

The Spring Shoes Everyone Will Be Wearing

The kitten heel is officially back and is the leading silhouette for spring. From slim heels to block styles, get ready to go low.

Slides are continuing their reign and get a refresh with eye-catching embellishments and bold colors.

Inventive block heels, V-shape and high vamps lend a modernist touch to another majorly favorite silhouette in recent seasons.

The fabric du jour for spring, elegant satin is made cool whether minimal, pom-adorned or color-blocked.

Chunky platforms get a feminine spin via woven leather, cheeky prints and darling accents.
