Fashion has never really cared about the calendar, and this year’s early fall shoe rotation is proof. While the rest of us are still working through the last of our sandals, a handful of celebrities have already swapped in the boots, loafers, and structured pumps that will define the next few months. It started in late July, and every time I check the Celebrity Style page, I see more fall moments. People are just truly ready for this season to kick off.
You don’t need a full closet overhaul to keep up. There are already a few standout styles of the season’s most-repeated shoe trends that will be worth investing in. Stars from Selena Gomez to Zoë Kravitz are giving a glimpse of exactly how to wear them before everyone else catches on. Below, see these five shoe trends I’d say are worth noting.

Gomez wore her brown heeled boots in Venice while it was still 85° out, and that’s exactly the kind of confidence this trend calls for. If she says it’s worth overheating for, I’d say it’s something to invest in ahead of fall.

Now, this is an outfit formula worth stealing if your closet is still stuck in summer mode. A pump iteration on classic ballet flats has major staying power. Zoë Kravitz just so happens to be wearing the next shoe trend I want to buy into, and I’m not at all jealous.
