Springtime Footwear Trends to Be Aware of at Marriotts Walk

As spring’s sights, sounds and smells are in full bloom, the time of year has arrived when people start to venture beyond their four walls.

With the lighter evenings and longer, warmer days upon us, it’s the encouragement we need to surface with a smile. And what is the essential item we need to step outside with confidence? On-trend, comfortable and reliable footwear, of course.

Higher Up or Lower Down

When it comes to footwear, there’s never been so many styles, materials, textures and colours to choose from. Then there’s the question of platforms, memory foam or minimalist foot carriers. Do you dress up or down? Select a boot, shoe or sandal – and their various hybrid or sub-style options. In this latest Marriotts Walk blog, we look at some of the newest springtime footwear trends this year.

Mesh and Platform Flats

Ballet flats for women have been stepping out for some time, but spring 2024 offers two equally attractive options. The first are lightweight and mesh in style. This simple shoe is delicate and perfect for dressing up or down, and you’ll look just as elegant combining a pair of mesh ballet flats with a dress, jeans or trouser suit. The second is a chunkier style of loafers, sandals or mules that will complement any outfit – bulky or light!

Twinkle Toes

The catwalks are donning full-frontal toe peepers this season with the odd single-toe option for sandals, shoes and boots. On the high street, slingback sandals with low heels are a must for venturing out, out this spring. Their elegance perfectly lends to denim or tailored suits, and you can choose from various colours and gloss or matt finishes with these easy, comfy staples. Everyday durable, flat sandals are an excellent alternative for daytime trips and holidays and are equally versatile with your wardrobe. Check out New Look, M&S and Hobbs and get kitted out for spring and summer.

Boots, Boots and More Boots

Boots will always remain a firm favourite, with styles moving up and down the leg and offering a variety of heel heights and sole depths. This season, boots are taking on a lighter look with cream, beige, and nude colours, which look great combined with any wardrobe essential. Mini heels and mid-calf are taking pole position for elevation and height, with the usual colour contenders of black, cream, and brown.

Metallic Points and Heels

Metallics have held popularity for a long time in general fashion trends, and the glamour colour has reached the feet with strappy, pointy numbers. The catwalk may have luxury brands fighting over silvers, golds and bronzes, but you can also find affordable alternatives at Marriotts Walk. Platform heels and soles also make a bold statement with black leather, gloss and satin options available alongside their metallic cousins.

New Look has a stunning range of metallic sandals with glitter or diamante straps, shimmer looks and suedette strappy block heels. M&S offer simple pointed ballet pumps, slingbacks, court shoes and loafers for every occasion.

Slimline Trainers

Another essential pair of foot comfies are bouncy trainers. This season, trainers come slimline with a multitude of colour amalgamations to suit your outfit or your mood. Popular brands include Adidas Samba, Nike, Puma and New Balance. Pop into Sports Direct, Fat Face and New Look for a variety of iconic sports brands or fashion alternatives.

Outdoor Essentials

Footwear wouldn’t be complete without a robust pair of walking boots or shoes. Choose from leather or nubuck for reliability and consider waterproof options to keep your toes dry against the unpredictability of the great British summertime weather. Trespass has a huge range of trainers, shoes, boots and wellies, while Sports Direct and The Outdoorist stock many renowned sportswear brands.

Must-Haves for Men

Despite fewer footwear choices for men, there are still seasonal trends to follow. This springtime, running shoes, loafers and mules are all looking for a place on the shoe rack. Combat-style 70s boots offer an alternative to hiking boots, and the oiled leather look is a striking change from matt and gloss leather. Check out Fat Face for sliders and earthy-tone trainers.
