Take this as your sign to book that pedicure—spring 2026 is bringing open toes and mesh flats to the main stage, with a spotlight on backless mules. Or at least that’s what Nordstrom’s new arrivals are showing.
It’s part of my daily routine at this point to start the morning by scrolling through Nordstrom. Not only does it fall under my shopping-editor duties, but also I end up with chic new additions to my spring 2026 wish list. Today’s hot finds? Shoes, shoes, and more shoes.
Ahead, six rich-looking Nordstrom shoe trends chic women are wearing in 2026. Scroll on to browse wallet-friendly finds (oh, did I forget to mention many picks are under $200), standout sneakers, elegant flats, and versatile sandals.
6 Rich-Looking Shoe Trends at Nordstrom
Glove Flats
Here’s the thing: Glove flats have always been around. Just a few years ago, we would have called them stuffy and dated, and now they are the epitome of rich-looking. The foot-hugging silhouette and high vamp whisper luxury. Don’t believe me? Next time you’re out and about, keep an eye out for a glove flat.

Satin Sneakers
Goodbye, suede trainers, and hello, satin sneakers—a callout from my in and out spring 2026 trends earlier this month. The air sneaker trend dominated the spring 2026 runways. Its slim silhouette and often shiny satin finish make it a compelling candidate for the top 2026 sneaker trends. Wear it with a pair of cigarette jeans or balloon trousers, and expect compliments from your chicest friends.

Thong Kitten Heels
I’ll take any excuse to talk about the Open Edit Tori Kitten Heel Sandal. Not only is this $50 sandal right on budget, but it’s also a fit for the ’90s minimalist aesthetic sweeping IG right now. Thank you, CBK. Plus, it’s an editor favorite.

Slim Mules
Even though I scroll Nordstrom at least once a day, I’m still pleasantly surprised when I discover something chic, epecially when shopping in store. You see things in a different light. Like these Veronica Beard Narcisa Mules. I tried them on and absolutely fell in love. A sleek mule is the perfect spring shoe IMO. Just step in and go.

The toe-loop sandal is a cooler, more elevated version of your everyday flip-flop. It’s flirty, chic, and most of all practical. Save it for the next sunny spring day.
