11 Shoe Trends the Coolest London Girls Are Wearing

London Fashion Week was a feast for the eyes in more ways than one. From the breathtaking collections by the likes of Erdem and Christoper Kane to the street style of the showgoers, there was much to behold. One of the things we never forget to do when faced with so much sartorial inspiration is to look down—at everyone's shoes. British girls have proven themselves quite loyal to a shoe trend once they grasp it (their recent affinity for Tevas is particularly noteworthy), so we're always intrigued to see what their new favorite styles are come fashion week.

Stylish Londoners like Lucy Williams, Caroline Issa, Lisa Aiken, and Susie Lau served up so much fresh shoe trend inspiration at London Fashion Week, and we're here to make it known. Keep scrolling to familiarize yourself with the 11 styles that you're going to see everywhere in the UK (and elsewhere, no doubt) soon.
