Sure, there were gladiator sandals, carved-out heels, and sky-high stilettos on the runways—but for spring 2022, we're all about giving our feet some much needed TLC. Practical heel widths, sensible heel heights, and classic staples—like ballet flats— are what we're most excited about for the season. But don't worry, you can still play dress-up with Mary-Janes à la Chanel and cozy fur-lined slides as seen on the catwalk at Altuzarra. Ahead, start shopping the spring 2022 shoe trends that will get the most playtime in your closet.
