Fashion for the feet is sometimes overlooked, but what use is a fantastic outfit without a great set of shoes to match? The year 2020 brings a need for something to feel good about more than ever so a cool looking pair of shoes is a must. No matter what your preference whether it’s chic, trendy, comfortable or even practical, there are some great trends this year to delight everyone:

1. Rainbow sneakers

It’s a bit of a serious struggle to find joy right now but rainbow sneakers seem to be very popular in 2020. It could be that people need an infusion of color and joy and if you’re going to do that why not go the whole spectrum? Top brands such as Sketchers, Michael Kors, Keds, Pride and Converse all have variations of the Rainbow Sneaker. With everything from subtle rainbow trim to full-on, all-over rainbow coloring, Rainbow sneakers are the bright trend of 2020.

2. High top Sneakers

It seems like high tops have always been around in the world of trendy footwear and 2020 is no exception. Featured highly this year are white high tops, platforms, 80’s redux, sneaker boots and even dad style. There is a whole gambit of choices out there in high tops with high-end offerings from companies such as Spectre as well as great ranges from the stalwart companies Nike, Reebok and Keds. The high top is very much a fashion that will not soon go away.

3. Leather loafers

Comfort doesn’t always have to mean sneakers or relaxed looking shoes. Leather loafers are hot for 2020 and with a combination of appearing professional and classy they are also intended to be comfortable. Fashion houses all over the globe have been featuring the loafer heavily in their ranges for 2020. Perfect for a more classy outfit, brands such as UGG, Everlane and Florsheim are getting in on the action by producing some trendy loafers.

4. Chunky platforms

Who doesn’t want an extra inch or two in height? Then add to that some cool-looking chunky platform footwear and you’re on trend. The chunky platform is trending highly in 2020 being featured on the top runways and with many manufacturers getting in on the action. Be it sneakers, boots or shoes, a chunky platform fits in and looks great. All of the top sneaker brands have their own chunky platforms and many high-end shoe makers have some new beautiful ranges as well.

5. Sky high boots

The fall runways are set to be littered with sky high boots of all shape and color. As can often happen with trends, there is a great deal of variation and sky highs are no exception. Ranging from above the knee to so far up the leg that they are almost pants, sky highs will definitely be a Fall hit and likely extend into the Winter as well. Who doesn’t want to look fantastic and have warm legs to boot?
