Next spring, we add high-top sneakers to our wardrobe, lace up our shoes, and give bare shoes another chance. However, let’s talk about everything in order in my review, made based on the results of the Spring-Summer 2025 Fashion Weeks.
We lace and tie
The presence of laces and ties is the main unifying characteristic of shoe models from the spring-summer 2025 collections. Dries Van Noten laces up wedge mules, Simone Rocha laces up ballet flats and brogues, Chloé laces up shoes with a small heel, Prada has equipped Mary Jane shoes with laces, and Christian Dior has equipped high-top sneakers with laces. So, let’s remember how to lace up shoes correctly, if you’ve suddenly forgotten how.

Through (on) a finger
Perhaps the most controversial trend of spring-summer 2025 (for me personally) is toe-thrust shoes. In addition to the usual flip-flops, Miu Miu offered a toe-thrust on shoes and sports sandals, Ferragamo, Proenza Schouler and Prabal Gurung – on heeled sandals, Tod’s, Hermès and Isabel Marant equipped leather sandals with a toe-thrust, and Christian Dior, Etro and Victoria Beckham – boots.

Sneakers – from regular to high-top
It seems that designers have accepted the fact that sneakers are a must-have and have brought them back to the catwalks en masse. A couple of seasons ago, ankle-length sneakers began to make a comeback, and the spring-summer 2025 collections have seen models that reach up to the knee. High-tops were found at Loewe, Chloé, Ann Demeulemeester, Stella McCartney and Christian Dior .

Transparent and jelly
The global trend for transparency has long since reached shoes. Now designers create the illusion of bare legs not only with the help of mesh, vinyl has come into play, and it seems that fashionistas are not embarrassed by the fact that it is not very comfortable. Courreges, Fendi, Simone Rocha and others suggested that we change into transparent fabric shoes in the spring, Victoria Beckham, Versace and Giambattista Valli – into plastic shoes, Chloé presented jelly sandals with a small heel or platform, and Dries Van Noten found a way out for those who find “naked” shoes too bold and made only the heel of the shoes transparent. I give my vote to Rabanne for shoes in a vinyl “raincoat”.

Smart
In spring and summer 2025, not only bags but also shoes want to dress up. The catwalk featured feathers we are already accustomed to at Louis Vuitton, Ferragamo and Proenza Schouler , rhinestones at Gucci, Jil Sander and Fendi , pearls at Simone Rocha and Giambattista Valli . In the wake of the surge of irony in fashion, designers invited us to smile by giving some shoe models funny or naive decor. Thus, Coach parked a toy car on sneakers, Off-White decorated sandals with bottle caps, Louis Vuitton showered shoes with coins, Bottega Veneta placed a cute frog on mules, and Balmain approved a perfume bottle as heels.
