Trends change throughout the years and the shoe trends in 2019 are going to be slightly different to those of 2018. The new year generally brings about change and improvements, with many people having the ‘out with the old, in with the new’ mentality, and a lot of people clear out their wardrobes and shoe racks to make space for their new on-trend purchases.

In 2018, we saw the classic-retro trends of animal print and block heels make a comeback, but for 2019, footwear trends seem to be going in the opposite direction! Colour schemes are changing from extremely loud and colourful to light pastels, with lavender and cobalt blue making a return, and we’ll also see a lot more of a dainty shoe in our top shoe trends in 2019, with thin, tinted PVC and transparent lucite heels.

One of the big trends for 2019 is boots, ankle boots to be exact. It seems we’re quite partial to the ankle boot, and those in the know indicate that they’ll be a firm favourite throughout the year, not just in the colder months. Closely followed by the boot is the trainer. It seems comfort and convenience are going to be a massive purchase-influencer in trainer trends for 2019, with minimalism being a key feature, particularly in men’s shoes, and we’re all for it!
