Scroll down to check out our top shoe picks from Adidas, Steve Madden, Puma, Free People, and more. These are the kicks that will kick your style into high gear this season. 

Ballet Sneakers

Cute, demure, and coquette, a pair of ballet sneakers add an adorable touch to any outfit. It's a sneaker on the bottom, with all the ribbons and satin of a ballet slipper on top, perfect for a run or a plie.

These ballerina sneakers will slip into first position in your closet. Snag them before they sell out, in 7 demure colorways.

Part sneaker, part ballet slipper, this pair of leather Keds has a thick sole and pointed toe that will have you rocking the balletcore trend in no time.

Retro Vibe Sneakers

These are the sneakers that give you that vintage feel and elevate any look. They're streamlined with a low profile, and make you feel like listening to some vinyl.

When you're talking about sneaker trends, adidas Sambaes always seem to be part of the conversation. These retro sneakers are always back in style.

We love Sarah Hyland's style and she is a big fan of these adidas shoes this season. She reports, "I love the adidas 3.0 Court shoes so so much. I used to wear adidas a lot in middle school and high school so I’m loving that they’re coming back in style. I am wearing some right now."

The color palette of these popular adidas shoes just makes us think of the 70s and fall foliage. There are 17 colorways to choose from and the style looks great in every decade.

Animal Print Sneakers

We saw animal prints trending in our boot roundup, and now they're back for sneakers. A pop of leopard is the ideal neutral to pair with any fall outfit.

Go wild with these leopard print sneakers. They're a versatile low-top that's the purr-fect mix of style and comfort. Plus, they come in metallic colorways, too (another trend on this list).

I own several pairs of these budget-friendly, Old Navy slip-ons, but the leopard print is definitely my fav. They're so comfortable, easy to slide your feet in and out, and look great with socks or without.

Metallic Sneakers

If you want a sneaker with some bling, then you must check out these metallic sneakers. Shiny and shimmery, they elevate any look (or Renaissance tour fit).

We're big fans of the boho chic clothes at Free People, and that goes for their footwear selection, too. These shiny, shimmery sneakers are like wearing disco balls on your feet.

With a little bit of height and a lot of shine, these metallic sneakers are a home run. Pair them with jeans and a shacket for apple picking with style.

Suede Sneakers

When you want mature footwear, but still want that comfort, you'll need some suede sneakers. They're soft, sophisticated, and made for fall coziness.

Say ciao to the Italian Suede Everyday Sneaker. So elegant and elevated, you really will want to wear them every day...and sip some cappuccino while you do it.

Suede-like and the perfect shade of dark green for fall, these New Balance sneakers must be added to your cart. Reviewers rave that they're also very comfortable.

Platform Sneakers

Give yourself a little height with a pair of platform sneakers. Cushioned and comfy, they'll also help give you a boost when your pant's hem is too long.

Reviewers are as obsessed with these platform sneakers as we are. One fan raved, "These are my favorite sneakers right now. They're so comfortable. I spent an entire day at an amusement park with no issues. I like the height boost as well."

Available in 7 colorways and lots of lift, you'll love wearing these Nike sneakers all season long. They also come in half sizes.

Colorful Sneakers

Bold color can add a much-needed element to an outfit. Check out these sneakers that pop with pigment.

These bestselling sneakers (and a TikTok favorite) feature a low sole and pop of color that pairs perfectly with denim, corduroy, or a maxi dress. Snag them in 7 bright colorways.

Adidas is a popular option on this list (and TikTok), and there's good reason for that. Not only are they so easy to style, they also look chic and come in so many bright colorways. Case in point: these bright red Gazelles.

Say goodbye to your loafers and ballet flats. Take it from a shopping editor, these are the Doc Marten boots you need this fall.
