If you’re wondering what the fall 2024 shoe trends are, IMHO we’re in luck! Chelsea boots are back, chunky heels that won’t make you wobble, kitten heels that are feminine but not too tall, edgy moto boots, classic loafers, variations on mary janes. And if you want a break from neutrals, it’s fun to see metallic shoes making a comeback in this fall’s shoe trends.

After browsing the fashion magazine’s super expensive recommendations for fall 2024 shoe trends, we put together our own list — with all shoes under $75. Because you really don’t have to spend a fortune to update your shoe wardrobe.

For that reason, we also went with blacks, browns and neutrals so that you can get the most use out of them. But hey, if you’re dying for an affordable pair of kitten heels in red, have at it!
