Fashion Insiders Are Crowning These the It Shoes of 2019

It’s time to discuss one of this editor’s favorite topics: shoes. Most importantly, which shoe styles will matter in 2019, including the exact pairs that fashion insiders are adding into their wardrobes. To find out exactly which shoe styles are set to explode in the year ahead, I asked the fashion set to share which ones they’ve already been wearing on repeat and the ones that are currently sitting in their shopping carts.

Ahead, see the cool styles fashion insiders are calling out as the It shoes of 2019. With picks ranging from round-toe boots and logo slides to platform sneakers and graffiti pumps making the cut, there are plenty of new trends to keep an eye out for in the coming year. Based in locales across the globes (L.A., London, Paris, Amsterdam, are more), these insiders are giving us the download on which It shoes to wear in 2019.
