New Year! New Shoes! From the snug winter staples to the perfect party pumps, Voir has you covered with the shoe trends that are appearing in our daily Insta scroll! A couple of these shoe trends might be familiar since they’ve resurfaced and have stuck around from seasons past, while others feel fresher or are modern iterations of classic styles.

The 70’s Platform!

Whether calling back to the 70s-era or modernizing the style in a whole new way, the platform shoe is back and ready to elevate us to new heights coming out of quarantine fashion. Recently, ’70s fashions have been on the uptick when it comes to nostalgic fashion trends. We’ve seen the 90s and 2000s-era styles become popular over the last few years, and now, fashion is looking to the swinging 70s for some inspiration – including sky-high shoes!

The Humble Dad Trainer

Gen Z’s latest style obsession comes in the form of none other than the humble dad trainer. Comfy, chunky and practical as hell, the dad trainer is the shoe you didn’t know you needed for 2022. Adding street style edge to just about any look, these trainers are perfect for the every day and it’s a good job because they are here to stay.

The Classic Loafer

No longer reserved for a day in the office, the chunky loafer is the celeb-favourite style that is already taking off as the shoe for 2022. The classic silhouette and platformed sole make for a winning combination where preppy meets cool.

The Mini Boot

The Y2K revival is going from strength to strength with the mini shearling boot being the latest addition to the long list of trends fashion is snatching from the early 2000s. Popularised by Australian footwear label, UGG, many brands are now following in their footsteps to recreate the dinky winter bootie.

The Leather Combat

With its timeless design and hardwearing body, the leather combat boot is the foolproof stomp around shoe that will help you conquer 2022 in style. Loved by many, for decades, these kicks can be paired with just about any look to give off that grungy edge.

The Stylish Slip On

Taking all the comfort we became accustomed to in 2021 and adding a whole lot of style, the slip on shoe is the updated slipper we will be wearing all throughout this year. They also make a great addition to the socks and sandals trend that has recently made a comeback too.

The Flirty Knee High

The ultimate out-on-the-town shoe since the early 1960s, the knee high boot is daring, flirty and always ready for a good time. Paired with a super short mini skirt to reveal just the right amount of leg, strut into the new year with confidence. Bold black leather or glossy patent red, what will be your pick for 2022?

Whilst the pandemic has worsened living conditions for many, some designers took initiative to give back to communities and help out during these unprecedented times. Christian Louboutin took action by launching a capsule collection with the intent of supporting 5 different no-profit organisations, which share his values and those of Idris Elba and Sabrina, two of his dearest friends who helped him design and give birth to the collection.

This special collection started from a conversation on an Instagram live between Idris Elba and the writer Opal Tometi, who embraced the ideas of the visionary shoe designer and conquered his spirit. The objective of the collection was to create something truly meaningful that will make a tangible difference towards all those communities that are hardly given a voice, emarginated and who have struggled to be considered by society.

Along the distinctive traits of the Louboutin characteristics, every item aims to celebrate equality, justice and freedom, which everyone should be entitled to. For these specific reasons, the three friends, united by their shared affection for these no-profits, have taken inspiration from two activists of the early 20th century: Martin Luther jr and Nelson Mandela.

The emblem of the collection in the “Stelitzia reginae”, commonly known as the crane flower. Its distinctive roots – that are so attached to the ground – its large leafs and its unrivaled elegance, have made it become over the years a symbol of empathy, hope and freedom. These precise values are at the core of Walk A Mile In My Shoes, the LA memorial dedicated to Martin Luther King jr that displays the cast of his shoes, which has inspired the collection.

An impressive significance that only the visionary designer could capture so exquisitely, with references that are truly honorable and serving for the right causes. The collection is a conglomerate of conversations and alliances between the three friends, which make it their priority to enforce their empowering ideals and support these specific communities. The whole proceed will be donated to these charities:

BE ROSE

This association supports the most vulnerable groups, in need of emergency aid through agribusiness.

PURPOSEFUL

It was Idris’ heritage in Sierra Leone that brought her to contribute to this association so passionately, along with the organization’s closeness to her roots. They specifically help girls in need of assistance.

THE IMMEDIATE THEATRE

This no-profit actively enforces that the arts should be accessible to all.

SOMALI HOPE FOUNDATION

Sabrina’s roots are reflected in her efforts to support the Somali Hope Foundation, that helps guarantee access to education for those that don’t start with the right foot in life.

GATHERING FOR JUSTICE

At last, this organization founded by Harry Belafonte has the objective of stopping children’s imprisonment, fighting for achieving a community without violence.

Playing on the brand’s distinctive colours, but also on the duality between the ferocity of the weight that the collection carries – in terms of its significance – and hope, which is infused cathartically in the designs, as seen from the crane flower embellished white sneaker.

Bare legs and knee-high boots

Sexy but seasonal? Knee-high boots are THE shoes to be wearing right now, and while that’s true of most autumnal seasons, this year they have made a serious comeback and are likely to be the footwear trend that we think of when we remember AW2020. This look is best served minimal – think boots in blacks browns and whites, paired with shorts or mini skirts, and of course, the bare leg that gives this look the perfect mixture of chic but sultry.

Chunky Welly-boots

How do you keep the ugly footwear trend in your wardrobe as we go into autumn? Chunky Welly-boots of course! As the season changes, the summer staples of Birkenstocks and Teva’s are quickly fading out of our wardrobes, but chunky Welly-boots are the perfect way to keep on 2020’s ugly footwear hype. This year chunky Welly-boots have been seen in collections by Versace, Dior, Chloé, and Bottega Veneta to name a few.

For a chic but understated look, style with a chunky blazer and sleek gym shorts, or if you’re feeling more adventurous, take a cropped pair of boots and pair with a vibrant maxi skirt.

Embellished shoes

How do you feel like you’re at a party without being at a party? Embellish your shoes. Twinkle toes were featured by Gucci, Oscar De La Renta, and Loewe this year, and they hit a 2020 spot: making you feel glamorous when doing anything glamorous is virtually impossible. The shoes have been paired with ballooning print skirts and glittery trousers in a totally wild look designed to take your breath away, or for a more understated vibe, pair with low slung jeans.

Combat Boots

Combat boots for Autumn are hardly groundbreaking, but nonetheless, they are set to be everywhere this season. This year they popped up in collections by Dolce & Gabbana, Paco Rabanne, and Vivienne Westwood, but it was last weeks viral picture of Zoe Kravitz on the set of the new Batman movie, that has ensured combat boots will be everywhere this year. Pair with a leather jacket, for pure punk rock energy, or with a classic pair of denim blue jeans for a more relaxed take.
